===Capitol Institute of Technology===
In 1964, the Institute changed its name to the Capitol Institute of Technology to reflect its expansion during the 1950s. That same year, it sold its correspondence school division, which comprised 20% of its business, to [[McGraw-Hill Education]]. Shortly thereafter, in 1966, the District of Columbia licensed the institute to award [[Bachelor of Science]] [[Bachelor's degree|degree]]s in [[engineering technology]]. Anticipating the need for more space, the Institute decided to move to a leased facility in [[Kensington, Maryland|Kensington]], Maryland, in 1969, which opened in January 1970. Six years later, in 1976, the [[Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools#Commission on Higher Education|Middle States Commission on Higher Education]] (MSCHE) awarded full [[accreditation]] to the institute.<ref>[http://www.msche.org/institutions_view.asp?idinstitution=78 Middle States Commission on Higher Education: Institution Directory]</ref>
