At the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, students learn from world-renowned experts, engage in innovative research, realize their entrepreneurial spirit, and expand their knowledge beyond the classroom.
Students to Faculty
Most classes have fewer than 20 students, and build a close personal connection with faculty.
Nobel Prize Winners
Most recently, Adam Riess, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Astronomy, won the Nobel Prize for showing the expansion of the universe is accelerating.
Students Who Intern
On average, a Krieger student has almost three internships while at JHU.
In Research Funding
JHU has been the top-funded university in federal research and development since 1979.
The undergraduate experience at the Krieger School allows students to build basic abilities that allow them to flourish and learn throughout their life.

Through a fellowship she earned while still in high school, Cleo Bluthenthal visited hospitals in northern India and Nepal to learn about health care settings abroad. While there, she became particularly interested in birthing practices. That trip, along with her broader passion for health care equity, led her to apply to Johns Hopkins. Classes that she took during her first year at JHU opened her eyes to racial birthing disparities.
“Black women risk their lives bringing life into this world more than any other demographic group. Biology doesn’t explain that,” she says.
Delving into the medical literature, she examined how high preterm birth rates are tied to high maternal mortality across all demographics, but especially in Black women. A predictive risk factor for preterm
birth is several cardiovascular conditions, with high blood pressure being the most pronounced.
Fortunately, the conditions are also readily diagnosable and treatable. Increasing access to early screening, for instance through directed funding and outreach, she says, could lead to decreases in preterm birth and maternal deaths.
Her long-term goal is a leadership role in developing integrated approaches to health and social policy that reduce inequitable outcomes for marginalized communities.
“I want to contribute to our body of knowledge so we can improve health care and refuse to allow mistreatment.”
