“We are excited to expand opportunities for our students through this partnership with Capitol Technology University,” said Dr. Dawn Lindsay, AACC president. “These new transfer pathways reflect our shared commitment to student success while providing a clear and affordable route to a four-year degree and sought-after careers in computer science and cybersecurity.”

To support students throughout the process, AACC's academic advisors will collaborate closely with students to develop comprehensive academic plans early in their college journey and prior to transfer. Capitol Tech will also provide students with advising tools, resources and dedicated support to help them successfully navigate their path to a bachelor’s degree.
