Our goal is to offer you a graduate education that is among the best in the nation. If you join our department, our focus will be on you as an individual and on the quality of the graduate education you receive. Our graduate programs have these qualities and an excellent nurturing environment as well. We offer all the benefits of an active research and training department. With a low graduate student to faculty ratio, we are able to provide individualized attention to every student.
Students entering our graduate programs become valued members of the department.
Faculty advisors, assisted by our graduate coordinator, carefully guide and support our students through each phase of their graduate education. A multifaceted, highly interactive education takes place in small courses, seminars, group meetings, and spontaneous discussions in the labs. The success of our efforts in this process is evident. If our graduate offerings match your interests, please call us to arrange a visit to the department and the UMBC campus. Thank you again for your interest, and I wish you success in your pursuit of graduate education.
