Do I want to attend a large university, or a small one? One that's close to home, or far from the familiar? A school that's isolated, or in a big city?

Indiana Tech is a little of all these things. And we think that makes IT special.

We’re an established institution in a thriving mid-size city. We’re small compared to state schools, but loaded with the things students love about bigger universities, like amazing faculty, modern facilities and competitive sports. We have all the advantages of a private university, at a cost that’s surprisingly affordable. And, we boast a diverse, highly engaged student body that takes full advantage of it all.

INDIANA TECH PAGE 01

What we mean by Go For IT.

TECH is the practical application of knowledge. It transforms everything we learn into everything we’re capable of doing.

Tech is not a specific industry, nor a modern invention. It goes by many names. Sometimes it’s accounting. Or criminal justice. Or baseball. You find it in the economy—and in the arts. It’s our history and our future.

When you get down to it, Tech is everything.

So while some see a pitcher with a rocket for an arm, we see an athlete who’s also a computer scientist aiming for the stars. While some see a first-year business major, we know that behind the spreadsheets there’s an artist working toward realizing a vision.

Every day at Indiana Tech, we help students pull that distant dream into broad daylight where they can see IT, try IT and grasp IT for themselves.

Everyone deserves that chance. We’ll help you make it happen here.

All you have to do now is Go For IT.
