You can have the best of both worlds at IIT Chicago through our distance education program targeted for Indian Engineers. This program is for masters level degrees.

Benefits to employers range from the increased capabilities and enthusiasm of their employees to in some cases, patentable products begun as projects during classes.  Begun in India in 1997 at the invitation of Motorola, Working professionals in India, particularly from Information technology related  area and manufacturing technology have immensely benefited from the Online programs.
