Capitol Technology University Earnings: $104K (2026)

How much do Capitol Technology University graduates earn?

The reported median is $104,028 four years after completion. The peer comparison uses $55,915 as its benchmark; the difference is $48,113 per year.

Federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $104,028 four years after completion. That places earnings in the 97th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

The figure stands $48,113 above the $55,915 median for comparable institutions (same type and size). Graduates earn about $31,692 more than expects for similar students.

That result falls at the 99th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. The return is in the 97th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

The part the model attributes to the factors it measures (field of study, enrollment and the local labor market) adds $4,605. The part it attributes to a remainder it does not explain adds $27,087. Within the measured factors, the STEM component adds $13,594.

The earnings scenarios estimated from the program mix are tightly grouped: a downside of $85,063, a typical scenario of $104,028, and an upside of $104,208. These are scenarios, not observed groups of graduates.

The university's degrees are concentrated in two technical families: Computer & Information Sciences accounts for 66.0% of bachelor's degrees awarded, and Engineering accounts for 34.0%.

An estimated 16.3% of graduates continue to graduate study, a figure estimated from the program mix rather than observed enrollment. Because four-year earnings cover completers who are working and not enrolled, those continuing their education are outside that earnings snapshot.

Downside shows a lower-earning scenario based on the college’s mix of programs; upside shows a higher-earning scenario. Typical is the school’s reported median four years after completion. These are planning scenarios, not a forecast of your salary or percentiles of individual graduates.

Why the downside matters explores the risk hidden by medians, using older ten-year entrant data. Read about the move to four-year earnings.

Do Capitol Technology University graduates earn more than expected?

Azimuth models what we would expect graduates to earn based on who the college enrolls, how selective it is and its local economy. The difference between that expectation and reported earnings is what Azimuth calls value added.

Capitol Technology University graduates’ reported earnings are $31,692 above that expectation, the 99th percentile for this measure. Unlike a peer comparison, it adjusts for who enrolls.

The breakdown separates the contribution attributed to observed factors from the remaining difference. Neither component establishes how much attending Capitol Technology University caused a student to earn. Read how expected earnings are estimated.

Which fields at Capitol Technology University report the highest earnings?

Capitol Technology University is a focused technical institution: 92.2% of bachelor's degrees are in STEM fields. The degree mix is concentrated in two families, with Computer & Information Sciences accounting for 66.0% of degrees awarded and Engineering making up the remaining 34.0%.

The program mix is narrow, and the earnings scenarios estimated from that mix show a tight range. A student choosing among programs here is choosing within a band where earnings four years out are consistently high, rather than trading off between a high-earning and a moderate-earning path.

Computer & Information Sciences accounts for 66.0% of bachelor's degrees awarded, and Engineering makes up the remaining 34.0%. The university's degrees are concentrated in technical fields.

The page does not carry program-level earnings or ranks for this school. A reader weighing a specific major should compare the two families' broad earnings profiles on the program pages.

The largest program families are Computer & Information Sciences at 66.0% of degrees awarded and Engineering at 34.0%.

Further analysis

Earnings scenarios estimated from the program mix show a downside of $85,063, a typical outcome of $104,028, and an upside of $104,208. The tight spread between the typical and upside scenarios reflects a curriculum concentrated in high-earning technical fields.

Four years after completing a degree, federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled earn a median of $104,028 at Capitol Technology University. That is $48,113 above the median for comparable institutions (same type and size), which is $55,915.

That figure falls in the 97th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions, using an earnings cohort of 121 completers. Graduates earn about $31,692 more than the model expects for similar students.

The gap lands at the 99th percentile. Estimated from the program mix, the earnings scenarios run from $85,063 on the downside to $104,208 on the upside, with the typical scenario matching the observed median.

An estimated 16.3% of graduates continue to graduate study, based on the program mix.
