Education for a Lifetime Since its founding in 1830 by the Lutheran Church, Capital has earned a reputation for academic excellence ... a reputation for being one of the top colleges and universities in the country. Data gathered recently by the Lutheran Educational Council of North America shows that Capital and its sister church institutions deliver a quality, personalized and affordable education better than what you can get at many flagship public schools.
Progressive yet Personal You'll benefit from a quality liberal arts education that is coupled with professional training, enabling you to successfully bridge the gap between the classroom and the work world. Equally important, you'll benefit from the attention faculty and staff pay to the moral, social and ethical development of each student. When you become a student at Capital University, you become part of the "Cap Family," a family that cares about the total growth and well-being of each of its members.
A Wealth of Choices Capital University is composed of five colleges: the College of Arts and Sciences, Conservatory of Music, School of Management, School of Nursing and the Law School. In addition, there is a Center for Lifelong Learning available in Columbus to meet the needs of working adults.
A Chance to Excel First and foremost, Capital is a teaching university, where interaction with your professors and your learning experience are top priorities. You'll be challenged by professors who know you as a person, not as a number. They'll be there as your friends as well as your teachers.
A World of Opportunity Learning isn't confined to the classroom at Capital. Regardless of your major, you can participate in an internship as an undergraduate that allows you to apply your newly learned skills to real-life, on-the-job situations. You also can take advantage of a number of international study opportunities available in countries around the world. Closer to home, there's a wide range of extracurricular activities at Capital for you to consider. In addition, the Greater Columbus area offers an endless array of theatres, galleries, shops, restaurants, museums and sporting events for you to enjoy.
A Commitment to Students Capital is committed to creating a university environment that reflects the rich diversity of the community-at-large. In support of that commitment, Capital staff members work with students and their families to find the most appropriate resources to finance their university experience. Capital's reputation for quality and affordability has earned it recognition in the last several listings of Barron's 300: Best Buys in College Education.
