Washington University in St. Louis is one of the top-ranked universities in the country. It is among the world's leaders in teaching and research, and draws students and faculty to St. Louis from all 50 states and more than 110 nations.
The Henry Edwin Sever Institute, a division of the Washington University School of Engineering & Applied Science, is dedicated to providing exceptional part-time, professional educational programs. Many of its offerings are conveniently scheduled during evenings and weekends to accommodate the needs of working professionals. Sever Institute offerings include graduate studies in Information Management, Engineering Management, Project Management, System Integration and Construction Management.
Today's CAIT was founded more than 35 years ago, when a group of Data Processing managers from key St. Louis companies approached Washington University asking for help. They convinced the University to provide local training in COBOL, mainframe hardware, and other needed skill sets, so they could reduce the cost of sending staffs to Chicago, New York, and other remote locations for training. From this beginning as the region's original and most respected IT training center, CAIT has extended its mission and activities over the years to become, in every other way, the true center for IT leaders in the region.
CAIT is a not-for-profit organization within Washington University in St. Louis that serves as the center for information technology (IT) leaders in the St. Louis region.
Our purpose is to help organizations make continuous advancements in productivity and enhance the region's competitiveness as a thriving, world-class IT community.
We accomplish this by providing the forum for IT executive interaction and the highest quality IT training & professional development opportunities, leveraging the resources of Washington University, local IT leaders, and experts and vendors throughout the country.
