2008 - 2009 Graduate Catalog

A message to engineers, scientists, and others interested in continuing their professional development:

Welcome to the Engineering and Applied Science Programs for Professionals at The Johns Hopkins University. The Whiting School of Engineering has earned a reputation for excellence among top schools in the nation for providing advanced engineering education for working professionals. I invite you to explore our catalog and discover the many programs, certificates, and courses that we offer, both online and throughout the Baltimore-Washington region.

Our mission is to cultivate and impart knowledge in a range of engineering disciplines— fully supported by the outstanding faculty, students, and industry leaders who comprise the Johns Hopkins engineering community. Since 1916, The Johns Hopkins University has been at the vanguard of professional development in engineering. From the start, our focus has been to make engineering education accessible to our community’s workforce. Today, Engineering Programs for Professionals has grown in size and selection, now with 14 master’s degree programs to choose from as well as a number of advanced certificates.

Our programs have continued to grow and succeed as a result of our commitment to provide an education that balances the most advanced theory with current industry practices. Among our faculty are outstanding practitioners and researchers in the region’s leading private and government organizations. As industry leaders, they enrich our courses by incorporating their unique experiences as a teaching tool. Faculty ensure that our students excel in their careers by giving them the practical knowledge they need to keep abreast of current technologies and lead the way in innovation. In addition, our faculty stresses the mastery of theory, empowering students to apply what they’ve learned with a sound understanding of their fields.

This year we continue to increase our online course offerings, with more than 30 courses now online in a number of program areas.  Also, beginning this fall, a master's degree in Environmental Planning and Management will be available fully online in addition to the Bioinformatics degree introduced last year.   Be sure to visit our website to check for these and other program updates at: www.epp.jhu.edu.

At Hopkins, we believe that engineering and innovation are inseparable. In line with our vision statement, “Leadership Through Innovation,” we believe that an advanced degree through Hopkins will give our students the tools to be innovators as well as leaders in their fields.

I invite you to join the Hopkins engineering community—and challenge you to become both an innovator and a leader in your field.
