National Online Learning Day
September 15, 2020September 15 is National Online Learning Day. The first online high school, CompuHigh, was established in 1994. Capitol Tech first offered online courses, just a few years later in 1997. Since then, the prevalence of online classes has expanded greatly – both at the university and world-wide.
Always at the forefront of technology, Capitol Tech started offering master’s degrees online in 2001, with an online MBA introduced in 2003. In 2010, a doctorate in information assurance was added to the university’s roster of degrees and was offered almost entirely online.
Capitol Tech now offers seven bachelor’s degrees, thirteen master’s degrees (including two technical MBAs), and sixteen doctoral degrees with an online component. An additional two bachelor’s degrees are available with the last two years fully online. All of Capitol Tech’s master’s degrees are offered entirely online.
Most doctoral degrees are also offered fully online, with cybersecurity (DSc) and business and decision sciences (PhD) are primarily online, with an annual residency during which you will work with Capitol faculty members to shape your research ideas into a finished project.
The university offers online degrees in a variety of fields, with a level of subject matter expertise not often found at other online educational institutions. These fields of study include analytics and data science; aviation and unmanned systems; construction, facilities, and safety; security, intelligence, and critical infrastructure; and cyber and information security.
