Choose your adventure with Capitol's newest doctoral degree program! Our PhD in Technology is designed to be flexible, enabling students to select their own focus areas for academic research across a variety of technology fields. We'll connect you with subject matter experts and provide the academic support you need as you develop your research project. Don't have a master's degree? Through our Combination Program, you can earn your master's credentials and then move forward to the doctoral degree.

Also this month: cheer on Capitol students as they bring the Cactus-1 satellite mission into its final stages before delivery. Their project is innovative in multiple ways: it tests a promising approach to capturing space debris and includes an experiment using new methods of satellite command/control. And it's the first CubeSat mission to pair two satellites together, with two distinct payloads. We're excited for our Cactus-1 student team and we hope you will be too. They're making history!

"There is a great deal of discussion today about the importance of teaching technology, but a crucial part of the discussion is about how technology is taught," says Professor Soren Ashmall. Learn about some of the strategies he uses in an interview with this dynamic member of Capitol's faculty, who also plays a key role in the development of new programs at the university.

Finally, don't forget to pay a virtual visit to the Capitol store for your spiritwear needs! Through February 26, the store is offering 15% off Capitol polo shirts. Check them out!
