In the latter half of the program, students will be required to participate in a one-week international trip to London led by a Capitol Technology University instructor who will facilitate regional industry experts to provide presentations (flight, hotel, transportation, and food for the international trip are not included in the tuition). At the end of the program, students will be expected to use their acquired skills to complete a major capstone project and provide an individual presentation to rest of the class.
