Why Capital?

We call it the Capital Effect: the end result of a guided journey to tomorrow, to personal accomplishment and professional fulfillment. To transforming yourself, your community, and your world. Today, you take your first step toward Capital. Tomorrow, you’ll be prepared to go wherever you want your path to take you. 

And getting there is half the fun. 

At Capital University, you will find yourself in a safe and energetic learning environment that challenges you to think, to question and to create. You’ll encounter people from different walks with points of view you’ve never considered. And you’ll be strengthened by them. Because even though dreams and goals may differ, you’ll become part of a community connected by its deep passion to explore and understand differences, to right wrongs, solve problems and make a difference.

At your side will be professors who are every bit as dedicated to your ultimate success as you are. You can expect to receive more than just subject matter knowledge; your professors will help you understand and refine your values and empower you to use them to make a difference in the world. They will instill in you confidence and a sense of purpose, and push you to think critically, reason logically and communicate clearly. Finally, they will guide you through the process of networking and developing the professional savvy that will give you a competitive edge for your real-world success.

But learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom; it happens on campus and in the community too. You’ll find that our picturesque campus is your home away from home and an array of activities—both on campus and off—will round out your work in the lecture hall and lab. Whether you’re into athletics, religious, cultural or service organizations, pre-professional groups or Greek life, you’ll find your place at Capital.  And it will become as much a part of you as you are of it.
