Johns Hopkins UniversityEst. 1876

America’s First Research University

Johns Hopkins University was founded on the exploration of intellectual questions and the discovery of new ideas in every discipline.

You will become a part of this academic tradition at the Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. Together with other original thinkers from all over the globe and with world-class faculty at the forefront of their fields, you’ll be challenged not only to learn, but also to advance learning itself. 

Rigorous thinking, ethical research in settings ranging from archives to labs, and teaching that stretches minds combine to chart new territory, improve outcomes, and change lives. With more than 60 undergraduate majors and minors and 40 master’s and doctoral programs of study to explore, and a 6:1 student/faculty ratio, students at the Krieger School enjoy in-depth opportunities to explore and innovate.  

At the Krieger School, students can realize their entrepreneurial spirit, engage in cutting-edge research of their own design, and expand their learning well beyond a single discipline—and beyond the classroom.
