The New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) is a private, non-profit research university focussed on technical and vocational studies. It has several campuses in New York State as well as programmes abroad.

In 1910 the institute¡¯s predecessor, the New York Technical Institute, was licensed by New York State. NYIT opened in 1955. As is the case today, the institute aimed to educate its students for a variety of professions. NYIT was one of the first institutions to pioneer teaching through computers.

NYIT is a top-rated school in terms of returns on the cost of study, with high numbers of students going on to find well-paid jobs.

More than 90 educational programmes geared towards professional training are available at NYIT, including cross-disciplinary courses. All students follow a core curriculum of studies aimed at preparing students for the workplace.
