About Fortis Institute

Set in Towson's busy commercial district, Fortis Institute's Towson campus is known for practice-first learning in health sciences and technical fields. Classrooms sit beside labs and simulation rooms, so students move from concepts to hands-on work with instructors grounded in real-world experience. The vibe is supportive: tutoring, advising, career services, plus quiet study spots and a couple of lounges.

Student life fits a commuter rhythm, with skill workshops, peer study groups, and community events. And when class wraps, shops, parks, and Baltimore's job market are nearby. The campus has a reputation for career prep, from resume help and mock interviews to employer contacts that can lead to practical experience and first roles. It feels small, focused, and adult-learner friendly.
