Middle Bucks Institute of Technology (MBIT) is a vocational-technical school serving Centennial, Central Bucks, New Hope/Solebury, and Council Rock School Districts in Pennsylvania, United States. Many secondary-school students who wish obtain an in-depth education in specific technical areas not covered by their "home school" choose to attend MBIT. Typically, a student will attend either in the morning (A Session) or in the afternoon (B Session), for a three-hour class and then return to their home school. MBIT offers classes, including: Childcare, Computer Networking, Website Design, Automotive Technologies, HVAC, Dental Occupations, Health Occupations, Public Safety, Culinary Arts, Cosmetology, and Multimedia Technology.
MBIT uses the Career Cluster model, and offers ten such clusters: "Architecture & Construction", "Arts, A/V Technology & Communications", "Health Science", "Hospitality & Tourism", "Human Services", "Information Technology", "Law, Public Safety & Security", "Manufacturing", "Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics" and "Transportation, Distribution & Logistics". Each cluster has one or more associated career pathways. Students typically choose one career pathway, which includes core classes common to the cluster, and courses specific to the pathway.[1] School years in each program are described as levels. Typically, 100 level as a sophomore, 200 level as a junior, and 300 level as a senior. Many programs offer scholarships or college credits after completing the 300 level.
