History



The Indiana Institute of Technology was founded as Indiana Technical College in 1930 as a for-profit private technical college by John A. Kalbfleisch, a former president of Indiana Business College, a for-profit business school. Indiana Tech was formally incorporated in 1931 and opened for classes that same year. The school was rechartered in August 1948 as a non-profit, endowed college.
In 1953, Indiana Tech purchased the 20-acre (8.1 ha) campus of Concordia College, east of downtown Fort Wayne, from the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod as that school was being replaced by Concordia Senior College in a new suburban location north of the city. In 1963, Indiana Tech's name was changed from Indiana Technical College to Indiana Institute of Technology.




Academics


Indiana Tech offers associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees.
Indiana Tech is organized into the following colleges:

Indiana Tech Law School began classes in the Fall semester of 2013. The American Bar Association (ABA) granted provisional accreditation to Indiana Tech Law School as of March 12, 2016. Indiana Tech had to maintain provisional accreditation for a minimum of two years prior to seeking full ABA accreditation. However, due to the stated loss of nearly $20 million in operating losses with anticipated higher losses in the future, the Indiana Tech Board of Trustees voted unanimously to cease operation of the law school effective June 30, 2017.
