Elmhurst College Reaches Out to Displaced ITT Tech Students

Submitted by Elmhurst College.

ELMHURST, IL — In an effort to assist some of the 35,000 students left in limbo by the abrupt closing of ITT Technical Institute, Elmhurst College is working with former ITT students to help them complete their degrees at Elmhurst.

After ITT Tech closed its doors and declared bankruptcy earlier this fall, Elmhurst College reviewed ITT’s curricular offerings and developed a plan to help eligible adult students (24+ years in age) transfer their credits and complete their degree in Information Technology at Elmhurst.

“We’re delighted to offer this opportunity to qualified ITT students, whose lives and educational paths have been upended through no fault of their own,” said Timothy Ricordati, dean of the School for Professional Studies at Elmhurst College. “As a top-ranked higher education institution that has put students first for more than 145 years, Elmhurst College is ready to advise and help these students however we can—and we’re not going anywhere.”

According to U.S. News & World Report, Elmhurst College ranks 10th in the Midwest in the Best Regional Universities category, and fourth in the Midwest among colleges and universities that offer the best value for the money. Elmhurst also ranks as a Top 10 Best College for Veterans, and has been designated a Military Friendly® School.

Elmhurst College’s Information Technology program prepares students for a variety of careers in the IT industry, and is offered in a number of flexible formats, including on campus, online or both.
