The following year, the name was changed to Tennessee Institute of Electronics. Initially, the primary function was to prepare graduates for entry-level employment as electronic technicians in radio and television communications. The College became accredited in 1967 and continues to maintain its accreditation today by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC). Continued growth and curriculum expansion afforded the College to once again outgrow its name. In May of 2003, the College became Fountainhead College of Technology. Fountainhead College is committed to using its resources to make a significant contribution to secure the nation's critical infrastructure. In 1999 the college began offering an Associate's Degree in Information Technology with curriculum developed to include information security training. In 2002 the college began development of a Baccalaureate degree in Network Security and Forensics; and in 2003 Fountainhead College of Technology became the first college in the southeast to offer a computer security-focused baccalaureate degree. Today, Fountainhead College stands as the leader in technology-related training programs in East Tennessee.

I looked at about 13 different colleges and universities before deciding on this one. The main reason I chose Fountainhead was because they were just about the only college that taught the newest computer programming languages. Every other college or university was still teaching the older Visual Basic 6 and C++, while Fountainhead was offering Visual Basic.NET and C#.NET. During enrollment, their financial adviser was very good about making sure that I knew what needed to be done, and how I was going to get the funding. Fountainhead has followed through with all their statements and promises, and I'd definitely choose them again if I decide to pursue another degree.
