School Location
The Department of Chemistry & Geochemistry plays an integral role as a leader in the university's four focus areas: earth, energy, materials and environment. Our graduate programs emphasize interdisciplinary and fundamental approaches to solving real-world problems in areas such as alternative and renewable energy, bio-detection, polymer and nanoscale materials, and water quality — to name a few.

Research
Our graduate research interests lie in using fundamental chemistry to solve real-world problems, especially in the areas of environmental and green chemistry, materials and energy. Our faculty annually bring in millions of dollars of research funding from sponsors including various U.S. departments and agencies, the American Chemical Society's Petroleum Research Fund and a number of industrial partners.

Focus areas of research include:
  • Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry
  • Energy sciences
  • Environmental chemistry
  • Geochemistry and biogeochemistry
  • Inorganic chemistry
  • Nanoscale materials
  • Organic chemistry
  • Physical and computational chemistry
  • Polymers

    Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Chemistry
    The Ph.D. program requires 72 credit hours beyond the bachelor's degree, at least 24 of which must be research credits earned under the supervision of a Mines faculty member. Ph.D. students must complete three of the four core courses listed below

  • CHGN 502 - Advanced Inorganic Chemistry
  • CHGN 503 - Advanced Physical Chemistry
  • CHGN 505 - Advanced Organic Chemistry
  • CHGN 507 - Advanced Analytical Chemistry

    In Addition to above, the M.S. and Ph.D.-level seminar courses (CHGN 560 and CHGN 660). The student's thesis committee will set additional course requirements and will decide on transfer credit. Additional requirements include a comprehensive examination and the preparation and defense of a Ph.D. dissertation based on the student's research.
