Mothering Many

I’ve posted about Capella University before, and I guess in my mind, I’ve equated it with those schools that you see little ads for in the back of women’s magazines. That is, I kinda discredited as a viable resource for higher education, even as I liked and shared some of the information about them. But Capella is continuing to grow and change. Their latest offerings include Bachelor of Science in Public Safety program, as well as eight new graduate and undergraduate specializations in psychology, education, information technology, business, and criminal justice.

I did some poking around on the site, and I discovered that Capella takes federal financial aid, and can even help you with applying for it. I don’t know why that makes a difference in my mind, but it does, so I’m looking at Capella again with fresh eyes. Not for me, but for my children. If I spend their early school years tailoring a program to their needs, and allowing them to work on a flexible schedule, then having them continue that pattern for college may not be a bad idea.
