Our Campus & Labs

The world is changing and education needs to change with it. We are trying to bring change straight to the heart of education, the classroom; because we believe the classroom should be more than only big textbooks and fancy desks. It should be a place where you learn to apply your education.

Southern California
Institute of Technology

SCIT was founded by a team of educators in 1987 to pioneer effective, application focused educational methods in the engineering, business and trade disciplines. At our campus located in Anaheim, Orange County CA, we aim to provide students with an in-depth and engaging learning experience centered on industry relevant and practical curricula.

Our mission is to provide programs that foster and unite creativity with a hands-on approach to learning, what we call "Education Through Application." We achieve this by offering programs that are sound and practical in concept, implement by experienced, dedicated faculty and staff, and that utilize innovative instructional labs for students to apply what they learn in the classroom.
