Molecular Biochemistry and Biophysics (B.S.)

About

The program focuses on biophysical approaches to determine the structure of macromolecules and macromolecular assemblies. Students can access X-ray facilities at the nearby Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory, one of the world's most intense X-ray sources.

Discover the essential building blocks of life, how they fit together, how they work, and the physical methods for exploring these building blocks. With its interdisciplinary nature and research-driven focus, the molecular biochemistry and biophysics degree is a great way to prepare for careers in research, biomedical industry, and medicine.

Scientific disciplines are increasingly intertwined, and knowledge traditionally confined to a single discipline is no longer sufficient to tackle many of tomorrow's challenges. Just ask many of our faculty who are affiliated with the advanced facilities at the Argonne National Laboratory to study proteins, their molecular structures, the drugs that interact with them, and/or the development of novel drugs. Access the world-class computing and X-ray facilities available at Argonne.

The molecular biochemistry and biophysics program at Illinois Tech features courses in metabolic biochemistry, macromolecular structure and techniques, molecular biophysics, physical biochemistry, and more. Involvement in research is strongly encouraged.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

Admission to Illinois Tech is required to enroll in the molecular biochemistry and biophysics program. Consult with your academic adviser before transferring into this program.

English Program Requirements

International students who fit into any of the following categories will be considered to have met the requirement:

Residents of a country where English is the only official language and who is a native English speaker
Graduates of U.S. high schools
Completed the equivalent of Iowa State’s English 150 or 250 with a grade of B or better at an accredited U.S. 2 year or 4 year college or university.

CONDITIONAL ADMISSION

If you meet all admission requirements but do not meet our English proficiency requirements, Iowa State offers conditional admission to attend our Intensive English and Orientation Program (IEOP). If you would like to enroll in IEOP, on the application choose "I would like to enroll in Iowa State’s IEOP program before I begin the academic study.”
