Propective Students
Johns Hopkins’ graduate programs offered through the Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and Whiting School of Engineering are characterized by world-class faculty and research facilities, opportunities for students to conduct independent research and collaborate across the university’s divisions, and the ability graduate students have to work with faculty to structure individual courses of study that respond to their specific research interests and make use of the university’s breadth of resources.
Both schools are located on Johns Hopkins’ beautiful Homewood campus in Baltimore—and the graduate student community plays a vital role in campus life.
