MA/MS in Chemistry

This thesis-based master's degree extends a bachelor's education in chemistry and links molecular-level reasoning to problems from industry, research and applied science. Students strengthen skills in experimental design, interpreting data and analytical methods. The research component lets each student pursue an original project, working one-on-one with faculty. Employers in materials development, manufacturing and analysis value people who can use chemistry beyond the textbook to improve processes and products. The program is delivered on campus through the Chemistry department at Colorado School of Mines, and it reflects the school's close ties between science and engineering. A spring admission cycle applies, with separate deadlines for international and domestic applicants. Details on admission deadlines and the full curriculum are available from the program page and the admissions team.
