Campus History

EBI was founded in 1858 as Elmira Business and Shorthand College. This school, a leader in postsecondary education, was located just blocks from EBI's current location at Langdon Plaza in Elmira, New York.

EBI is now in a new building, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge lab equipment. And in 2003, EBI opened its second location in Vestal, New York.

EBI has always been committed to advancing the careers and bettering the lives of our students. We're dedicated to evolving with technology to meet the demands of today's employers.
