Get Curious. Stay Curious.
Capital’s approach to building critical thinking and practical skills encourages students to ask the big questions. Questions that’ll get you ready for anything and everything. Questions that help you experience the world and find your place in it. The future belongs to the curious. And at Capital University, the future belongs to you.
Ask a million questions. And a million more.
We’ve built on nearly two centuries of values-based academic excellence to help you develop the professional skillset, intellectual curiosity, and self-confidence to take on anything and everything in your career and life.
Choose from 64 majors and 50+ minors to create your own learning experience. In addition to classroom study, you’ll put your learning into practice through internships, field experiences, student-led research, and study abroad opportunities. You’ll find space to ask big questions—as many as it takes to discover who you are and who you’re meant to become.
At Capital, learning is personal. Our faculty are experts in their fields and committed to your personal success. You’ll have an academic advisor who will mentor and guide you throughout your full college experience, for learning and support that goes way beyond the classroom.
