The Future of Technology Starts with Capitol Technology University Students: Master's Edition

As discussed in the bachelor's edition of this series, there is no denying the future role of technology and its importance. As an accredited institution located just outside of Washington D.C., Capitol Tech has made educating students to become the next STEM leaders its mission since 1927. Capitol Tech offers practical courses taught by industry experts so students can graduate with a bachelor's , master’s, or doctoral degree and gain the experience necessary to seamlessly enter the most technologically advanced government agencies and companies.

At the master's level, many college graduates struggle to find meaningful work with their degrees, but graduates of Capitol Tech's programs, which provide real-world experience, are sought-after and in-demand.

“I recruit from Capitol Tech for many reasons–Capitol Tech students typically possess better teaming and collaboration skills. Their technical skills also are better as each class has a "hands-on" component to them,” said Tom Beall, a Senior Manager at Motorola Solutions. “The continual exposure to “hands-on” allows Capitol Tech students a safe environment to take risks and experience failures. Many graduates from other institutions with fewer hands-on opportunities seem to be more risk-averse.”

Capitol Tech was ranked #1 of the 2020 top 10 Best Master’s Online Programs by Master’s Programs Guide. The Guide highlights the benefits offered including access to “great knowledge from experienced and highly respected professors who can share their skills” and field experience with students. Each of Capitol Tech’s 13 master’s programs are available online to accommodate students’ schedules, including the many who return to complete a master’s degree while they maintain a full-time job and other obligations. Capitol Tech is committed to providing the support necessary for master’s students to successfully reach graduation.

“With my Capitol Tech MBA I was able to realize a career goal and land my dream job in New York City,” said Ted V., MBA 2019, Corporate Treasury Funding Trader for a top 10 European bank. “During my graduate studies I experienced moving, marriage, and loss. Capitol’s Graduate Advisors, and specifically Mr. William Drayton, provided all of the support that I needed and some that I did not yet know I needed.”

Capitol Tech provides an environment where STEM-focused students of any age or background can reach their full potential by learning from industry experts.
