Biological and Chemical Sciences Biology The undergraduate Biology degree at IIT provides excellent preparation for the health professions, including medicine, osteopathic medicine, and dentistry. In addition, the rigorous program prepares graduates for careers in biotechnology, biochemistry, patent law, and environmental science. Graduates are also prepared for immediate entry into positions in industrial, medical, and other research laboratories and for graduate programs in biotechnology, cell biology, biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. The objectives of IIT’s biology major are to give students strong training in the areas of modern cell biology, genetics, biochemistry, microbiology, and physiology, supported by a solid foundation in mathematics and the physical sciences. In addition, the biology major is designed to give students broad opportunities to study advanced topics in biology, both in the classroom and by participating in undergraduate research projects.

Free Elective 3 Total Hours 126 Bachelor of Science in Biology with Secondary Education Teaching Certification Many students will be interested in education with a strong math- and science-based curriculum, especially with a growing need for science educators nationwide. Students will earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and a teaching certification through the Math and Science Education department. Students may substitute 12 credits of biology electives, one credit of biology colloquium, and three credits of free electives with MSED courses. Also, students may substitute Biology 403 for Biology 401 and 402. MSED 450 is an internship and must be taken full time with no other contemporaneous courses, resulting in tight course scheduling. Students are advised to indicate their interest as soon as possible and seek advising specific to this program from both the Biological and Chemical Sciences and the Math and Science Education departments. Students must take the following to qualify for teaching certification: MSED 200 Analysis of Classrooms (Practicum and Seminar) MSED 250 Middle and Secondary School Curriculum/Foundations MSED 300 Instructional Methods/Strategies I MSED 320 Inquiry and Problem Solving in Mathematics and Science MSED 350 Informal Education Practicum and Seminar MSED 400 Instructional Methods/Strategies II MSED 450 Professional Internship 47
