History
On September 25, 1908, the Franklin Union, which is now Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology, was dedicated. Well over 200 years after his death, Franklin's legacy continues to do great public good. Franklin's vision has guided the college's pragmatic approach of developing curricula that meets industry needs, and ensuring student success through comprehensive support.
Education
BFIT is proud of its long tradition of providing a hands-on college education in technical fields that are experiencing job growth. Our graduates develop the core skills that prepare them on multiple levels such as professional communication, information processing, and plan implementation. The continuous improvement of language, math, analytic, creative and, of course, technical skills, are all keys to achieving success.
Career
Under Anthony Benoit’s leadership, BFIT has added seven new technology programs, expanded its student support and career services, and created an accelerated degree program for high school students, all while not raising tuition for the past four years.
