("We may be able to work with an HBCU in converting HBCU
courses to an online format if there was a strategic reason
to do so, such as a joint degree program.") |

both the HBCU and Capella enter into discussions to ascertain
whether there is the potential to develop a win-win situation
that would justify the complexities of developing a relationship.
Until we could both explore the details, we at Capella University
would assume that such a relationship is not only possible but
desirable." |

|

("U. of Phoenix does not offer general
non-credit courses online") |
"Our courses transfer
as would those of any other regionally accredited institution."

not individual courses. Our students do not weave in and out of
the University as traditional students often do. Thus, the logistics
of the type of partnership described are not consonant with our
infrastructure" |
No
"... it does not appear that University
of Phoenix is a good fit for the proposed project." |
