Anthem Institute

Overview of Anthem Institute

Anthem Institute was created in 1970 when one of the largest insurance organizations in the world had a need for qualified people to run its multimillion dollar computer center. In lieu of attempting to seek out skilled employees, the company created its own training center. The concept proved to be a success and in short order other large companies began to rely on Anthem Institute to provide them with computer professionals as well. The school was originally known as The Chubb Institute.

In time, the Institute shed its affiliation with the insurance company and was acquired by High-Tech Institute (HTI), which added Anthem's locations to its network of HTI campuses throughout the U.S. Today, there are six branch campuses of Anthem Institute in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. The Institute offers career-training diploma programs in computer technology and healthcare fields.
