International Technological University (ITU) is an unaccredited private university in the State of California. International Technological University is not accredited by any recognized accreditation organization. The ACICS terminated ITU's accreditation in 2004. Some of ITU's programs are approved by the California Department of Consumer Affairs Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE). The enrollment practices of ITU have been compared to the recently closed Tri-Valley University. The Chronicle of Higher Education states that ITU, like Tri-Valley, enrolls Indian students who are interested in working full-time in "internships." ITU offers graduate degree programs at the master level in Computer Engineering (CE), Electrical Engineering (EE), Software Engineering (SE), and a Master’s of Business Administration in International Business Management (M.B.A.). It is important for prospective students to know that most of these degrees are not approved by the California Bureau of Private Postgraduate Education (BPPE). In particular, none of the PhD degrees are approved by BPPE.
