Each student is assigned a departmental premedical adviser who helps them structure a course of study to meet medical school admission requirements. Our Premedical Advisory Committee is here to provide assistance to premed students-from monitoring academic progress to gathering and providing information about volunteer and research opportunities to assisting in the medical school preparation process. Our newest major, Molecular Biochemistry and Biophysics, is just one example of the benefits of a private education. Private institutions have great flexibility in curriculum development and therefore are in a unique position to respond to emerging areas of study. We develop courses and majors to include the most advanced techniques and newly discovered information.
Students interact with their instructors, faculty and administration.
Student input is valued and students are often requested to serve on campus committees, thus playing a direct role in the on-going development of the university. Education at IIT is flexible and personalized. Some students attend summer school finish their degrees in a shorter amount of time. Many students participate in cooperative education programs which postpone graduation, but allow students to gain valuable work experience. There are also the many students who begin taking graduate level courses as undergraduates, and complete a BS and an M.S. at IIT within five years although all students can complete their degree in four years.
