Johns Hopkins enrolls more than 24,000 full- and part-time students throughout nine academic divisions. Our faculty and students study, teach, and learn across more than 260 programs in the arts and music, the humanities, the social and natural sciences, engineering, international studies, education, business, and the health professions.
Overview
Johns Hopkins is America’s first research university, founded on the belief that teaching and research are interdependent, and that a modern university must do both well.
Hopkins attracts students with diverse backgrounds and interests. Whatever you’re into—singing or kayaking, taking pictures or building robots, discussing international relations or playing Quidditch (yes, we have a team)—there’s bound to be a group for you. We encourage our students to form their own clubs, so there are more than 400 undergraduate student-run clubs and organizations:
We have 24 varsity sports teams, and more than half of our undergrads play intramural or club sports. In the spring, everyone comes together for the nation’s largest student-run festival, Spring Fair, a three-day celebration featuring music and merriment.
Baltimore has so much to offer. Museums, restaurants, concert venues, coffee houses, and one-of-kind shops are just a short walk or a free shuttle ride away from our four Baltimore campuses.
A city with a rich history as a working-class port, Baltimore has blossomed into a hub of social, cultural, and economic activity but retains the small-town feel that has earned it the nickname Charm City. From popular tourist attractions—the Inner Harbor, the National Aquarium, or Fort McHenry (birthplace of “The Star Spangled Banner”)—to more off-the-beaten path destinations—the Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum, or the tranquil Sherwood Gardens—there is always something new to discover.
We accept applications for the fall semester from August through January (through March for transfer applicants) for undergraduate admission to our School of Arts and Sciences and/or our School of Engineering.
Community
With our main campus located in Baltimore, Johns Hopkins is truly and proudly a city resident. Our commitment to our local communities is based on the simple truth that the health and well being of the university is inextricably tied to the physical, social, and economic well being of the city in which we live. Our founder and namesake, Johns Hopkins, put forth that idea when he made a bequest to establish a university and a hospital.
As the city’s largest anchor institution, Johns Hopkins feels the constant pull of urban issues. Our faculty, staff, students, and administrators answer the call on a daily basis, in ways both large and small, from volunteering as tutors in local schools to contributing nearly $5 billion in economic output in the city.
Finances
Undergraduate students at Hopkins are admitted through a need-blind process, meaning their ability to pay is not considered as part of the admissions process, and receive loan-free financial aid packages that meet 100% of demonstrated financial need. This allows them to graduate debt-free and with the freedom to pursue whatever path their ambitions dictate.
Hopkins' generous financial aid program allows the school to provide transformative experiences for the most talented students, and, in turn, allows them to use the unique opportunities at Hopkins to make a lasting impact on the world.
