Current Students

ITU students have access to an unparalleled educational experience in which theory is married with application-oriented practice. ITU’s educational program is effective due to how well it can be directly applied to present industrial demands. During your career as a student at ITU, you will be challenged to grow academically, intellectually, and professionally.

One unique feature of the ITU educational experience is the e-portfolio each student is expected to maintain while studying here. These electronic portfolios consist of video clips that capture progress in your presentation ability, standard written and video resumes, education and employment history, references and CSLO essays for all of your courses. CSLO (course student learning outcomes) essays give you the opportunity to articulate in your own words how you have met the objectives for each course you have taken. We believe that ITU students have a competitive advantage in the job market by having well-rounded, electronically available portfolios like these.

Curricular practical training (CPT) is another integral part of ITU’s educational program. CPT provides students with an opportunity to do an internship related to their field of study from the first trimester onward, to help students gain valuable industry experiences. Student internships have ranged from business analyst positions to those in electrical engineering at highly sought after firms like Cisco Systems Inc., Lockheed Martin and Sun Microsystems.

Another outstanding feature of the ITU educational program is the Weekly Joint Seminar required of all students at our Silicon Valley campus. This seminar is designed to enrich students’ courses to ensure they achieve the expected expertise level that will be required of them in their fields of study by the time they graduate. Guest speakers from diverse industries provide lectures on current global business, engineering and political trends. This program provides students the opportunity to meet often very famous speakers, gain insight into the business industry, form connections and establish a viable network for future career endeavors.
