Chemistry
Admission Requirements
Applicants must meet Graduate student admission requirements according to the Graduate Education Policies and Procedures in addition to the following requirements of the Department of Chemistry:
An undergraduate major in Chemistry or a closely related discipline is required, including two semesters of organic chemistry and preferably training in analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, and inorganic chemistry. Students missing more than one of these courses may be limited in the tracks that they are eligible to select. Students missing more than one of these courses may be provided a provisional admission. An undergraduate GPA of 3.0 (on a 4 point scale) is desired although each application is considered on its own merits.
- The GRE examination is recommended but not required.
- International students have additional admission requirements concerning immigration status, proof of financial responsibility and acceptable TOEFL or IELTS scores or completion of the CU Denver English as a Second Language Academy.
- Students currently in a BS program at CU Denver or elsewhere may want to consider the Chemistry BS/MS. This option includes the opportunity to enroll in graduate classes before enrolling in the MS program at CU Denver.
- At least 20 credits must be earned on campus. However, for the remaining courses, enrollment through CU ONLINE or on one of the other CU campuses is possible. Furthermore, the Chemistry Master's Program accepts transfer credits from accredited Universities with approval from the Graduate Program Director.
