Johns Hopkins University was a great University for an education. It taught me how to solve various coding problems and prepared me for working on teams in the workplace. It did not do the best job at setting me up with a post college job. Everyone at Hopkins was very smart, but at times it felt like people were competing with each other. The campus is nice, but it gets old pretty fast. Lastly, I met some of the best friends I have ever had there and wouldn't have changed my decision to go.

Lots of opportunities for different types of research with plenty of highly intelligent academics. Courses are difficult but certainly doable with a little bit of effort. Collaboration across departments and schools for multidisciplinary research was common.

This program has gone down hill fast. There are some excellent teachers here (and some not so excellent) but the administrators are what makes it lousy. All classes have gone online with many asynchronous, a TERRIBLE format for a writing community. The course selection is quite limited and I’ve had to take classes I do not want, while paying an extra “technology fee” for the privilege of taking them online, just to keep moving forward. $30,000+ for a degree that feels to me like Coursera? I would... Read More

Horrible experience. The arbitrary GPA cap forces professors to sabotage their own work. They deliberately include exam questions on stuff they never cover or in some cases have nothing to do with the class. Example: I had a question about molecular biology on a investments quiz. You rarely see what you did wrong on exams because they might need to change your score to curve under the cap. So first off, this means you don't get better because you don't know what you did poorly on. Secondly, you can... Read More

On top of being a very overpriced program to begin with, almost every semester has seen price increases already to the very expensive tuition considering what the student is receiving in return. Repeated course material that is sometimes outdated. It just feels like a real slap in the face to raise the tuition after it already is very overpriced in my opinion. Try Georgia Tech 1000% before coming here, you will not regret it.

Student services are non-existent. They never answer the phone, take weeks of multiple attempts to get email responses. The classes are extremely hit or miss, and at $5000 a pop, that's unacceptable. Half of the classes I've taken were completely useless and taught me nothing I didn't already know. Some professors make zero effort and it makes me sick how much money I've wasted on pointless classes. This school just wants your money, it isn't an honor to get accepted to this program either. The majority... Read More

Hopkins is a world-class institution that did not disappoint. I absolutely loved my time at Hopkins. I received a very rigorous education with small classes, accessible professors, and engaged classmates. My classmates were extremely talented, engaged, smart, well-rounded individuals that became lifelong friends. Even with the academic rigor, I still had a lot of fun. I am very thankful for my time at Hopkins and am a proud alum!

The rigor of my education at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) was unparalleled. I felt challenged by and hungry for the educational opportunities available at my institution. I am the daughter of divorced parents and was raised mostly by a single working mother. I also attended college during a recession. JHU took my financial background into account and supported me with Pell Grants each of my four years there. Without these grants, my education at JHU would not have been possible. I hope that other... Read More

The MS in special education program tries to cater to both students who did not study education in undergrad & who do not/have not worked in a school AND to students who are already certified teachers. Because of this, some students are left behind and some are bored and being forced to repeat subjects that they have already studied. If you've never taught, this program will not leave you feeling confident to teach. If you've already taught, half these classes will be boring and repetitive and you'll... Read More

Johns Hopkins is an institution where the quality of your education largely depends on your degree program and the teachers you learn from. While there are some courses that are led by teachers who genuinely have an interest in the success of their students, there are many others who treat teaching as a requirement to be met in order to continue their research. When faced with difficulties in my Freshman year, my advisor gave me little instruction beyond "college is hard, try going to counseling... Read More

Hopkins is unique among highly-rated graduate schools. The faculty is outstanding, the programs attract the most intelligent and well-prepared applicants. I am happy with the instruction and the collegiality of the online programs is outstanding. It would be best if you bring your own funding.

The counseling program has some fantastic faculty members who bring a lot of experience and are also awesome teachers. There are also some faculty members who may be good clinicians but really bad teachers. Then there are some who are hired as adjunct faculty to teach some important core courses only because the head of the department loves them but they have no experience in the field and absolutely no skills in teaching - making them terrible teachers. So, it is like buying a lottery in terms of... Read More

The online MS program at the Johns Hopkins School of Education is a well prepared program that prepares both educators and administrators. It was a great fit for my personal goals and I was able to focus my course work on the educations areas that interested me even if they weren't explicitly spelled out in the syllabus. The instructors will work with you and genuinely care about your success.

Bloomberg School of Public Health is a great school for sharpening your research and technical skill sets for public health practice. The part time format allows for alot of flexibility in doing the program. Financial aid and support can be limited so apply early and look for many financial support opportunities because it is expensive.

I have just been accepted into the Museum Studies program at Johns Hopkins University. Throughout my application process and now after my admission the admissions office has been in contact with me consistently, offering help along the way. The program itself sounds amazing, and I am excited to start classes in the Spring. The only issue I have is that there is no financial aid packages for graduate students at JHU. I need to pay for it all on my own, or in my case, with loans.
