The JHU program leading to the Master of Science in Geospatial Intelligence provides the concepts, models, experience, and learning to enable its graduates to lead and shape this emerging discipline. The Hopkins program combines recognized faculty who have extensive geospatial experience and publication records, an innovative curriculum, and a comprehensive range of resources, tools, and opportunities for its students.

Geospatial intelligence informs and influences policy, military, diplomatic, environmental and disaster relief and recovery decisions and operations by governments at every level. Increasingly, in non-governmental sectors, it is informing and influencing public health, business, infrastructure, energy, regulatory, and advocacy decisions.

The Geospatial Intelligence Program unites three fields of study: the history of geospatial intelligence; the science and mathematics of digital geography and its related databases; and the art of converting geospatial data into written, spoken, and visual intelligence. Students analyze historical intelligence examples to understand the development of the concepts and practices behind collection, analysis, reporting, and technology. They also will focus on current challenges in the profession, among them the analytics and technology needed for the volume of current and future collection; the challenges of new sensors, and the development of new non-governmental geospatial communities.

The Johns Hopkins Master of Arts in Film and Media is tailored to students who wish to advance their current film and media career, those wishing to learn the radical changes taking place in the entertainment business, and those wanting to switch careers to the world of entertainment.

The Film and Media Master of Arts program provides an in-depth curriculum designed to develop skill sets required to succeed in the film, television, and media industries. Students are exposed to the latest technology, taught the most current financial and distribution strategies, and trained in advanced narrative techniques.

Our MA program emphasizes developing professional relationships within the film and television fields by introducing students to award-winning artists and internationally renowned industry leaders from Los Angeles, New York, and abroad, through workshops and master classes. Courses are held at the JHU/MICA Film Center, the new film studio and recording center in the Station North Arts and Entertainment District.

Students choose two concentrations from the fields of Business, Sound, and Writing. While they specialize in two of these tracks, they acquire hands-on experience in developing, shooting, editing, and marketing original film and television content in the Graduate Filmmaking Studio. This intensive two-semester studio experience, co-taught with MICA’s MFA program, focuses on the development, production, and post-production of narrative audio-visual content and takes full advantage of the Film Center’s cutting-edge facilities.

The Business track revolves around a two-semester seminar, taught by veteran development and acquisitions executives. This Fundamentals of Business seminar is structured around presentations by internationally renowned industry leaders, who—together with students—analyze case studies in the film and television industries. Students are required to develop their own business plans, investor decks, and marketing plans and present them to invited executives, investors, and entrepreneurs.

Students in the Sound concentration will acquire hands-on experience in creating and recording sound effects, dialogue, and music as it pertains to film and media projects. Leveraging the experience and resources of the Peabody Institute and featuring a new sound studio co-designed by Thomas Dolby and Scott Metcalfe, the Sound concentration provides students the opportunity to perform their audio work at the highest level.

Award-winning screenwriters and television writers lead the intensive workshops in the Writing concentration, centered on analyzing and polishing original narratives. Students create and strengthen their writing portfolios as they design, draft, and polish their feature length screenplays, television spec scripts, and television pilots. Master classes are offered by guest executives, agents, and executive producers, providing excellent opportunities to network within the industry.

The Master of Arts in Science Writing is a flexible, part-time program of online classes and face-to-face residencies, infused with the prestige, quality, and value of Johns Hopkins University.

Science writing explores and explains how our world works, and the best science writing inspires a deeper understanding, a sense of wonder or a need to act. The Science Writing Program at Johns Hopkins University strives to guide the next generation of writers and editors who will help readers learn how increasingly complex science, medicine, and technology affect our lives.

Students choose from a nine-course Master of Arts or a five-course graduate certificate. Others may seek only a course or two of interest. Brief residency courses provide face-to-face study to complement the group interaction of our engaging online classrooms. The program’s flexible part-time format allows degree completion in 18 months to five years.

The innovative Hopkins degree is based on the belief that today’s successful science writers require a working knowledge of diverse skills, from journalism and communication to multimedia and the literary arts. Students focus first on journalistic and creative writing and editing techniques to craft enticing, understandable prose for digital or print venues, from magazines and books to social media and websites for companies, associations, agencies, or others. Along the way, students acquire communication skills to promote viewpoints or write for clients, and they develop multimedia expertise to thrive in the ever-changing digital universe. All Hopkins writers and editors also are challenged to monitor science itself, to disclose how research can falter, mislead, or be misused.

The Johns Hopkins University Post-Baccalaureate Health Science Intensive Program is a unique concentration in the MS in Biotechnology program. In one year, as a full-time student, students are immersed in an innovative curriculum specifically created to help students who want to build a more competitive medical school application.

This curriculum includes the traditional advanced science academic coursework necessary to bolster academic records for a successful medical school application, along with the practical skills necessary to use them in the field, as well as the advice and mentoring necessary to be successful.

This approach is designed to help prepare students simultaneously for application to medical school and success in medical school while concurrently earning a Master of Science in Biotechnology degree from Johns Hopkins University.

There are many benefits to this curriculum. Along with attending a premier research university known for its excellence in the sciences, students take courses on a number of unique and interesting scientific topics that will strengthen and broaden their scientific knowledge. To complement the science courses, students complete three non-science courses that focus on skill building in communication, leadership-teamwork, and understanding the social and psychological determinants of health. Through group seminars and one-to-one advising, students gain a thorough understanding of the medical school application philosophy and strategy, and how to best highlight strengths.
