About
History
Founded under the leadership of Nobel Prize recipient Guglielmo Marconi, and originally known as the Marconi Institute in New York City, and was originally a leading center for education and development in the communications industry. The school trained operators for "wireless telegraphy" which later evolved into radio.
After World War I, General Electric became an investor in Marconi's company and merged into the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), and the training school became Radio Institute of America in 1919.
In 1929, the school was renamed RCA Institutes, led by Managing Director and graduate David Sarnoff, pioneer of American commercial radio and television, who was also the co-founder of the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) in 1926.
Accreditation from the New York State Board of Regents was granted in 1972 and in 1974, the school was renamed Technical Career Institutes. Recently, the school has most commonly been known as TCI College.
