Illinois Tech provides a close-knit academic environment where faculty offer individualized guidance to tailor degrees to diverse career goals, particularly through specialized program tracks. The M.S. in biology creates pathways into various sectors including industry, business, law, policy, management, or scientific research, serving either as a final qualification or as groundwork for doctoral studies.
Students can select between a thesis or non-thesis track to fulfill degree requirements.
The thesis track prepares graduates for experimental biology careers in academic, governmental, or industrial settings, while also serving as a stepping stone to Ph.D. programs. Admission to this track is competitive.
The non-thesis track caters to professionals in science administration, policy development, patent law, and related fields. Completion requires either a library-based or laboratory research project.
The Cell and Molecular Biology MS specialization equips students with comprehensive training in cellular and molecular sciences. Through challenging coursework and departmental research opportunities, students gain the expertise and practical experience needed for successful careers in Cell and Molecular Biology.
