Computer Science

Capital's location in the thriving capital city of Columbus allows students to take advantage of opportunities to intern or work part-time in any number of business, research, or tech companies and organizations. Our students have participated in internship programs with larger companies including: Battelle, Nationwide Insurance, and OCLC, as well as smaller companies and startups located in the Columbus area. Capital students also have options for hands-on, people-facing experiences by working as tutors for computer science introductory courses or serving as student assistants in the university’s Information Technology Department.

At Capital, our strength is the combination of a strong foundation of computer science education and the development of specialized skills needed for success in the industry. But beyond that, our emphasis on a liberal arts core gives our students opportunities to take courses that help them think critically, communicate effectively, adapt to change, and work collaboratively with people and consider ideas from a wide range of perspectives. Employers who recruit our graduates have identified this unique combination as something that sets Capital graduates apart from others.

Our graduates work in a wide range of industries and for a number of quality organizations such as American Electric Power, Apple, Battelle, Cardinal Health, Microsoft, Nationwide Insurance, the Ohio Arts Council, Twitter, and Willow Tree.
