Applied Sciences Program
As technology becomes a pervasive force, no professional
can afford to enter the workplace without an understanding
of technology and its scientific foundations. For example,
a corporate attorney may draw on a background in biology to
defend a pharmaceutical patent. A physician may be called
upon to make a cost-benefit analysis of a sophisticated
medical device. A person trained in psychology may find a
rewarding career in such specialties as human resources or
rehabilitation counseling, Each of these professionals
requires education in more than one discipline.
IIT’s Applied Sciences Degree Program offers students this
multidisciplinary crosstraining. Undergraduates may specialize
in one of eight focused professional disciplines: psychology,
political science, biology, chemistry, physics, computer
information systems, applied mathematics or molecular biochemistry
and biophysics-linked with an interdisciplinary
core of math, sciences, computing, communication, organizational
behavior and humanities, which will be the basis for

every professional career in the future. Undergraduates from
engineering and architecture who plan to pursue graduate
or professional study also are invited to participate in the
Applied Sciences program.
The flexibility and broad base of the Applied Sciences Degree
Program make it an ideal preparation for students planning
careers in medicine, dentistry and other graduate health professions:
the physical and social sciences; law; psychology;
environmental studies; and graduate business. Because
graduates of these programs have excellent analytic and communication
skills, they are prepared to begin careers in a
variety of fields after earning their undergraduate degrees.
Each student’s program is highly individualized-integrating
courses, projects, research and field work relevant to the
student’s professional goals, as well as to his or her undergraduate
specialization.
