Chemistry and Biochemistry 2009/2010
Why study chemistry at the University of Denver?
Consider these advantages:
• excellent, research-active faculty
• small classes, personal attention
• first-rate teaching facilities
• modern equipment
At the University of Denver, we offer the training and amenities to energize your graduate experience—and help you develop into a professional scientist.
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers programs leading to MA, MS or PhD degrees in the areas of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, and biochemistry.
Our faculty members actively involve students in research programs supported with more than $1.5 million in annual funding from federal agencies, state governments and private industries. In our programs, you will enjoy the benefits of a friendly, personalized learning environment that offers nationally competitive, extremely productive research opportunities.
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry has much to offer the chemistry graduate student: close and frequent student-faculty interaction; an integrated program of courses; and excellent equipment and facilities including 500 MHz NMR, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, multiple EPR spectrometers, PiStar 180 CD/Stopped flow, ESI mass spectrometer, step-scan FTIR, photon counting lifetime fluorescence and nanosecond laser flash photolysis.
Faculty research interests encompass theoretical and experimental work in biophysical, organic, and analytical chemistry and biochemistry. The department’s relatively small size allows a broader, more interdisciplinary approach than in large departments. Our instructional format merges traditional disciplines into interdisciplinary courses that more closely reflect current trends in chemistry.
