Academy of Integrated Science
Welcome to the Academy of Integrated Science,
Virginia Tech's home for cross-disciplinary scientific education!
Our two Bachelor's degree programs, Nanoscience and Systems Biology, bring together multiple areas of expertise to explore powerful new approaches to current complex scientific problems. The innovative Integrated Science Curriculum (ISC) offers a two-year deeply interdisciplinary educational experience centered on student teams working in labs and lectures. We also offer a variety of interdisciplinary minors that students can add to enhance their degree programs.
