The Cohort Student Default (CDR) rate was an incredibly low 1%
Meaning only 1% of all EIC students with student loan debt were not able to meet their repayment obligations. In 2017 and 2018, we experienced a further CDR decline to 0%! This praiseworthy accomplishment indicates our graduates continue to find work which, in turn, enables them to keep to their student loan repayment schedules and not go into default.

Micro Tech Training Center, now Eastern International College, was established to provide customized computer training to students referred by local corporations
Initially, the school, which was located in East Orange, New Jersey, occupied two classrooms and trained 15 students in job-related software applications. Shortly thereafter, the school was approved by the New Jersey Department of Education and expanded its course offerings to include customized training for local companies in conjunction with the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA). As training programs offered by the school met with success, student enrollment increased and additional classes were added to accommodate the scheduling demands of the working group.
