學生評價
- The faculty are very friendly and helpful. Also all of the students in my major and the education field are very friendly as well. The workload is moderate for my major but not over whelming. My gen ed classes pile on too much work.
- Many of the professors for the general education classes suck. They take classes too seriously and pile on too much work which takes away from my classes in my field.
- The Music Technology program is pretty great. There are studios that are usually open (when there isn't a project due) where you get to practice and apply the lessons the professor's taught. The professors are great as well.
- It is a really nice school but the cost of it scares people away. The campus is really pretty but it is just to expensive
- The academics at Capital University are great, yes some classes like your core ones may seem boring but the teachers really do their best to teach what you need to know. There are numerous majors and minors offered all with great staff teaching the courses. Capital even has a major that not many colleges have which is art therapy which is taught by a board certified art therapist who has many years of training as do all the teachers working there. They are available and work with you and make classes enjoyable as well as valuable for the lessons learned.
- The class work keeps you busy and there is much to be expected of you. Being a law student is not easy but it will be worth it in the end.
- Nursing at Capital is one of the best. They do work you hard in the classroom but you learn much more than other people do in another school. The curriculum isnt too difficult its just the work you do in the classroom that makes it seem so hard. The nursing facilities are fantastic and classes are very small so that you get one on one attention.*(4)
