ITT Technical Institute- Harrisburg
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaITT Technical Institute (often shortened to ITT Tech) is a private, for-profit, technical institute with 105 campuses in 37 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 Educational Services, Inc. (ESI) was spun off by ITT Corporation through an initial public offering in 1994, with parent company ITT as an 83% shareholder.
Accreditation
ITT Tech is nationally accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools.
Courses of study
ITT Tech offers programs specialized in Information Technology, Computer Electronics, drafting and Design, Criminal Justice, Health Sciences, and Business Administration.
Students of ITT Tech may pursue Associate's degree AAS, bachelor's BS (all but health), or master's (business-only, online) degrees. Graduates might be specialized in architectural design, civil and mechanical drafting, visual communications, graphic design and animation, programming and networking, computer engineering, electronics 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.
In 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.
