The Institute of Technological Studies (ITS) is a private degree awarding institution situated in Colombo, Sri Lanka. It offers degree programs for undergraduates, especially transfer programs such as 2+2 or 3+1 for undergraduates who want to transfer to the United States, Canada or other countries.
As the government universities of Sri Lanka only accept 5-10% of the students who sit for the local G.C.E. Advance level examination, there was a question mark for the rest of students’ higher educations. After the political issues the Institute of Technological Studies was approved under the Section 25 A of the Amended University Act No. 16 of 1978 on 15 December, 1988.
The Institute of Technological Studies was established in 1984 as a private university on a 4.5-acre (18,000 m2) plot of land in the heart of Colombo, founded by Dr. Edirisinghe, the president of ITS. In June 1985, ITS started to offer B.S degree in Computer science in affiliation with the University of Houston, Clear Lake, Texas, USA. It became the first institute in Sri Lanka to offer business degrees in 1987 by creating a business administration faculty.
Since 1991, the institute has expanded its activities by offering the first three years of the majority of the bachelor’ degrees offered in US universities.
The Troy University in Troy, Alabama has joined with The ITS by offering the entire Computer Science and Business Administration degree to the Sri Lankan students. The degree obtained in ITS will be exactly the same as one gained at University.
The ITS campus facilities such as a canteen where snacks and rice and curry prepared on site can be purchased. Recreation facilities include a table tennis room and basketball and tennis courts. The grounds are landscaped and benches allow for socialization between classes.
In May 2009, the Institute announced that it had formed a partnership to open a branch campus of St. Theresa's Medical University (St. Kitts) in Colombo, Sri Lanka beginning in June 2009, with approximately 75 students, for which STMU claimed to have government approval. [1]
