ITT Technical Institute (often shortened to ITT Tech) is a private, for-profit, technical institute with 100 campuses in 35 states of the United States. It was founded in 1946 as Educational Services, Inc. and has been headquartered in Carmel, Indiana, since 1969. ITT Tech is owned and operated by ITT Educational Services Inc. (NYSE: ESI), a publicly traded company.
Accreditation
ITT Tech is nationally accreditedby the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools; it does not have regional accreditation, though individual campuses may.
Courses of study
ITT Tech offers programs specialized in information technology, electronics, drafting and design, criminal justice, health sciences, and business administration.
Students of ITT Tech may pursue associate's, bachelor's (all but health), or master's (business-only) degrees. Graduates might be specialized in architectural design, visual communications, programming, engineering and information technology.
ITT, the business
From 1965 until its IPO in 1994, ITT Tech was a wholly owned subsidiary of ITT Corporation (as "ITT/ESI"). By 1999, ITT Corp. (which had merged with Starwood the year before) divested itself completely of ITT Tech's shares but the schools still use the "ITT" name under license.
Controversy
ITT Technical Institute has been involved in several controversies over its business and academic practices.
August 1998, 15 former students alleged misrepresentation, fraud and concealment by ITT arising out of their recruitment and education at ITT campuses. In September 1998, ITT settled all of the claims of the 15 claimants.
The company's representations about its financial status were questioned in class-action lawsuits filed by investors in 2004. That action followed raids authorized by subpoenas from a U. S. District Court in Houston, Texas aimed at gathering documents from ITT's corporate headquarters and 10 campuses.
The school's academic practices were again questioned in a 2005 California lawsuit which was settled after the company agreed to pay $725,000 to a group of employees who claimed they were pressured to inflate student grades in order to help them qualify for state financial aid.
