students often take advantage of on-campus resources outside
the department to pursue their research—both the human
resources of faculty willing to participate on advisory committees
and the vast amount of specialized equipment
available in other departments.
Graduate students have access to courses, practical
experiences, and research opportunities at other campuses
in the University System of Maryland through the University
of Maryland Graduate School, Baltimore—the university
system's doctoral research campuses in the Baltimore area.
 The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry has extensive research resources, including the following facilities: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Mass Spectrometry (MS), Optical Spectroscopy, X-Ray Crystallography, and custom glassblowing services. Please consult their website for a complete description of their facilities and research.
