Benjamin Franklin Cummings Institute of Technology

The Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology (BFIT) operates from its campus in Boston's historic South End neighborhood. Founded in 1908 through Benjamin Franklin's bequest and matching funds from Andrew Carnegie, BFIT provides technical education with a focus on engineering, automotive technology, construction management, and computer technology programs. The private, non-profit technical college maintains small class sizes and emphasizes hands-on laboratory instruction in its technical degree programs. Located near Boston's public transportation system, BFIT occupies several brick buildings in an urban setting, with its main academic building featuring classrooms, technical laboratories, and student service facilities. While the institute does not provide on-campus housing, its location offers students access to Boston's educational, cultural, and employment resources.
