MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Capella University has announced the addition of five specializations to its innovative FlexPath direct-assessment degree delivery programs.

• Bachelor of Science (BS) in Business, Human Resource Management specialization;
• Bachelor of Science (BS) in Business, Project Management specialization;
• Master of Business Administration (MBA), Human Resource Management specialization;
