约翰&霍普金斯大学（The Johns Hopkins University）同 霍普金斯大学(JHU)，是一所世界顶尖的私立大学，位于美国马里兰州巴尔的摩市。霍普金斯大学尤以其医学、公共卫生、科学研究、国际关系、文学、艺术以及众多应用科学研究领域的卓越成就而闻名世界。该校的校友中，先后有37人获得诺贝尔奖。根据美国国家科学基金会统计，在2007财政年约翰霍普金斯大学共从国家科学基金会、国家卫生研究院、国家航空航天局以及美国国防部获得超过15亿美元的科研经费，这使得它连续30年成为全美年科研经费最高的大学。截止至2008年有130名美国科学院、工程学院、医学院、文理学院院士就职于约翰霍普金斯大学。截止至2005年共有八位约翰霍普金斯大学的科研人员获得美国国家科学奖章。
约翰霍普金斯大学也是全美大学联盟(AAU)的14所创始校之一。除巴尔的摩外，该校同时还在马里兰州其他地区、华盛顿特区、意大利、新加坡以及中国设有全日制教研机构。

1873年，美国马里兰州巴的摩尔市银行家、贵格会教徒约翰&霍普金斯去世时，留下了一笔价值700万美元的巨额遗产（按购买力折算，相当于2006年的16亿美元）。遵照他的遗嘱，其遗产分别捐赠给以他名字命名的约翰霍普金斯大学和约翰霍普金斯医院。1875年，其财产托管人在巴尔的摩市中心的霍华德大街购买了第一块地皮，以此作为未来的大学校园。日，约翰&霍普金斯大学正式创立。
霍普金斯大学是全美第一所研究型大学，其目标为：&鼓励研究以及独立学者的进步，使得他们可以通过自己精湛的学识推动他们所追求的科学以及所生活的社会前进。& 霍普金斯大学的创始人希望抛弃美式学院的陈规旧制，打造一所专注于扩展知识、研究生教育和鼓励研究风气的新式研究型大学。仿照威廉&洪堡等人所倡导的以柏林洪堡大学为代表的德国大学模式，约翰霍普金斯大学是美国第一所以讨论班方式授课、第一所分专业录取本科生的大学，其理念和模式都对后来的美国大学产生了巨大的影响并为之纷纷效仿，其中的典型例子如芝加哥大学。
大学的拉丁文校训为Veritas vos liberabit（真理必叫你们得以自由，出自《圣经&约翰福音》8:32）。大学校徽的正中央为橡树枝支撑的马里兰州建立者巴尔的摩领主的家族纹章，其上的书籍和地球象征着艺术和科学研究。霍普金斯大学的首任校长是Daniel Gilman。
霍普金斯大学在美国乃至世界高等教育发展史中做出了许多开创性的贡献。开办于1878年的霍普金斯大学出版社是美国现今仍然运作的历史最悠久的大学出版社。1889年，大学建立了全美最早的护理学院之一。霍普金斯医学院是美国第一所开展研究生教育的医学院，成为日后许多医学教育机构效仿的对象。1909年，大学首倡成人教育。1916年，大学创办全美第一所公共卫生学院。20世纪五、六十年代，米尔顿&艾森豪威尔担任校长期间，霍普金斯获得了高速的发展。十年间，大学的总收入增长了三倍，捐赠额翻番。1950年和1977年，高级国际研究学院（SAIS）和皮博迪学院分别并入霍普金斯。大学进行了雄心勃勃的扩建计划，并且与华盛顿建立了进一步紧密联系。
约翰斯霍普金斯大学（The Johns Hopkins University）在2011年美国新闻与世界报道（USNews）与高等教育研究机构（QS）联合发布的USNEW-QS2011世界大学排名中排名世界第16位。在

上海交大版的ARWU2011世界大学学术排名中排名世界第18位。在英国泰晤士高等教育增刊与汤姆森路透社联合发布的THES2012世界大学排名中排名世界第14位。在最新出炉的2012美国新闻与世界报道（U.S. News and World Report）全美最佳大学排行榜中，霍普金斯大学在&国家级大学&（National Universities）中位列第13，属于全美最优秀的大学之一。
医学与公共卫生领域历来是霍普金斯大学的强项。霍普金斯医学院与哈佛医学院齐名，其布隆伯格公共卫生学院更是常年排名全美第一。泰晤士高等教育增刊评选，霍普金斯在生物医学和生命科学领域全球排名为第三。霍普金斯大学是获得美国联邦政府拨款和美国国家卫生研究院（NIH）研究经费最多的大学。作为霍普金斯大学医学院的主要教学和科研医院，约翰霍普金斯医院连续21年名列全美最佳医院榜首。
霍普金斯大学的其他学科也非常出色。学校的生物学、生物医学、生物医学工程、电子工程、计算机科学、环境工程、人类发展、家庭研究、健康科学、人文学、物理学、数学科学、国际事务等研究生专业均排名全美前列。
1999年至2009年间，霍普金斯大学在科研效价重要指标的&论文引用次数&全球排名第三，仅次于哈佛大学和德国普朗克研究院（后者为80多个研究机构的联合体）。
霍普金斯大学保罗&尼采高级国际问题研究院是全美最顶尖的国际关系学院。
霍普金斯大学皮博迪学院（即音乐系），是全美最顶尖的三所音乐学院之一。

霍普金斯的研究活动极其活跃。作为一所注重研究的学校，霍普金斯大学对培养学生的分析和理解能力十分重视。不像众多的美国研究型大学，霍普金斯大学在本科三年级阶段就要求学生选择课题，从事研究工作。无论是文、商、理、工科学生都被强烈鼓励参加科研项目，让学生较早就接触、了解和掌握前沿学科的最新动态。霍普金斯的本科生有许多机会参与重要的课题研究。约80%的本科生在校四年期间从事过至少一项独立研究，并且很多时候是与该领域的顶尖研究者合作。
为了确保学生有机会参与不同学科的研究项目，霍普金斯大学采取了两条有力的措施。一条是把各学科的班级控制在不超过50名学生的范围之内，为师生的交流，为老师指导学生提供足够的便利。在师生人数比例1：8的情况下，霍普金斯大学有足够的一流教授在课堂上和实验室里与学生一起探讨问题，一起寻求真理。
另一条是充分利用霍普金斯大学的学术威望和校友关系，为学生争取在著名实验室、医院、公司和政府机构的科研和实习机会，使他们尽早了解现实世界对他们的期望所在，同时又为学生们发挥潜能创造理想的条件。霍普金斯大学的工学院、医学院、公共卫生学院、商学院，以及国际关系学院的学生在这方面尤其受益。
与其他注重抽象性理论研究的大学不同，霍普金斯大学的研究侧重于应用性研究。在霍普金斯大学的各个学科领域，教授和学者们都无一例外地强调知识的实用价值。心理学、人类学和文化研究的教授们借助各自的学科知识，告诉学生这些知识对认识自己、互相沟通、促进了解的重要作用；工程学、医学、计算机科学的教授们则在他们各自相关学科领域，向学生传授掌握技术知识的实际本领，帮助他们到这个竞争激烈的社会里去拼搏；国际问题和经济问题专家们通过现实世界中的种种实例，让学生明白，世界上的许多争端和矛盾可以假借政治学家和经济学家的智慧和经验得到妥善的解决。由于理论知识和实际运用相结合，学生们在霍普金斯大学学到的东西相当实在，真正达到了&经世致用&的目的。
基于这一原因，霍普金斯大学对自己颁发给学生的学位证书感到极为自豪，认为霍普金斯大学的学位证书&含金量&很高，标志着学生在掌握实际本领上取得了相当程度的成绩。而一代又一代霍普金斯的毕业生们，则用他们在霍普金斯大学学到的知识、受到的训练和养成的习惯作为起点，在各自的新岗位上发挥才能，成为美国各个重要领域里的杰出人物。
据统计，霍普金斯大学的本科毕业生中，近三分之二进入研究生院或是考入医学和法律等专业学院深造。这一比例在全美大学中属最高之列。
霍普金斯医学院
尽管作为一所私立大学，霍普金斯常年获得美国联邦政府的巨额科研拨款。2000财年，霍普金斯获得美国国家航空航天局（NASA）9540万美元的研究拨款，使其成为该领域科研经费最高的研究机构。2002财年，霍普金斯成为第一所总研究经费和联邦政府研究拨款两项均超过10位数（10亿美元）的大学（至今还没有其它大学大打破这项纪录）。2008财年，霍普金斯获得来自美国国家卫生研究院、美国国家航空航天局、美国自然科学基金会、美国国防部等机构合计14.2亿美元资助。根据美国自然科学基金会（NSF）的统计，霍普金斯大学在科学、医学和工程学的研究开支连续三十年位列全球第一。
由于政府资助的对象通常是较实用且具有一定迫切性的学科，因此相对而言，人文与艺术学科获得的资助较少。尽管如此，霍普金斯的人文与艺术学科排名依然十分靠前。以人文学科为例，霍普金斯大学的写作研讨班（WritingSeminars）驰誉全美。在这个富有特色的写作研讨班里，学生们在教师的悉心指导下，认真研读英美名作家的经典之作，寻求和探索他们的写作风格和写作技巧，然后把名作家的写作方法应用于自己的写作练习之中，从中感受艺术大师的写作经验。在社会科学方面，霍普金斯大学政治系的国际研究课程不仅在该校是最受欢迎、选修学生最多的课程，而且在全国高校的同类学科中属于佼佼者。霍普金斯大学的高级国际研究学院（SAIS）成立于1943年，1950年成为约翰&霍普金斯大学的一部分，其宗旨是为&有志于在政府、国际组织、商业、银行、新闻、教育和研究机构任职的人提供研究生层次的培训&。在过去五十多年里，高级国际研究学院为美国政府和国际组织培养了人数相当可观的外交人才。
本科：医学、生物学、化学、计算机科学、生物工程、生物科学、生物医药工程、化学工程、东亚研究、英语、环境科学、历史、土木、建筑、古典文学、物质科学等。
研究生：医学、生物学、化学、计算机科学、生物工程、生物科学、生物医药、心理学、经济学、政府管理、计算机、生物学、化学、计算机科学、英语、环境科学、家庭与消费学、外国语言、会计、工商管理、商业管理等。
美国约翰霍普金斯大学图书馆360多万册系统的房子。它包括十个主要部门：霍姆伍德谢里登在图书馆，图书馆的医疗机构，在彭博学校，皮博迪学院图书馆，凯里商学院和教育学院的图书馆，学校护理学院图书馆，图书馆亚伯拉罕米利林费尔德高级国际研究学院图书馆（悉尼河和埃尔莎瓦特梅森博洛尼亚中心图书馆和图书馆），可再生能源吉布森图书馆应用物理实验室图书馆和其他小型卫星的位置，以及档案。
米尔顿艾森豪威尔图书馆学（称为&微型和小型企业&的学生），在霍姆伍德校园内，是主要的图书馆。这家超过260万册，超过20,000订阅期刊。艾森豪威尔图书馆是一所大学的谢里登在阿尔伯特图书馆阅览室吉尔曼四馆，图书馆约翰工作加勒特长荣大厦（称为学生&的小屋&），和乔治皮博迪图书馆馆藏包括摩成员弗农广场。这些集合在一起，为大学提供研究图书馆的主要资源，为世界各地的约翰霍普金斯大学的学术课程。该图书馆被命名为艾森豪威尔米尔顿学，大学及美国前总统艾森豪威尔前总统的弟弟。
只有在MSE图书馆的六层两个地面，其余的是下，虽然建筑师设计的建设，使各个层次具有窗户和自然光。与传统的校园传说的位，说不准在校园内的结构可以比吉尔曼馆，最古老的教学大楼的设计符合高。没有任何书面的规则有关建筑物高度，但是，图书馆的设计，建筑和美学时，终于在20世纪60年代建成的理由选择。2008年12月，它宣布，将增加一个新的构造直接向库南的微型和小型企业。六和半层扩建将被命名为布罗迪学习共享的大学校长William R. Brody加入荣誉，将作为&协作学习空间&。该产品预计将在2012年完成。
一个多世纪以来，约翰&霍普金斯被公认为在医疗、科研及教学方面处于领先地位。今天，约翰&霍普金斯医学组仍然闻名于世，因为它拥有卓越的医学科研人员、护士及各种临床专科的专家，此外，它还拥有一所医学院、三所附属医院和一些为本地、国内以及国外病人服务的延伸项目，是一所私立非赢利性的机构。
约翰&霍普金斯大学医学院位于马里兰州巴尔的摩市，离美国首府华盛顿特区不远。作为接受国家卫生部投资最多的单位，约翰&霍普金斯大学医学院开展了几乎所有基础科学及医学方面的研究和创新工作。除医学院外，校本部还有一所大型综合性医院，拥有日间服务中心、Bloomberg公共卫生学院和约翰&霍普金斯护理学院，共有医生、护士、技师、其他员工、学生、志愿工作者等2万5千余人。
这所忙碌的医学集团的中心是拥有1039张床位的约翰&霍普金斯医院。在过去的11年中，这所医院连续被&美国新闻与世界报道&杂志评为美国第一医院。该医院拥有数家闻名的医学研究机构，如：Brady泌尿疾病研究所、Wilmer眼科研究所、约翰&霍普金斯儿童中心、综合癌症中心等。每年，医院要接待来自巴尔的摩市及全国各地成千上万名患者，其中7000名来自国外。校本部以外约翰&霍普金斯医疗机构包括约翰&霍普金斯Bayview医疗中心、Howard县综合医院（230张床位）和分布在巴尔的摩市的几所日间服务中心。约翰&霍普金斯Bayview医疗中心拥有病床653张，由一所教学社区医院、马里兰州唯一的烧伤中心、睡眠障碍研究中心、约翰&霍普金斯老年病中心组成。
医学院有近2000名医生，他们同时又是医学院的教研人员，从事研究工作。还有3300名护士以及2600名实习生、住院医生、医学生、研究生和博士后在协助他们开展工作。
自120年前约翰&霍普金斯作为美国第一家按欧洲模式建立的研究性大学成立之日起，它就具备了国际合作的传统。如今，在约翰&霍普金斯国际组的支持下，约翰&霍普金斯医学组参与了多项国际性投资项目。其中，最主要的就是与新加坡政府和新加坡国立大学合作的新加坡&约翰&霍普金斯项目，至今已开展了4年。它是巴尔的摩以外第一家按照约翰&霍普金斯模式建立的集教学、科研和医疗于一身的机构。新加坡&约翰&霍普金斯项目的重点是肿瘤及其他本地健康问题的研究。约翰&霍普金斯国际组还利用约翰&霍普金斯人员的知识与经验为世界范围内的医疗卫生组织提供咨询。
这些国际合作项目，正如今天的合作一样，都证明了约翰&霍普金斯医学组诚挚的承诺，那就是：与全世界的同道们分享知识，不断创新，为人类创造一个更加健康的未来。
北京协和医学院（Peking Union Medical College,PUMC）是洛克菲勒基金会（旧又译：罗氏基金会）在中国最大、最著名，也是它最得意的一项投资，北京协和医学院从1915年起开始筹建，1916年选址动工，1921年举行落成典礼并正式命名。它将美国当时最先进的约翰斯&霍普金斯医学院的教学计划和办学经验移植到中国来，把培养高质量、高水平的医学人才作为办学宗旨，形成一整套独具特色且行之有效的教学制度和方法

尽管中文习惯上称其为约翰（John）霍普金斯大学，大学的正确英文拼法应为&约翰斯&霍普金斯大学&（The Johns Hopkins University）。Johns这一罕见的名字来自捐资人霍普金斯的曾祖母玛格丽特&约翰斯（Margaret Johns）的姓氏。这个姓氏被霍普金斯家族作为名字传承了下来。
Johns这一拼法极其少见，即使以英语为母语者也经常将之与John（约翰）混淆。大文豪马克&吐温就曾于1888年在一封写给朋友的书信中，以揶揄的口吻建议霍普金斯大学改名：&&&他们（指大众）可不会对一所连约翰这名字都写不对的学院充满信心。&让马克&吐温不曾料到的是，一个多世纪后的今天，这所当年曾被他调侃的大学不仅依旧保留着创始之初的校名，并且已成为全美乃至世界最顶尖的大学之一。

Johns Hopkins University Introduction
If one were to poll the 1,200 students in Johns Hopkins University&s most recently admitted class, virtually every individual would name a different reason for selecting Hopkins. Some would doubtlessly cite top-ranked programs and world-class faculty, while others might offer up the lush campus grounds, the startling variety of activities, or simply the &feel& of the place. Contrary to popular opinion, there isn&t only one select type of student who finds Hopkins fascinating. Similarly, there isn&t only one select type of student for whom Hopkins is an excellent fit. While the university continues to conduct leading work in the field of medicine, budding scientists and future physicians are not the only intellectuals best served by the unde in fact, prospective students do themselves an injustice by stopping there! With numerous well-respected (and highly ranked) programs in the Humanities, the Social Sciences, and Engineering, a Johns Hopkins education promises excellence in every discipline.
Founded in 1876 by railroad magnate and philanthropist Johns Hopkins, the institution was the first of its kind in the United States. Curiosity and independence were the watchwords for this new establishment, headlining a tradition of exploration and inquiry that continues even more strongly today. Material examples of this educational philosophy are evident in the university&s open curriculum, the availability of undergraduate research opportunity, and the amalgam of student organizations, ever in flux. This philosophy encourages students to take responsibility for their own education in a uniquely powerful way&those who are willing to ask questions and to dig deeply make the most of the Hopkins legacy.
The Campus
Hopkins undergraduates spend the majority of their four years on the Homewood Campus, a 140-acre swath of green in northern Baltimore City. Only three miles from the city center and tourist district, bordered by two busy thoroughfares, Homewood is an accessible, urban campus with a surprisingly rural feel. Georgian structures and fleets of sweeping marble stairs lend a collegial uniformity to the extensive, pedestrian grounds. Dotted with lampposts and a variety of flowering trees, the campus is an aesthetic triumph (and as such, is often a surprise to visitors expecting the raw, the gritty, or the hectic). Boasting a modest population of approximately 4,700 undergraduates, Homewood houses both the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the Whiting School of Engineering. Relatively compact departments and their corresponding faculty cohorts create an intimate learning environment, lending courses the air of a much smaller liberal arts college.
The Hopkins Umbrella
Still, don&t be fooled! New arrivals to Homewood will soon discover what locals have learned long ago: the &Hopkins umbrella& stretches far and wide, encompassing a good deal of Baltimore and the world beyond. Free shuttles run from Homewood to the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and the Bloomberg School of Public Health in East Baltimore, after making a stop at the Peabody Institute Conservatory of Music just south of campus. The Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (also known as SAIS) is based in Washington, D.C., and maintains campuses abroad in China and Italy. Students also have access to the School of Education, The Carey Business School, and finally, the Applied Physics Laboratory. Some of these divisions offer specific undergraduate programs, while the remainder provides opportunities for post-graduate studies, independent research, or employment. Ultimately, no interdivision however, if a student seeks adventure away from the Homewood quads, the rest of the university and all of its resources are waiting. At Hopkins, students need not choose between the rural or urban, th the university somehow manages to provide and to be something slightly different for everyone. With that said, be forewarned: Hopkins students don&t view these, or any other defining features, as &compromises.& They fully feel as though the best of all worlds is accessible.
While most alumni would probably agree that Hopkins provided well for them both academically and socially, the university isn&t resting on its laurels. Within the past several years, eight new buildings have been added to campus and several additional initiatives are well underway. From Clark and Hodson Halls to state-of-the-art new chemistry and computational sciences buildings, facilities for research and teaching have grown larger and glossier. Through the construction of the new arts and recreation centers, the rich extracurricular lives of Hopkins students have been not simply acknowledged, but comm their existence makes good on the notion that a Hopkins experience isn&t solely academic. Mason Hall, a new quad area, complete with academic facilities and the university&s visitor center, and Admissions Office fleshes out the south end of campus.
All told, these additions are indicative of a reflective, self-evaluative university that doesn&t feel immune to critique. Hopkins embraces change per se, but perhaps more importantly, recognizes the need for an evolution that builds upon distinctive features and existing traditions. As noted by the second president of the university, Ira Remsen, in regard to campus construction, &[o]ur general plan should determine the style of architecture and arrangement of buildings appropriate to the gradual development of the campus so that in years to come the groups&will form a symmetrical whole.& This passage is easily applied to the in reinventing its various parts, attention to the greater whole&the bigger picture&isn&t just a priority, but a consistent practice.
Johns Hopkins University Academics
Within the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering, the philosophy of education manifests itself in numerous ways. Students are given the opportunity to both focus and expand their academic interests through traditional coursework, independent research, internships, and study abroad experiences. In and outside of the classroom, within Maryland or overseas, Hopkins students are hard at work fulfilling the mission of JHU&s first president, Daniel Coit Gilman: &[t]he object of the university is to develop character& Its purport is not so much to impart knowledge to the pupils as to whet the appetite, exhibit methods, develop powers, strengthen judgment, and invigorate the intellectual forces.& Once students have gained admission to Hopkins, it&s up to them to best utilize what they&ve earned.
Open Curriculum
At Hopkins, work within the classroom is divided into two loosely defined areas: departmental requirements and distribution credits. Unlike many of its peer institutions, Hopkins doesn&t instate any type of core curriculum. The only &must-take& classes fall within students& self-selected majors or minors, allowing individuals the opportunity to craft a changeable course of study that meets their needs.
Major and Distribution Credits
With thirty-seven majors in Arts and Sciences, thirteen in Engineering, and forty minors ranging from Ancient Law to Theatre Arts and Studies, students have a great deal
however, due to the absence of a core curriculum, most aren&t limited to one field or one major. More than two-thirds of Hopkins undergraduates complete a double major or minor in four years. It&s also very easy to shift between majors or schools if the need arises. As Hopkins students become accustomed to the wide variety of academic options at their disposal, changes inevitably occur.
While majors and minors encourage intellectual focus (and occupy the majority of students& time and energies), part of an average semester is usually given over to &distribution&credits. These courses, taken in areas outside of the major field of study, provide the opportunity to expand and explore. Though technically required, they maintain balance in a curriculum, offering the new, the diverse, and the challenging.
Consequently, students do receive a liberal arts education at H however, their collective experience is marked by greater freedoms and increased autonomy. The structure is there, but the specifics are up to them.
Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory
Another way in which the university encourages academic investigation is through its current system of covered grades.
During the first semester of freshman year, students will register for and participate in courses as however, the final grades they receive will be covered, appearing on their transcripts as either &S& or &U,& &satisfactory& or &unsatisfactory.&The rationale for this system is twofold: first and foremost, it encourages freshmen to sample a diverse array of courses without the threat of poor performance as a deterrent. Second, and perhaps more subtly, it supports the notion that college isn& it is an all-consuming, holistic experience and it should be treated as such. The first semester of freshman year is filled with stimuli. There are friends to meet, clubs to join, a campus to comprehend, and a city to explore, not to mention a series of rigorous courses with which to grapple. &S/U& allows students to enjoy the immersion process while slowly, humanely, preparing them for their next seven semesters.
There is little doubt that the average university student could be kept busy with courses alone, yet would class hours, problem sets, exams, and papers really provide enough intellectual fodder for the Hopkins undergraduate? From the look of it, apparently not&more than two-thirds of JHU students will conduct meaningful research by the time they graduate.
Research is the real meat of the undergraduate diet. Substantial, sustaining, it isn&t just theorizing&it is the direct application, the fleshing out, of those theories. With a broadly based definition encompassing classical laboratory work, self-crafted classes, honors theses and capstone projects, internships, and study abroad experiences, an independent research opportunity is one of the university&s signature offerings. Hopkins undergraduates can become engaged in research as early as freshman year and in every major. Academic advisors, faculty, and departments all help students find topics and projects right for them. While some students choose to contribute to the work of a professor or colleague, others design their own projects with assistance from a faculty mentor. Many undergraduate research projects are realized with help from fellowships, grants, and additional funding. Incoming freshmen have the opportunity to submit proposals for a Woodrow Wilson Undergraduate Research Fellowship when they apply for admission to the university. If selected, students receive a stipend of up to $10,000 to conduct original work. Current scholars benefit from the Provost&s Undergraduate Research Awards (PURA), a program that sponsors around fifty students a year and provides grants of up to $3,000. Although these are only two examples, they demonstrate the administration&s serious dedication to undergraduate research, both in theory and in practice.
Examples of Undergraduate Research by Department
&&Anthropology: Women&s Movement and Reproductive Health in India
&&Civil Engineering: The Qualifications of 19th-Century American Truss Bridges as Structural Art
&&Film and Media Studies: &2:37 A.M.& A Film
&&History of Art: Visions of the Virgin
&&Near Eastern Studies: &The Investigation of New Kingdom Occupation at the Temple of Mut in Luxor, Egypt&
&&Neuroscience: The Role of Perivascular Cells in HIVAssociated Dementia
&&Political Science: Thwarting the Terrorist Threat: Lessons from the Israeli-Turkish Experience
&&Writing Seminars: &Lost Writers and their Lost Works&
Internships, Study Abroad, and Intersession
Though internships and study abroad experiences aren&t commonly categorized as research, they do incorporate the element of experiential learning so critical to a Hopkins education. By investigating a profession or exploring a city, a country, or a culture, Hopkins students can test what they&ve learned in the classroom through direct, on-site application.
The Office of Academic Advising and the Career Center each provides resources for students interested in pursuing formal internship programs or more casual career exploration. Examples of recent internships include work at the American Enterprise Institute, Microsoft, Amnesty International, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, National Public Radio, the United States Congress, the World Health Organization, and Yahoo Inc. Internships can be conducted for university credit, for a salary, or simply, for the experience itself.
Study abroad opportunities, like internships, are easily coordinated and readily available. Hopkins students can work with the Office of Academic Advising or organize som with several campuses abroad and more than 300 students living and working overseas each year, the university maintains a highly respected international presence. For those students who feel as though adequate time for these options isn&t available during the academic year, Intersession provides an excellent outlet. Similar to the&J-Terms& or &Wintersessions& offered at other institutions, Intersession is a three-week block of time tacked onto the end of mid-year vacation. Students can st however, a good number choose to return to campus. One- or two-credit classes are offered, allowing students to lighten their cou recreational courses are also available, along with time for research, internships, or short study abroad adventures. Popular offerings include a renaissance art program in Florence, Italy, a behavioral biology trip to the Galapagos Islands, and a financial course that culminates in a trip to New York City.
Johns Hopkins University Admissions
Over the past several years, the number of applications submitted to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions has increased approximately fifty-two percent, making the highly selective process that much more challenging. Still, gaining admission to Hopkins isn&t impossible and numbers aren&t everything. In order to matriculate a highly diverse and wellcrafted class each year, Hopkins admissions counselors have the luxury of reviewing each applicant individually. A 4.0 GPA and flawless standardized testing won&t students must demonstrate a promise of contribution in and outside of the academic arena. From artists and athletes to class leaders and community citizens, students with commitment and passion consistently prove most successful in the application process.
Prospective students have several application options and submission deadlines from which to choose. Hopkins accepts its own application, as well as the Common and Universal College A all are available online and in paper form. Similarly, students can choose between an Early Decision and a Regular Decision program with deadlines of November 1 and January 1, respectively. While Regular Decision is much more flexible, Early Decision is binding, and thus best suited to those students who are sure Hopkins is their top choice. Applications are evaluated using a number of specific components, some more academic and others more extracurricular in nature.
&&Within the academic sphere, the transcript will prove the most helpful. Not only will it demonstrate how well a student has done, but also (and perhaps more importantly), it will indicate how challenging that student&s course load has been. Raw grades and class rank don&t
an assessment of rigor, or difficulty, in a curriculum demonstrates that student&s investment in the act of learning.
&&Standardized testing is also considered an academic component. Though by no means the final word on a student&s intellect or abilities, the SATs and ACTs provide some consistency between applicants.
&&The summation of extracurricular involvement is weighed very significantly in the selection process. While some students choose to use the space allotted in the application to detail their activities, others enclose a resume or extended list. Regardless of the method used, this description of involvement is an essential indicator of contribution at the collegiate level. The admission committee is looking for variety and diversity of activity, but also for leadership and commitment.
&&Required essays, of late, have taken on a creative bent. The most recent offering is the following: Communities define our lives. Those you were born into, those you make yourself, and those you fall into by accident&communities of all types influence us and help shape us. Describe a defining community in your life and what it means to you. While this topic is certain to be exchanged for another eventually, the focus on originality and creativity will remain. Essays are the best opportunity to share something new or something unique that may not be readily available in other parts of the application. While admissions counselors hope to see strong writing, they are most concerned with content.
&&Two recommendations are required, one from a teacher or instructor and one from a guidance counselor. These should supplement the essay in detailing the character of the applicant.
Keep in mind that the admissions committee takes great care to understand the differences between schools, towns, states, and regions. Not every student has access to th all the committee asks is that an individual has delved deeply in that which is available.
Financial Aid
Though a Hopkins education could hardly be called inexpensive, the Office of Student Financial Services seeks to make the experience affordable for students and their families. Forty-eight percent of all undergraduates receive some kind of financial assistance. The university is committed to funding as much of a family&s &demonstrated need& as possible, a figure determined using national and institutional criteria. Although the majority of aid offered is need-based in nature, limited merit scholarships are available. Approximately twenty Hodson Trust Scholarships of $25,500 are offered each year, along with two full-tuition Westgate Scholarships for engineering students. The university has also recently partnered with Baltimore City public schools in offering full tuition scholarships to eligible city students admitted to the university who are also city residents.
Johns Hopkins University Students
Clubs and Organizations
With more than 350 clubs and organizations from which to choose, students are provided with everything and anything extracurricular. Offerings range from publications to political organizations and from cultural and religious groups to club sports teams and community service. Like their varying memberships, these activities reflect the diversity of the Hopkins community.
Founded, led, and governed by students, these organizations, not surprisingly, retain a great deal of autonomy. While there should be something for everyone, in the event that there isn&t, any group of students, large or small, can request funding to begin a club of their own. As a result, the greater body of extracurricular activities is ever evolving. Introduced at an expansive, open-air fair that traditionally follows the week of freshman orientation, student groups vie for the attention of new members.
Arts and Music
With Peabody Institute just down the road and the Mattin Student Arts Center located right on campus, students are surrounded with opportunities for the fine arts at Hopkins. Although Peabody does offer several options for undergraduate degrees, interested students are able to pursue coursework, ensemble participation, and private lessons in a more informal way. Membership in the Hopkins Symphony Orchestra, the JHU Band, the assortment of a cappella groups, and other music organizations on campus is a popular pursuit and generally available by audition. In addition, concerts given at Peabody and at Homewood are available for Hopkins students free of charge. The Mattin Center provides an assortment of art and dance studios, a black-box theater, darkrooms, a digital media lab, music practice rooms, and multipurpose meeting space for student groups. From the Hopkins Studio Players and Witness Theater, to the Gospel Choir and the Indian Cultural Dance Club, the variety of organizations dedicated to the arts fosters Homewood&s collective creativity.
Campus Events
On several occasions throughout the academic year, Hopkins students convene as a community to learn, to listen, and on many occasions, to kick back and relax. On balmy days in the fall and spring, &the Beach,& an extended, grassy space between the library and North Charles Street, is packed with students. Armed with blankets, books, radios, and Frisbees, groups convene to soak up the sun en masse. The Hopkins Organization for Programming, or the HOP, brings comedians and other performers to campus, while coordinating with Student Council to organize casino nights, club nights downtown, and concerts. Friday Night Films shows movies, often working in conjunction with the JHU Film Society.
Incoming students and upperclassmen alike anticipate Orientation, a week-long affair that precedes classes. Organized by a large executive staff and several hundred volunteers, its academic sessions and social events are well attended by all. The fall semester also witnesses a weekend-long Fall Festival, plus Culturefest and the Milton S. Eisenhower Symposium. Culturefest, a week-long series of lectures, discussions, and social activities, seeks to promote appreciation for diversity and tolerance, while the M.S.E. Symposium, the longest student-run lecture series in the country, increases campus and community awareness of national issues. Recent topics have included: &The Great American Experiment: A Juxtaposition of Capitalism and Democracy&; &Rebuilding America: Peace and Prosperity at What Price?& and &A More Perfect Union: Partnership, Progress and Prosperity in a Changing America.& Past speakers have included Maya Angelou, Rubin &Hurricane& Carter, Ann Coulter, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Patricia Ireland, Spike Lee, Nelson Mandela, Bobby McFerrin, Michael Moore, Will Ferrell, and Valerie Plame Wilson.
The second semester at Hopkins is equally full as activities capitalize on Baltimore&s temperate climes. Students enjoy socializing at Spring Fair, an enormous student-run carnival complete with rides, &fair food,& craft booths, and live entertainment. The complexity of the event&s many components requires assistance from a staff of sixty coordinators and more than 200 student volunteers. Traditionally following Fair weekend, Homecoming brings generations of alumni back to Homewood. Convening for brunches, luncheons, the big game, and a good dose of nostalgia, families and friends mingle with current students in celebrating Hopkins.
Greek Life
With eleven fraternities and twelve sororities, the Hopkins Greek System and its process of rushing and pledging is much more of a &match to be made& rather than a means of establishing one&s social status. Events are usua weekend fraternity parties and community service activities include members and nonmembers alike. While naturally these groups attract different types of students and boast varying campus reputations, all seek to serve their members through academic, social, and communityminded outlets. As such, they provide well for those students seeking a G however, rarely is being &Greek& all that one is or all by which one will be defined.
Residences
For a student&s first two years at Hopkins, on-campus housing is required and guaranteed. As a result, social activities tend to revolve around, or at least stem from, life in the dorms. Students are able to select their preferred living arrangements from a series of options: basic doubles, singles, and suite-style rooms are available during the first year, while larger apartments supplement the second year&s offerings. During this time, individuals live, dine, study, lasting friendships are made, strong social networks are formed, and commonalities are discovered, even between the most disparate of personalities. With the advent of junior year, most students move off campus to apartments or row houses with friends. Though university-owned housing is available, the Off-Campus Housing Office is accessible to assist students. Few residences are more than two or three blocks from Homewood, encouraging continued involvement in club meetings, concerts, sp
