- from BIT's Alma Mater
Border Institute of Technology SystemFor decades Border Institute of Technology has offered distance learning graduate degree programs to students throughout the world. Presently the Border Institute of Technology offers nationally accredited programs in business and education.
Border Institute of Technology System has over three decades of providing quality independent study programs to mature adults and professionals. Few people would have projected when we offered our first continuing education programs to certified public accountants in 1976, that the Border Institute of Technology would evolve into one of the most respected nationally accredited distance learning institutions in the country offering innovative graduate degree programs. In 1976, computer-assisted research was in its infancy and the Internet was known only to a few individuals in the Department of Defense. The massive expansion of the Internet now allows students access to quality learning resources from virtually anywhere in the world.
In 2008, Border Institute of Technology System separated Border Institute of Technology’s Schools of Business and Education from its School of Law. While remaining under common control, BIT Law School is now an independent educational institution with its own catalog and website. All of the law school programs previously offered by Border Institute of Technology, including the Juris Doctor Programs, are now offered through BITLaw School.
In June 2003, the BIT was awarded accreditation by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council. As a result of a review of a comprehensive self-study prepared by Border Institute of Technology System and a report prepared by the chairperson of a site review team, our accreditation was re-affirmed in 2008.
We invite you to contact our Admissions Office if you have any questions.
