General Information about Anthem Institute

Originally called the Chubb Institute, this institution was founded in 1970. It was established by an insurance company in order to train students in computer-related fields. Later, the parent company added medical training to the curriculum. The Chubb Institute was purchased by High Tech Institute Inc. and TCI Education Inc. in 2004, and was renamed to Anthem Institute in 2008. It is now a part of the greater system of the Anthem Education Group.

Across its six campuses, the Anthem Institute has about 4,225 students. The school trains students through diploma programs intended to place a student directly into a profession upon completion. Due to the specialized nature of the university, its programs are not divided among departments. Instead, they are divided into three areas of study. While all six campuses have programs in each of the three areas, not all programs are offered at each campus.

Admissions and Enrollment Information

Students wishing to enroll in the Anthem Institute can do so in three steps. First, the potential scholar needs to make sure he or she meets the school's entry requirements, which are fluency in the English language, high school diploma or GED and a passing grade on the entrance assessment test. Second, students must schedule an interview with an admissions representative at the campus they wish to attend. Finally, an admissions packet must be submitted that includes the school application, an application fee, a high school transcript or proof of GED and an enrollment agreement.
