Colleges and Majors
Note: For a complete list of undergraduate courses offered by Illinois Institute of Technology, please take a look at the Undergraduate Catalog.
Students generally are admitted to IIT and not a particular department or program (with exceptions in the College of Architecture and special programs), so those who do not have a planned area of study before entering choose an Undecided path between the Armour College of Engineering, the College of Science and Letters, or a General Undecided.
Pursuing either of the former two choices will allow students to take many of their general education requirements while surveying the programs that interest them. As most general education requirements and first-year pre-requisites are nearly universal to all programs, it is possible for students to delay selecting a major plan of study until their sophomore year. A path of General Undecided is for students who have no idea what they want to major in; it covers every department, including the College of Psychology and the Stuart School of Business.
Undergraduates study in six of IIT's eight academic divisions. Students are encouraged — and even required — to take courses from across the various programs to complete their degrees.
IIT offers 31 undergraduate majors, including:
