Prospective Students
The Krieger School of Arts and Sciences is the core institution of the Johns Hopkins complex of schools, centers, and institutes, offering comprehensive undergraduate education and graduate training in the humanities, natural and social sciences.
Why choose the Krieger School?
Whether you’re looking for an undergraduate institution, full-time graduate training, or a more flexible graduate program to suit the needs of working adults, the Krieger School provides a dynamic experience that’s all about exploration, one set on a beautiful urban campus in a diverse community of faculty and students who are, person for person, second to none.
Our mission is discovery: the creation of new knowledge through research and scholarship, and the education of our students, undergraduate and graduate alike, through immersion in this collaborative process. The school’s unique character above all derives from its commitment to choose carefully what is worth pursuing and to do so without compromise.
We strive to be the finest small research-oriented school of arts and sciences in the country and to instill in our students the highest standards of intellectual achievement and an abiding commitment to self-initiated learning and discovery.
In the Krieger School, no matter what discoveries you choose to pursue, your only limit is your imagination. Together with other original thinkers from around the globe and world-class professors at the forefronts of their fields, you will be challenged not just to learn, but to advance learning itself—and you will discover the power of your own ideas.
