The Toyota Technical Institute (TTI), established in 1981 by Toyota Motor Corporation, was founded under the leadership of Eiji Toyota, inspired by the company’s core principles: "Respect the spirit of research and creativity, and always strive to stay ahead of the times." The decision to create the university was made in 1977, aiming to foster innovation and excellence.
Initially funded by a generous endowment from Toyota Motor Corporation, TTI focused on science and technology education. When it first opened, the institute admitted only candidates with prior industry experience. However, in 1993, TTI expanded its admissions to include high school graduates, who now constitute the majority of its student body.
To maintain its focus on cutting-edge research, TTI launched a PhD program in 1995. Later, in 2003, the institute established a Chicago campus dedicated to computer science.
The Toyota Technological Institute (TTI) has earned recognition across various global academic rankings. In the QS World University Rankings 2024, TTI is placed at 446th globally, reflecting its dedication to academic excellence. Similarly, the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2025 places TTI within the 1001–1200 bracket, highlighting its growing international presence.
