Military Advanced Edcuation magazine has named Capella University one of the top 30 military-friendly institutions. Capella was recognized in the publication's December issue for the fact that 17 percent of the online university's students are either military members, veterans or family members with military connections.

In addition to the raw percentage, Capella was selected for its contracts, student feedback, degree programs, and military-friendly policies. Nicole Lovald, the armed forces and veterans support supervisor for Capella, states, "We extend a military discount to active duty personnel, their immediate family members, and veterans. We also provide five $10,000 Spirit of Capella Scholarships to students who have been injured in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom."

Capella, a fully accredited, online university has grown to serve more than 20,000 students from all 50 states and 56 countries. The university has become a significant provider of graduate level programming with nearly 17,000 of its students seeking master's or PhD degrees online.
