Dear Illinois Tech Students,

We are excited to announce that Illinois Tech and National Louis University are partnering to offer a joint Bachelor of Science/Master of Arts in teaching program.

Students who take part in the program can earn a master’s degree and teaching license at National Louis University while you complete your bachelor’s degree at Illinois Tech. Gain the skills that you need to address the growing demand for qualified STEM educators.

Change the world for the better, one student at a time.

National Louis University’s teacher preparation program includes hands-on learning, extended field experiences, and practitioner-led courses that develop educators who make a difference.

Want to learn more? Join us for our next virtual info session on Tuesday, March 19, beginning at 12:50 p.m. Register online.

The program is open to students who are enrolled in applied mathematics, biology, chemistry, and physics, and could potentially be available for engineering and computer science students.

Scholarships are available for students in the joint B.S./M.A.T. program. Students in the program can apply for the National Science Foundation’s Robert Noyce Scholarship, which offers up to $30,000 over two years.

If you have any questions, please fill out our interest form, visit the B.S./M.A.T. webpage, or email Illinois Tech Associate Professor of Biology and Physics Andy Howard at howard@iit.edu or National Louis University Assistant Professor Visho Thamotharan at vthamotharan@nl.edu.
