Great University, I wish I knew about their program while working for HP and Motorola. Great programs for Master's and Ph.D, experienced faculty from the silicon valley companies, small classes, and most important lectures are outside the working hours. Finally access to faculty and staff from the President, faculty, all the way to other students. I highly recommend ITU.edu read more

The students are top rate and the faculty are seasoned industry professionals teaching what they do. ITU is a very unique chance for real world and practical education so that students can advance in their careers and other life opportunities. read more

When I first began searching for schools with a Masters's program in Cyber Security the International Technological University (ITU) https://itu.edu/ quickly became the school of my choice. I enjoy learning from the professors. Great job ITU. read more

I was a student there during the administrative transition they went through. While I have to admit that the old administration was probably the most unprofessional and rude that I've ever had to deal with, things improved drastically in the past years. I recently completed my Master's degree there and I have to say that the faculty members were extremely professional and had some really impressive backgrounds (major Silicon Valley Tech companies). I honestly never thought I'd say that, but I do recommend ITU and I can say that I learned way more than I could ever imagine there. read more

I just graduated summer of 2013 from International Technological University with an MBA in Healthcare Management. My overall experience had been very positive and have learnt various different things. The content of each course that I had taken was very much satisfying and useful in gaining knowledge. The staff and the professors share a one on one relation with each student or individual. The university is located downtown San Jose with good access to public transportation and walkable distance to stores, apartments and restaurants. The only thing that needs a little improvement in this university is, the cafeteria. There is a wending machine which carries all the healthy stuff which is good, but not enough. Specially as I am a coffee drinker, there must be a coffee machine available for all the students at all times. read more

This is the most stupid school i have ever seen.. teachers are fine,, but the accounting and registration staff is pathetic.... all they care about money not even a 5% concern about students.. its just a money machine and nothing else... they changed admission's staff last sem but it has gone down even more.. I know a lot of students from this school and everybody has taken admission in this school for visa purpose... there is not even a single local student here.. ITU is a big fat joke.... Get in to state university if you care about your future and career. BUT STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCHOOL IF YOU WANT TO LEARN SOMETHING read more

As a computer engineering specialist, I have taught graduate engineering and management courses in several US-based universities for a couple of decades. I have been teaching at ITU for the last couple of years and found it to be an excellent school; especially for students who are interested in gaining an up to date technical and business experience which makes them excellent recruits for leading Silicon Valley companies to help thrive both technically and economically. read more

i-20 expires tomo...and ITU hasnt yet responded to my request which i sent more than a month ago. Front desk ppl and Admissions office are pure rude. THEY never passed on my mssgs to international students dept. I have been calling everyday. read more

ITU administration department is the WORST of its kind in the USA educational Institution. Students like me, pay thousands of $ while pursuing Masters with them and they don't bother to oblige for any sort of a simple request, like even for i20s if you ask them a copy, they consider our request as "shit" and never respond. Their standard is lesser than the 3rd grade category. With this crazy type of attitude in all matters EXCEPT MONEY, ITU has been in lots of problems and got FEW Show Cause Notices and Court cases FILED AGAINST THEM. I faced a lot of hardship with ITU and my sincere advice to those who look to join, Pl RUN far away from ITU. If there were negative stars, I'll be the first to give them. read more

Planning to take legal action against this university for all the hardships and losses that we went through due to their unprofessionalism. They don't care about our hard earned money. I am a sponsor for my spouse at ITU. Below is our story. As suggested by ITU, we had paid for the SEVIS Id deferment fee and also submitted the deferment form to ITU for my spouse's COS. Now it was their ISO teams responsibility to submit it to the USCIS. But they were careless enough to not submit it to the USCIS in-spite of sending followup mail. Neither did they contact us. Due to this the SEVIS-ID got cancelled and the USCIS rejected our application and asked my spouse to leave USA. We had to arrange for that even though she was undergoing a medical treatment for a severe arm and back injury. This could have easily been avoided, had they fulfilled their responsibility of submitting it on time. This has costed me the below 1. The COS fee already paid $390 2. The deferment fee that you took from us. $100 3. The flight travel worth approx $1000 4. The H4 visa application procedure and transportation 5. Again applying for the COS. We had to go through the entire pain of arranging the entire funds of $37,000, even though I had already paid the fees of 2 trimesters. I had to take the credit card balance transfer to arrange for that amount with the interest charges of $350 6. Due to all this, she had to take a break for the next trimester which will now impact our further plans 7. She was undergoing a medical treatment for an injury.which she had to leave it halfway even though the money was paid. She had to again start with the treatment back in her country, which is a double expense for our pocket. 8. Heaven forbid, if there had been any issues during the H4 visa, or with the COS, she might have NEVER entered USA again ! Also my previous term fees would have been wasted. 9. There was again some 250$ non refundable fee that we had to pay as she had already chosen some subjects for the forthcoming trimester. We met their ISO team and discussed with them. They admitted that it was their mistake that they missed out on sending the updated SEVIS ID to USCIS and also issued an MTR letter mentioning the same. I dropped mail to their director and other seniors sharing my grievance. They assigned some person to work with me. He kept requesting various documents which I provided him. But after that he stopped responding. It has been more than 2 months that I have raised this request. I gave him an ultimatum last week. But he did not reply to that either. This is the most unprofessional behavior I have ever seen. Also, now they have received a notice from SEVP that it is planning to withdraw the SEVP certification from ITU as they are not maintaining the required standards. The ITU is going to meanwhile appeal this decision, but not sure what happens if they loose this appeal. read more

**Review Based Strictly On Microsoft Exam Experience Only** PROS: Closest test center to my house - Unfortunately CONS: 1) Not sure if they validate parking here, but I needed to pay to park 2) SLOW ...SLOW ...SLOW - I arrived for my test on-time and needed to wait literally around 15 minutes for the 'IT' guy to come bring me to the test room. Then when I was done with everything, I was sitting in the test room for another good 15-20 minutes before anyone even came in to check on me. They said they monitor you via closed-circuit cameras, but if they did that, then they obviously would of seen me walking around the test room waiting for someone to come get me and give me my score. 3) Extremely slow to forward results off to Microsoft. It's been at least 7 business days and I needed to open up a case with Microsoft to get this process expedited. This might be fine if you're not in a rush, but my next pay raise comes along with this certification and I don't have time to sit around. All my tests were previously taken at a Prometric Test Center and I've always had the results on my transcript within a few days. **7/10/2013 - Update - It's been almost a month and I STILL do not have my exam listed on my transcript - Thanks ITU ! ** If you can stomach the longer drive and possible traffic, go to a Prometric Test Center. Otherwise, best of luck to you at ITU ! read more

This school is fraud. the admin staffs are very rude. you cant get any work done. They will keep on make pay you tuition and never give you work permit. better dont make the same mistake. beware and stay away. read more

I am a third trimester student and my experience has been good so far. I have given 5 star ratings to the professors and to the valuable clubs like Toastmasters at ITU. Professors here make us work with startup companies to learn basics in an competitive environment. Moreover, we get to participate in events like ITU's Hackathon, speed networking, etc. All the course related projects I am currently working on are interesting. Oh yes! Forgot to mention! The business department recently got its second accreditation! I am happy to be a part of ITU :) read more

The administration department here is the worst I have ever come across in all my life. The people working at the front office/desk do not even have the people skills to be working at a butcher's shop. It is just funny that they get to be part of the staff of an educational institution. They will yell at you and have no patience to hear a student's problem. read more

The people who pick up the phone or sit at the administration desk are very rude , arrogant and dont talk to you properly. It has been a horrible experience dealing with the administration here. I see another review where someone mentioned that they shout and yell and dont listen to you which is what I have experienced. There is a lot of red tape here and simple processes and approvals take a lot of time. When you try to contact them you are put on hold for a long period of time and then phone disconnects. They are creating unnecessary complications for processing very simple and basic requests. Horrible staff!! Never seen such a thing in an educational institute. I hope they change their staff soon or else things might get worse. read more

Like: Good School, Knowledgeable Professors,Good courses in MBA, flexible options for students who are working, Admission process is not complicated. Dislike: Office staff is lazy. Its tough to get your processes done on time from the Admissions/administration dept. !! read more

This is not an academic institute at all - it is just a house of making money, and looting the customers/students. I took an admission and ITU and paid the fees as due. All of a sudden few days later, I still see a balance due in my account. When I followed up, they said it is mandatory student insurance - which no one ever told me about. Not only that, they already paid for that insurance from my account, without even letting me know, and hence my account kept showing that I did not pay the amount due for the class. Eventually, due to HIDDEN COSTS AND FEES, I withdrew my admission. They never refunded me the full amount. I had multiple communications with them, and have now lost hope of getting anything back !!! DO NOT Waste your time by even considering this place.... read more

I give five star to this university. I am a current software engineering g student. Professors are well educated and experience. wASC accreditation really make university worth. Like all other famous and renowned university in California and Hawaii ITU is also WASC accredited. I really recommend you all to join. I hope sharing my live experience helps you to decide and choose best fit university. But believe me you vl be very pleased to join iTU and study under few of the finest professors. read more

Graduated from digital arts program last year. Awesome instructors. The class is small but really productive. Lots of homework though. I learned a lot. read more

This University is NOT a Research Institution in the sense of Stanford or Cal, nor does it have a football team. It does, however, provide an excellent education opportunity by some top-rate instructors. It is an excellent school, especially for those of us who are already working and would like to advance our standing through continuing education. read more

ITU is liar. Most of students CPT I20 are delayed, ISO of ITU failed to fulfill their commitment that finish the application in 15 days. And ITU even refused to say how many additional days are needed. Nearly all the students are in terrible trouble, but it looks like ITU does not care about this, no one work after business hours to expedite the process. ITU even hide all the contact information of its staff, all we can do is to submit useless ticket on its system ,and nobody reply these tickets or they just close these tickets. Or we make a call to ITU, which is rudely dropped in a shot time by ITU operator. read more

ITU is the most $#@# up school in bay area. The parking lot of your apartment would be bigger than ITU. Total money making machine. Submit all fake , financial and educational documents and you will get admission. As someone rightly pointed out, its only open for visa purposes. The only day a student comes to ITU is when they have to submit docs before admission.Once they get admission , you will mostly find them in grocery stores (part timings). This school is doing well on the course of another Tri valley. ----------------BEWARE------------------------------------ yelp dosent allow less than one star. This place deserves -ve stars read more

Well, when I was choosing a university to pursue my MBA here in the US back in 2008, I came across ITU and the most interesting aspect were the robust industry ready curriculum, faculty profiles and to top if all is that its located in the heart of the silicon valley. Life since I joined has been constant learning and implementation and now makes me feel capable of handling any project that I will be involved in. The staff over all, right from the people who take calls, admission, finance, front desk are all very friendly and provide prompt service and follow-up. The curriculum of ITU's academic programs are constantly revised and are kept abreast with the cutting edge business practices, technologies in practice, The department heads are very approachable and so are the faculty, speaking of which - they comprise of doctorate, industry professionals from NASA, entrepreneurs. How diverse they are in both their accomplishments and ethnicities!! ITU also have a certification lab, offering more than 6000 world class certifications that students can utilise to their interests as they graduate from ITU. Also to mention is the new cafeteria and a full size basket ball court !! parties for students celebrating a multitude of diverse festivities across seasons and ethnicities !!. Over all if your looking for an educational experience that will train and shape you with not only degree's but certifications too, that will empower your career you have perhaps made the best decision and what better place to look to jump start your career than the Silicon Valley. read more

I don't know where to start... maybe students office? ADMISSIONS: Hi Michael, Dr. Yau, Dr. Obrien... i think you people do not have an idea the kind of treatment we are receiving from your students office Boss (Dr. Sara Javid), if you do not fire her, I am willing to give my life away if ITU does not lose all the students and get shutdown in less than 1 year. You cannot treat your customers like trash bags or toilet paper. No matter how much the students try to be sneaky or fooling around.. that is why its a college, we are here to learn and be better people in the future. Am not a child for Sara to be calling me names just because i did not submit an assignment or CPT report in time. Just give me an F or stop threatening how much you will TERMINATE MY SEVIS. YOU SOUND LIKE A GOD FROM MARS. NEXT TIME YOU CALL ME NAMES I WILL PUNCH YOUR FACE SO HARD. i hear she is also calling her own employees names and threatening to fire them. SHE IS THE BOSS! OMFG ACCOUNTS: These people do not care about students. Our parents are working so hard to help us pay tuition, payment plans have been options in many institutions for sooo many years, give the students a benefit of doubts and allow them to pay tuition installments. SEVIS I will be transfering from ITU next semester, but before then I am writing a letter to SEVIS and ask all the students who have transferred from ITU to sign petition validating my complains. I am very influential in the institution and I believe i can get atleast 100 signatures very easily. So this is my demand, you either FIRE SARA, or I proceed with PETITION TO GET SIGNATURES FROM STUDENTS TO REQUEST TERMINATION OF ITU'S SEVIS ACCOUNT. If you think it is a joke. Wait and See Yours faithfully Mahtma Gandhi read more

ITU has helped many international students in their need ( u will understand if you are International student). Well I was one of them . I was surprised at first when I saw the university first with only couple of small rooms. I never thought Universities could be this small but was shocked with what they had to offer to the student to pursue their study in different field. As a business student , I had never been so excited to select the subjects that I want to take on the first semester. They have numbers of great Faculty member's of my favorite Professor was Dr. Amale. Well she is the best among all the faculty members.. I took her class every semester. Overall, I had good time studying in ITU .I will recommend this ITU to my friends as a reasonable university. Its not like you get what you paid for, but if you are smart enough , you can get more than you bargain for. read more

ITU is wonderful school. There is lot of improvement in teaching and courses. Exams are little difficult but it gives more practical knowledge to students by active group discussions and seminars. Its really admirable college. read more

Pros: Its a very good University with highly qualified professors. Most of them are with several years of IT experience also very approachable. Convenient access to public transport. Cons: Front desk staff is very rude, especially Cristina who doesn't seem to know the beauty of her job. Instead of just giving appointment to meet with concerned person, they try to ask unwanted questions, stop students from meeting the right person. They sometimes give wrong info! Be careful about them everyone. Fortunately they have student assistants at the entrance who can understand admissions/visa related to issue. read more

This is the worst administration i had experienced in my entire life. People here at front desk don't know how to speak with students. They are very rude and hang up while speaking. First step to make ITU better university is fire the people at front desk and replace them with new people and give them training how to speak with students or their parents. There is no rating in yelp to give in negatives. If it is allowed i am willing to give -100. That much i am frustrated with the help desk. They will tell something at one time and after few days they will change that rule and they will say its obselete. My advice for anyone be prepared to get headache while talking with their front desk. This experience is for everyone. So ITU chairman plz get training to your front desk people and make them learn how to speak to students. We are paying thousands of dollars for studying here. We need some respect and patience while hearing our problems. Even we are busy in our lives and will call your help desk to get our problem resolved not for time pass. Just remember that thing. My advice for students who are thinking about this university look for some other universities which are little decent. I am very sure any university in US will be better than this university. Even i don't understand how this university got affiliated. For people who are studying in this university from other countries will get very bad opinion about US universities. This university will be definitely downgrade to US universities. It will be very peaceful and educated if you study in any other university. If it is 1 year delayed also go for another university i am very sure you will be very happy for not choosing this university. So people plz think while you are joining in this university. read more

I will give BIG 5 for services provided by staff. Appreciate all services of FRONT DESK people... Special Thanks to KIM, CHRISTY and all other who help me alot in getting all my documents ready. I dont know why people gets frustrated and irritated without any reason. I must say they are really here to help students. BIG HUG to Front Desk Staff. read more

When I was enrolled, the teachers and the admission staff were decent, and they were helpful and accommodating to me. However when I recently went there as an Alumni, I did not feel welcome at all. There is this new lady in admissions (I think she runs the place now) who is the rudest person I've ever met. She was yelling at students and staffs, and it was not pretty sight to see grown up men shudder at her sight. I had to speak to her for something, and that's when I felt the wrath of her condescending attitude firsthand. I'd have given ITU a rating higher than 4 stars, but because of this Lady, I give 2 stars. read more

I found a lot of negative comments in regards to the work ethic of Administration. I would bear caution to the wind about enrolling in this school and thoroughly research any interests before signing on the dotted line. read more
