MSU Denver Postbaccalaureate Bridge Program

Our programs are built for people who have the passion, desire, and drive to pursue Graduate Education OR Employment in the Chemical or Biochemical Sciences and want training that will give them a competitive edge. Specifically, our programs are intentionally designed for people whose participation in critical training opportunities has been limited by resources and/or life circumstances. If you need access to well-compensated training opportunities in a safe, culturally responsive community-centered environment, then you are in the right place!

Both postbaccalaureate programs are credentialed certificate programs for students from underrepresented/minoritized (URM) groups in chemistry and biochemistry. Each program spans two full years (academic year + summers). In the first academic year, students engage in coursework at MSU Denver that prepares them for the Immersive Research/Laboratory Internship, which comprises the remainder of the programs. During the Immersive Research/Laboratory Internship, students gain invaluable hands-on experience working on-site in laboratories at our partner institutions. Each program culminates in a capstone experience that will help launch students to the next phase in their education or career in the chemical/biochemical sciences.
