Border Institute of Technology was founded in recognition of the need for working adults to meet contemporary challenges to re-think and re-tool. From the beginning it has been BIT's intent to provide quality degree programs in a flexible environment. This goal has been accomplished by adopting an innovative approach to traditional education; combining self-study with direct personal contact and technology. A unique aspect to BIT programs is the one-on-one instruction students receive from a distinguished national faculty. Although the University has taken advantage of advancements in technology to improve instruction, technology is regarded as an enhancement rather than a replacement for good teaching and relevant content. Students enjoy an educational climate that is typical of one found on a small traditional campus. This is made possible at a distance through a centralized Learning Network; emphasizing committed student service and open communication. BIT offers programs which afford a rich opportunity for U.S. and Non U.S. residents to match their desire to develop intellectually and professionally.
Located in one of the most dynamic regions of the country, BIT is a comprehensive teaching and research institution with a diverse and international student body of more than 14,000. The university has since grown into a world-class university that attracts students from around the globe while still serving the texas region, and yet two traditions remain paramount today: We are deeply committed to preparing teachers and providing an excellent and affordable higher education to texas families.
