The history of our college dates back nearly 70 years. We’re proud to say that since that time, we’ve succeeded at fulfilling our mission here at our campus in Media, Pennsylvania. Over the decades,’ students have prepared for rewarding careers here, and we’re pleased to have helped make a difference in their lives and the lives of their families. Today Pennsylvania Institute of Technology graduates are prepared to succeed in positions within the nursing, health care management, cannabis studies, and medical imaging fields and in many more in demand careers. It all started with the vision of one man, Walter R. Garrison.

In the early 1950’s, Garrison saw the need for engineers who could perform stress analysis in aircraft and civil/architectural fields. Classes began in mathematics, stress analysis, and other technical subjects at our first campus located in Upper Darby, PA. In 1976, the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDOE) granted P.I.T. approval to award specialized associate’s degrees for its technical programs. P.I.T. remained in Upper Darby for almost 30 years until 1982, when the demand for more space required a move to today’s lovely, 14 acre Rose Valley-Media campus. In 1983, P.I.T. was accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (1007 North Orange Street 4th Floor, MB #166 Wilmington, DE 19801, 267-284-5011), an institutional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. In 2021, the College was approved by Middle States to begin offering two Bachelor degree granting programs.
