Hello,
I got accepted into both Walden and Capella MSN Administration and Leadership program and wanted to get feedback on what program is the best.
Thanks

I'm not a student of either, though I've done quite a bit of research on both. Walden has a wide range of programs, I've heard from some people that their education was good others who said it wasn't. The biggest downside is that Walden is quite expensive especially for a leadership degree. They are also not regionally accredited, this may or may not be a big to you, regional accreditation tends to verify a certain amount of rigor and high academic quality.
Capella has a pretty good reputation, I've not really heard any negatives about them most students seem pretty satisfied. Their prices are pretty reasonable too. They also have two different paths to finish your degree which is nice. Last I checked they were not regionally accredited.
You may wish to consider Western-Governor University's MSN program, it is very affordable and regionally accredited. Also American Sentinel University has an MSN that is affordable and they recently became regionally accredited, oh and they also offer a payment plan for tuition which is pretty cool.
Hope this helps.
