\n
\n
\"Dean<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First Year Seminars<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First-Year Seminars<\/a> are intimate courses designed to help students interact closely with faculty and other students right away. Capped at just 12 students and graded satisfactory or unsatisfactory instead of with letter grades, the courses cover multiple areas of study or research. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"closeup<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Impactful Writing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Writing is not just writing. It\u2019s also critical analysis, persuasive expression, self-reflection, and storytelling. Krieger School undergraduates enhance these skills in the recently reimagined University Writing Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"candid<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A Flexible Curriculum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Krieger School students can tailor their courses<\/a> to fit their passions and goals. Students have a year to choose their major, and take courses across departments and divisions that encourage exploration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"collage<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Research and Research Labs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Students research in rare-books spaces, libraries, science labs, museums, and in the field. This can be related to Experiential Research Labs, which start in person and end with in-person trips and projects. The Office of Undergraduate Research, Scholarly and Creative Activity<\/a> and Hopkins Office of Undergraduate Research<\/a> provide year-round research resources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"JHU's<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Hopkins Semester<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Hopkins Semester is a semester-long, mentored, immersive experience for students in their junior or senior year. The first Hopkins Semester students will live in Washington, DC.<\/a> and use the new JHU building near the U.S. Capitol as a base to explore policy and international studies in one of the world\u2019s most important cities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Overhead<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Focus with Faculty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Students work closely with faculty in research in scholarly efforts at places like the SNF Agora Institute, Alexander Grass Humanities Institute, Mind\/Brain Institute, Center for Government Excellence, Center for Visual Arts, Center for Africana Studies, and more. See all of our centers, institutes, and programs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
