College and University Partnerships

As Washington DC’s premier STEM university with career and salary outcomes proven to outpace other schools at every level, Capitol Tech is uniquely positioned to provide students with a launch pad to a better life.

That’s why community colleges, technical schools, and other universities are eager to partner with Capitol Tech and provide a streamlined pathway for students to continue their undergraduate education and expand their career opportunities.

These relationships also open doors to hands-on learning experiences and internships with Capitol Tech’s expert faculty and network—all in America’s most technologically advanced government agencies and private-sector supply chain—that can’t be duplicated anywhere else.

We’ve formed strong partnerships in our own backyard, across the country, and around the world. Each pathway meets a unique set of student needs, but they are all are built on the same belief: that every student deserve s the same opportunities and access to career success as they work to pursue their dreams.

Capitol is always searching for innovative ways to increase access to the high-level, in-demand degrees offered by our University.

—Dr. Bradford Sims, President, Capitol Technology University

Case Study: Strengthening National Security Through a Strong Partnership

Capitol Technology University & The NSA National Cryptologic University

Since 1927, Capitol Tech has consistently supported the education and training needs of federal agencies and the military. The National Cryptologic University within the National Security Agency (NSA) provides education and training for its employees in national security specialities including foreign language, cryptology, and cyber security. Our partnership agreement enables NSA employees to apply a substantial amount of their NSA coursework towards bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees at Capitol Tech.

This agreement with Capitol significantly expands the ability for our civilian and military workforce to leverage NSA courses for college credit through the innovative Accelerated Degree program and is a major win-win for the Agency and the nation.
