ITT Educational Services, Inc. is a leading private college system focused on technology-oriented programs of study. It operates over 100 ITT Technical Institutes in more than 30 states which predominantly provide career-focused, degree programs to approximately 54,000 students. Headquartered in Carmel, Indiana, it has been actively involved in the higher education community in the United States since 1969.
The six schools at the ITT Technical Institutes [School of Information Technology, School of Drafting and Design, School of Electronics Technology, School of Business, School of Criminal Justice, and School of Health Sciences] teach skills and knowledge that can be used to begin careers in our global technology-driven culture.
Most ITT Technical Institute programs of study blend traditional academic content with applied learning concepts, with a significant portion devoted to practical study in a lab environment. Advisory committees, comprised of representatives of local businesses and employers, help each ITT Technical Institute periodically assess and update curricula, equipment and laboratory design.
The ITT Technical Institute in Indianapolis, IN offers several programs online, including an online MBA program and bachelor and associate degree programs in the areas of business, technology, and criminal justice.

ITT Technical Institute (often shortened to ITT Tech) is a private, for-profit, technical institute with 100 campuses in more than 34 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. , a publicly traded company.
ITT Tech is nationally accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools. It does not have regional accreditation; thus, most regionally accredited or traditional universities and colleges do not accept ITT Tech's credits for transfer and do not recognize its undergraduate degrees for entry into graduate programs.
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 Associates, Bachelors (all but health), or Masters (business-only) degrees. Graduates might be specialized in architectural design, visual communications, programming, engineering and information technology.
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.
On February 25, 2004, federal agents, pursuant to subpoenas issued by a Houston U.S. District Court raided the company's headquarters and 10 of its campuses seeking data on student placement, retention, attendance and grades, recruitment and admissions, graduate salaries, and transfers of credits to other schools. No charges were filed, and "no conclusions should be drawn from today's activity". The investigation negatively affected the company's stock and triggered several class action lawsuits by investors. The lawsuits alleged that ITT misrepresented its financial health and failed to disclose numerous deficiencies in order to artificially inflate its reported operational and financial performance."
