Who Do You Want to Be?

At Capital we don't just ask, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" For us it's more about, "Who do you want to be?" What kind of experiences do you want? What kind of values? What kind of future? We've helped graduates ask — and often answer — those questions for more than 175 years. Now it's your turn.

The Education You Want

Pass through the campus gates to discover a top-ranked education and a world of opportunities.

  • Choose from 60 majors and 39 minors including music, nursing, business and our distinctive computational studies degree.

  • Learn by doing, whether it's an accounting internship in downtown Columbus, eight weeks studying nursing in Sweden or a semester cutting tracks at a leading recording studio.

  • Grow and lead through student organizations like University Programming and our nationally ranked Debate Team, or through our Division III athletics or our intramural programs.

  • Experience a liberal arts education that gives you a foundation of ideas, abilities and values to succeed in work and life.

  • Dig deeper at a Lutheran-affiliated school that provides opportunities to explore yourself and your faith, from chapel and Gospel Choir to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

The Attention You Deserve

Who do you want to be? Capital University is full of people who are ready to help you find the answer.

With small classes and a low student-to-faculty ratio, your professors — no TAs! — will tailor your education to your strengths and abilities. Our Career Services Office will help you gain experience and prepare for life in the real world. And the close friendships you make throughout the Capital community — from your roommate or resident assistant all the way up to president Bowman — will give you a college experience to remember.

"You come for the education, but the experiences — personally and professionally — are what make Capital stand out."
