Capitol Technology University was founded in Washington, DC, as the Capitol Radio Engineering Institute in 1927 by Eugene H. Rietzke. A Navy veteran and radio operator, Rietzke foresaw the need for an advanced school that could produce talented radio and electronics technicians. CREI began as a correspondence school, but its popularity led to the 1932 opening of a residence division allowing students to work for hands-on in laboratories. As radio technology improved, new training programs and courses were quickly added. Following World War II, CREI became one of the first three technical institutes accredited by the Engineers' Council for Professional Development. The institute entered a new era in the mid-1950s when it began awarding three-year AAS degrees. The school expanded its reach to new programs in applied engineering and electronics. To reflect this evolution, the institute changed its name to the Capital Institute of Technology in 1964. It awarded its first bachelor of science degrees in 1966 to four graduates of its electronics engineering technology program. Anticipating the need for more room, Capitol relocated in 1969 to a leased space in Kensington, Maryland. In 2010, Capitol launched its first doctoral program in college's history. The doctorate in information assurance was designed to prepare students for leadership roles in the burgeoning field of cybersecurity. Offered almost exclusively online, much like Capitol's master's degrees, Capitol has accepted doctoral students from across the globe. The university added its second doctoral program, in management and decision sciences, in 2014. Capitol currently offers three associate degrees, 12 bachelor's degrees, six master's degrees, and two doctorates. Capitol currently offers five doctoral programs, including a combination master of science and a Ph.D. program. These programs support the development of high-level critical thinking, leadership, and technical skills, and contribute innovative and practical doctoral research to student's chosen body of knowledge. Choose from eight master's degree programs to expand your knowledge and advance in your career. Programs are accelerated, with eight-week as well as 16-week courses, offered exclusively online. The courses combine the convenience of online learning with the stimulation of classroom experience. Capitol is the only independent college in Maryland dedicated to engineering, computer science, information technology, and business. These are four-year programs leading to a college diploma and a promising job in a high-technology field or business. We offer three associate degrees that can be completed in two years. You can enter the workforce with this degree or continue your education by applying the credits to a bachelor's degree. Choose the program that matches your interests. We offer more than 20 certificates, each approximately 12-credits per certificate. Earning one of these certificates can help you keep your skills current, advance your career, or change your workplace role. Today Capitol is the only independent university in Maryland specializing in providing relevant education in engineering, business, and related fields. It takes pride in its proven record of placing graduates in competitive careers with higher salaries than the industry average. While innovations spur new developments and industries, the foundations taught at Capitol Technology University – thinking critically, actively, and creatively – will remain. As it looks to the future, Capitol Technology University remains committed to providing students with quality education and the relevant experience to excel in a changing world.
