    Molecular Biochemistry and Biophysics (B.S.) at Illinois Institute of Technology

    The Molecular Biochemistry and Biophysics (B.S.) at Illinois Institute of Technology is a Bachelor program designed for students who want to build the knowledge and skills required for careers in this field. Delivered on campus at the university's main campus in Chicago, United States of America, the program is taught in English and takes 4 years to complete. Students study in a Full Time environment while preparing for future professional opportunities. The next intake starts on August 22, 2027.

    About Molecular Biochemistry and Biophysics (B.S.)

    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.
