At UMBC, laser and optical spectroscopy techniques are widely employed to investigate photoinitiated processes occurring across timescales from femtoseconds to seconds. Our laser facilities feature femtosecond, picosecond, and multiple nanosecond pulsed laser/detection setups. Raman and nonlinear spectroscopic methods are also utilized for biological imaging and atmospheric remote sensing. Time-resolved linear dichroism helps initiate and examine initial photochemical reaction stages, aiming to predict reaction topochemistry and rotational diffusion patterns. High-power lasers enable the advancement of coherent back-scattered spectroscopy for atmospheric component detection. For environmental sensing applications, time-correlated single-photon counting analyzes fluorescent polymer dynamics to decipher their response mechanisms. Multiphoton spectroscopy contributes to developing non-invasive optical techniques for early disease and cancer detection. Computational chemistry further aids in modeling terahertz spectra and understanding vibrational energy transfer within proteins.

Qualification Requirements
The Graduate School recommends applicants have at least a 3.0 GPA or B average when applying.
For transcripts from schools abroad, the UMBC Graduate School will accept official WES (World Education Services) ICAP Course-by-Course evaluations but note that these evaluations are not required.
Students who are unable to meet the minimum GPA standards may still be admitted to graduate study by demonstrating outstanding performance on one or more of the graduate aptitude tests or by providing letters of recommendation from evaluators who can speak to the applicant's performance as a student or in a professional capacity.
Standards for admission to a doctoral program are generally higher than those for admission to a master's program. The terms of this admission are based on specific recommendations made by the applicant's department in conjunction with the Graduate School.
minimum TOEFL score of 80
TOEFL Essentials test is 8.5. Our ETS institution code is 5835.
The IELTS minimum is a total score of 6.5 for students wishing to study at UMBC.
