Campus of the Future

On the Capitol Campus, the world’s best students and faculty come together across disciplines to teach and learn, innovate and research, and forge solutions, just steps away from the institutions and leaders shaping the country and the world.

The Future of Education

The Capitol Campus is innovating a model of higher education that’s aligned with the learning styles of today’s students and focused on empowering students to tackle real-world problems.

Located steps from the nation’s center of influence, the campus puts students at the heart of the most important conversations taking place today. This is a place to listen and learn, exchange ideas and contribute to solutions for society’s challenges.

The city is an extended classroom for Capitol Campus students. From class trips to Capitol Hill to speak with policymakers, to valuable internships, solutions-focused research, legal clinics and student-run consultancies, students learn through experience.

Because solving today’s complex issues requires multidisciplinary thinking, the Capitol Campus empowers collaboration across fields of study. Students learn to work together in interdisciplinary teams and integrate multiple lenses.
