Indiana Institute of Technology is a private university in Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States. It was founded in 1930 as Indiana Technical College by John A. Kalbfleisch, who was also the school's first president. The university is organized into three colleges and specializes in career-oriented degree programs in business, engineering, computer science, education, criminal justice, and others. In addition to the traditional semester-long class format, Indiana Tech also offers accelerated degree programs and online programs via its College of Professional Studies.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 31% graduation rate and 66% freshman retention rate suggest many students struggle to finish, which is a real concern worth discussing before enrolling. That said, the median debt at graduation is a notably low $12,564, and for students focused on engineering, computer science, or business in the Fort Wayne area, the career-oriented programs can provide a practical path to the $49,400 median earnings. Worth considering if you have a clear major in mind and a solid support plan — but ask hard questions about what resources are in place to help students stay on track.
