[QUOTE="Ferendon, post: 6167205, member: 578259"] DO NOT GO TO ITT TECH. I wasted 2 years and $33k at that shit hole. I went there back when they had "guaranteed job placement" and "transferable credits". Notice how they no longer promise the job placement, and "Some credits may not be transferable" has become "Credits earned are unlikely to transfer"? That's due to the multitude of law suits for all the non-sensical bullshit they were promising back in 2002 when I took the plunge. I have an AAS in Computer Network Systems from ITT, and I lost out on many a job due to people who were "more qualified", as in they has less experience but they had the same degree from a better school. I lost out on a job to a Remington graduate, simply because of where he got his degree. The same employer that passed me up for that guy even told me it was because of where I got my degree from. He told me that if I wanted to ever be taken seriously, that I needed to go elsewhere and get a new degree. I called lots of schools and 13% of my credits were transferable, at best. And very few of their campuses have a BA program, so don't let them tell you that you can get your BA at any time. Make sure that the campus you're at has a BA program in house. They told me I could, but the nearest ITT with a BA program was 2 states away... They didn't mention that. And 90% of the jobs on the job board had NOTHING to do with any of the fields that taught.
