ITU connects graduate students with Silicon ValleyBeing in the right place at the right time has never before been so critical. With world-class faculty and thriving, innovative companies like Cisco and Google, International Technological University (ITU) puts you in a unique position. In the epicenter of Silicon Valley, the mother of cutting-edge technology, anything is possible.

Take your pick – Computer Science, MBA, Engineering, Management, Digital Arts, or Electrical Engineering.  If you’ve wanted to move to the next level while improving your English business skills, ITU has the tools to get you there.

With Adobe, Apple and Microsoft within reach, industry professionals gravitate to Silicon Valley. ITU aims to prepare students to work at companies like these. You can earn a degree in Digital Arts with Cedrick Chan who works as a visual effects artist for Hollywood movies such as Star Wars. You can develop the newest mobile applications under the mentorship of app development guru Dr Barbara Hecker. Business courses are taught keeping the high-tech industry in mind, with regular workshops on Six Sigma and intellectual property.

As per computer science professor Dr Cornel Pokorny, “The best part about teaching at ITU is that the university gives me freedom to promote the latest tools in technology, such as Ruby on Rails. At other universities, it would take as long as three years to be granted clearance.” The Student Services Center provides career services to closely support students in job and internship placement.  As a result, almost all ITU students are working in the industry. This flexibility and a concern for students’ career success are other hallmarks of an ITU education.

ITU recently launched its Global Executive MBA. This GEMBA program takes place at the San Jose campus and tuition includes a 10-day study tour to China where students will have the opportunity to visit major business centers.

The university sets itself apart in its innovative and global approach, and further differentiates itself in its flexibility, affordability and convenience. So, get ready to take the first step towards earning your graduate degree!
