ITT Technical Institute Receives State License

ITT Educational Services, Inc., a leading proprietary provider of technology-oriented postsecondary degree programs, has received approval from the State Council of Higher Education for a new start-up college in Chesterfield County.

Classes are scheduled to begin in December 1998. The Chesterfield campus is located at 300 Gateway Center Parkway. It will be the second ITT Technical Institute in Virginia. “We are delighted that ITT Educational Services, Inc. chose Chesterfield County for its new campus,” said Jim Dunn, Assistant Director of the Chesterfield County Department of Economic Development. “The new ITT Technical Institute will help support our efforts to develop a cluster of high-tech companies in the Richmond area, because a primary need of these companies is skilled workers. We think the new ITT Technical Institute will be of long-range importance to Chesterfield County, because it can help provide a high-tech infrastructure here.”

The Chesterfield campus offers a two-year Associate of Applied Science degree program in Electronics Engineering Technology. Additional programs of study will be added in the future depending on market demand.
