The Institute was established in 1934 by Carl Smith under the name Smith Practical Radio Institute to provide correspondence learning courses in the field of Radio and Electronics Engineering, and has served an international student body since its inception. CIE reached a milestone of 40,000 students from 70 countries around the world in 1972 and continued its exponential growth until 1995.[2] In these years institutes started to provide educational content over the internet. In 2000, CIE began providing online examinations and assignment submission over the internet.[3] The competition between formal universities and educational institutes over the internet resulted in a smaller market share of most of the correspondence learning institutions including CIE.
In 1956, Cleveland Institute of Electronics conceptualized and patented its "Auto-Programmed" method, a new approach to curriculum presentation. The method did nothing short of set the bar and raise the standard to a new pinnacle for education through self-study.[4]
The Institute provides A.A.S. degrees as well as B.S. degrees through its subsidiary World College, as well as numerous certificates in the Electronics Engineering, Broadcast ( RF ) Engineering (Leads to Certified Broadcast Technologist designation by SBE), and Computer Engineering fields.[5][6]
These programs are offered by World College. http://www.worldcollege.net/home.asp
