Middle Bucks Institute of Technology (MBIT) is a vocational-technical school serving Centennial, Central Bucks, New Hope/Solebury, and Council Rock School Districts in Pennsylvania, United States. Many secondary-school students who wish obtain an in-depth education in specific technical areas not covered by their "home school" choose to attend MBIT. Typically, a student will attend either in the morning (A Session) or in the afternoon (B Session), for a three-hour class and then return to their home school. MBIT offers classes, including: Childcare, Computer Networking, Website Design, Automotive Technologies, Programming, HVAC, Dental Occupations, Health Occupations, Public Safety, Culinary Arts, Cosmetology, and Multimedia Technology.
MBIT uses the Career Cluster model, and offers eight such clusters: "Architecture & Construction", "Arts, A/V Technology & Communications", "Computer & Information Science", "Engineering and Manufacturing", "Health Science", Hospitality & Tourism", "Human Services", and "Transportation". Each cluster has one or more associated career pathways. Students typically choose one career pathway, which includes core classes common to the cluster, and courses specific to the pathway.
