(which had merged with Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide the year before) divested itself completely of ITT Tech's shares but the schools still use the "ITT" name under license. It operates over 130 ITT Technical Institutes in 37 states, which primarily provide career-focused degree programs to approximately 80,000 students.
