Background Information
Taylor Business Institute
Taylor Business Institute was authorized by the Board of Regents on March 24, 1972 to grant the Associate in Occupational Studies (A.O.S.) degree. The Institute was purchased from ITT Educational Services, Inc. by Phillips Colleges, Inc. on April 13, 1988. On January 31, 1997, TBIO, Inc. purchased Taylor Business Institute from Phillips Colleges, Inc. On April 4, 2002, the institute was purchased by the Benhem Company, Inc. (a New York corporation). All academic awards are to be conferred on graduates by the Regents. On September 26, 2006, the State Education Department ordered the termination of all degree-granting programs at the Institute at the end of the fall 2006 semester. To hold students harmless, the Regents will continue to be asked to confer degrees for those students who completed programs at Taylor before the institution was closed.
