The application deadline for the Jan 2027 intake is Dec 15, 2026. Tuition is Tuition rates are subject to change. Full-time students are promised their tuition will not increase more than 1% per year for four years..

This programme is designed for students seeking a career in electrical engineering with a focus on practical design and real-world applications. It covers circuit design, digital signal processing, microcontrollers, and communication systems. Students engage in hands-on learning through labs and team-based projects. The curriculum emphasizes engineering design over research.

Focus areas include telecommunications, digital signal processing, integrated circuit design, control theory.

The programme requires 120 credits, including coursework in electrical engineering, mathematics, sciences, English, and social sciences. A capstone project is required for graduation, involving the design, building, and testing of a working prototype.

Graduates enter roles such as electrical engineer, design engineer, integration engineer, project engineer, research engineer, applications engineer, and systems engineer.

Applicants must have a high school diploma or equivalent. Minimum GPA and standardized test scores are not specified. Required documents include official transcripts and a completed application.

The programme totals about 120 credit hours. On-campus, full-time or part-time; typical duration is four years. For international students, tuition is around the median for US programmes. The institution admits about 78% of applicants.

Capitol Technology University began in Washington, D.C., in 1927 as the Capitol Radio Engineering Institute, founded by Navy veteran and radio operator Eugene H. Rietzke. It started as a correspondence school before opening a residence division with laboratory instruction in 1932. The institution later became Capitol Institute of Technology, moved to Kensington in 1969, and established its campus in Laurel in 1980. The name changed to Capitol College in the late 1980s and to Capitol Technology University in 2014.

Academic strengths center on technology and applied learning. Programs cover cybersecurity, cyberpsychology, computer science, data science, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, engineering, aerospace and astronautical engineering, aviation, healthcare, construction and safety, management of technology, and intelligence and global security. The university launched a master's program in network security in 2001, followed by the nation's first synchronously online master's degree in cybersecurity. Its doctoral programs include information assurance and management and decision sciences.

The Laurel campus includes academic facilities, laboratories, the Space Operations Institute, the Cyber Battle Lab, the John G. and Beverly A. Puente Library, and the Avrum Gudelsky Memorial Auditorium. A partnership with NASA supports astronautical engineering programs and practical training. Online study is a significant part of the university's offering, with doctoral students accepted from across the globe. Its location in the Washington, D.C. region places students close to government agencies, corporate partners, and a major technology employment market.
