That is a legitimate concern

Capella University is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. This is the same accreditation as the University of Illinois (Urbana), generally recognized as one of the finest, in the U.S.

Accreditation can be withdrawn, if a school fails to maintain the quality standards that got it accredited.
I have a special warmth, for Capella, because my uncle, Dr. Harold Abel, was a founder, and their School of Psychology is named after him.
However, there are several accredited, online universities. Before choosing any university, one should check its credentials, accreditation, and the success rate of its graduates, carefully.
