ITT Tech Students Can Find Quality and Value at Highline

  • ITT Tech Students

Get to Know Highline College

The closure of ITT Technical Institute does not need to be the end of your education and training. Highline College offers many of the programs that ITT Technical Institute offered prior to its closure on September 6, 2016. Just 15 minutes from ITT Tech’s Tukwila campus, Highline College in Des Moines is here to help.

Do you want to earn a short-term certificate to get a job in a specific field? Are you looking to earn an associate degree to transfer? Highline offers all of that and more, including new applied bachelor’s degrees.
