IADT - Tampa was a for-profit college offering both bachelor's and associate degrees in various fields of study. Former Sears executive Clem Stein founded the original International Academy of Design and Technology in Chicago in 1977. The Tampa location opened in 1984.[1] IADT's parent company, Career Education Corporation, merged the school under the Sanford-Brown College name in March 2014[2] before closing the location a year later.[3]
