Laurel, MD—A ten-year study of college students in Maryland shows that at every academic level, Capitol Technology University graduates earn higher salaries than students from all other Maryland colleges and universities.
The study, conducted by the Maryland Longitudinal Data System Center (MLDSC) and published on the College Labor Sector and Wage Explorer (MD-CLaWE) identifies Maryland workforce participation and wages for Maryland college graduates who work in the state.
According to the data, average annual earnings for Capitol Tech grads in Maryland were:

Capitol Tech's signature Capitol Commitment, which guarantees that undergraduates will receive a job offer of at least $60,000 within 90 days of commencement, is a further reflection of the confidence the university places in the value of its degree programs.
