Dear Students, Alumni, Instructors and Community members,


Thank you for your interest in Capital University.

On June 30, 2006, Capital University announced its plans to close The New Center, our adult education campus located at 215 N. Front St. This decision will allow the university to focus its resources on its core mission. The decision to close this campus impacts the Professional Development Program, Custom Programs and room rentals. It also means that the MBA program and the Court Reporting Certificate Program will be moving.

With the closing of The Professional Development Program, all open enrollment courses scheduled for fall 2006 have been canceled.

Committed to the principles of lifelong learning, Capital will continue to offer adults in Central Ohio high-quality educational options. Starting in September 2006, the MBA program will resume classes with the same dedicated faculty and rigorous curriculum at Capital’s main campus in Bexley. For more information about the Capital MBA program, please call Associate Dean Dr. Sharon Peck at (614) 236-6652, visit http://business.capital.edu or e-mail mba@capital.edu .

Capital University’s Court Reporting Certificate program continues to grow and will relocate in September 2006 to the Law School, 303 E. Broad St. For more information about court reporting, please call Mary Ming at (614) 236-6783.

Community members interested in renting high-quality meeting space in downtown Columbus may contact Mark Henson of SparkSpace. SparkSpace is located in the Arena District and may be reached at (614) 224-7727.

The staff at The New Center is proud to have helped more than 500 area professionals gain new skills and advance their careers. It has been our honor to serve the Columbus community.
