Class-action lawsuit alleges Capella University lied about time, cost of advanced degrees

Two former students say Minneapolis-based Capella University lied about how much time and money it would take to complete an advanced degree.

Kansas resident Carolyn Wright and Debbra Kennedy of Tennessee filed a class-action lawsuit Friday in U.S. District Court in Minnesota.

Wright, who began pursuing a doctor of nursing practice in spring 2014, said she was told it would take two years and cost about $35,000. But Capella’s website later said the program takes 30 months, the complaint alleges, and that figure was then revised to 39 months.

Wright said she earned top grades and paid $53,000 before the online school assigned her a new instructor who said she’d “have to start all over” on her project. She tried to fight it but finally left for another school.
