Professional Master of Science in Analytical Geochemistry

Mines Analytical Geochemistry Graduate Program is designed for both full-time students and working professionals wishing to increase their knowledge in this ever-expanding field. Students will receive instruction in the fundamentals of geochemical analysis as well as the mechanics of common techniques in data collection and interpretation, giving them the flexibility to respond to the changing opportunities in earth and environmental science.
The Graduate Program in Geochemistry is an interdisciplinary program with the mission to educate students whose interests lie at the intersection of the geological and chemical sciences. The Geochemistry Program consists of two subprograms, administering two MS and PhD degree tracks, two professional master's (non-thesis) degree programs, and a graduate certificate. The Geochemistry (GC) degree track pertains to the history and evolution of the Earth and its features, including but not limited to the chemical evolution of the crust and mantle, geochemistry of energy and mineral resources, aqueous geochemistry and fluid-rock/ fluid-mineral interactions and chemical mineralogy. The Environmental Biogeochemistry (EBGC) degree track pertains to the coupled chemical and biological processes of Earth's biosphere, and the changes in these processes caused by human activities.
