International Technological University (ITU) is a non-profit private university in San Jose, California. The university awards seven master's degrees and three doctoral degrees.
International Technological University (ITU) was founded in 1994 by Professor Shu-Park Chan, previously a professor and interim dean of the School of Engineering at Santa Clara University. Chan retired early from Santa Clara in 1992 to found ITU two years later. In 2011, upon Shu-Park Chan’s retirement, the Board of Trustees elected his son Yau-Gene Chan, previously Executive Vice-President, to the ITU presidency. Following the WASC special investigation into Third Party Comments in February 2015, the Board of Trustees removed Chan and appointed Dr. Gregory O'Brien as the new President of ITU.
ITU moved to its current campus in Downtown San Jose in April 2011, from its original location in Sunnyvale. In 2014, it was announced that ITU would move to a new 76,568 square foot facility on 2711 North First Street, San Jose. ITU completed the move to its current campus on March 25, 2015.
ITU is institutionally accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) as of February 22, 2013. Previously, ITU was accredited by ACICS from July 1, 2001 to December 31, 2004, according to the US DoE Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs.
On April 27, 2017, the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) granted programmatic accreditation to ITU's business degree programs.
ITU offers seven master's degree programs and three doctoral programs in six academic departments:
Business Administration
Computer Science and Software Engineering

All of the master's programs require a total of 36 credits to complete, including four core courses and a capstone or thesis course. All of the doctoral programs require 60 credits to complete.
