The University of Denver's Master of Science in Chemistry program caters to students seeking an advanced degree focused primarily on research. Participants will develop, present, and defend a thesis of publishable quality while concentrating on their chosen research specialization. Faculty expertise spans biophysical, organic, analytical, and environmental chemistry, along with biochemistry, though students may also explore self-designed research topics.
With intentionally small cohort sizes, our graduate program fosters personalized learning through close student-faculty collaboration. Every enrolled student receives guidance from an advisory committee that oversees academic progress. Graduates emerge prepared for advanced academic pursuits or professional roles in research and industrial settings.
DU's mission centers on empowering students to achieve their fullest potential as both skilled scientists and scientifically-informed members of society. The Chemistry and Biochemistry Department features accomplished faculty committed to student-focused education and cutting-edge laboratory research.
Both undergraduate and graduate students work with advanced instrumentation while benefiting from specialized instruction and high-caliber research opportunities, equipping them for continued academic study or diverse career paths in chemistry, biotechnology, and biomedical sciences.
