The Johns Hopkins dual-degree MBA/MD program is structured as a five year academic program, with students as full-time members of the medical school and the full-time MBA cohort as they progress through the program.

Johns Hopkins' online Master of Arts in Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Management provides students with the leadership, management, and organizational skills needed to succeed in the nonprofit sector, both domestically or abroad. The MA in NGO Management is made up of ten asynchronous online courses (7 core courses and 3 electives). Courses focus on nonprofit leadership, grant writing, strategic planning, project management, monitoring and evaluation, resource development, social enterprise, and international mission-based work. Students complete their studies with the Capstone Seminar where they may select one of the following options a) research project/deeper dive on a relevant aspect of non-governmental/nonprofit management; b) a project that will contribute to the social sector in some capacity; or c) a remote immersive experience working with a nonprofit/non-governmental organization. With the MA in NGO Management students and alumni may work for nonprofits, non-governmental and international agencies, foundations, think tanks, educational institutions, museums, environmental organizations, human rights and animal rights organizations, or religious institutions, among others. 

Students pursuing a MA in Public Management may obtain an additional credential by completing a sequence of courses offered by the Certificate in Data Analytics and Policy. This combined credential will require students to complete 15 courses (in lieu of 17 to complete both degrees separately).

At a time when governments are faced with an array of unprecedented challenges, good management and the ability to analyze and apply data is essential. The Johns Hopkins MA in Public Management/Certificate in Data Analytics and Policy trains students in the fundamentals of public management (policy analysis, financial management, economics and public administration) along with the ability to develop actionable insights from diverse sets of data, as well as the communication skills needed to share your knowledge with decision makers and the public.

The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department takes a human-centric approach to research and education, with a focus on applications in speech processing, medical imaging, bio-photonics, computer-integrated surgery, renewable energy, human inspired electronic systems for perception and cognition, and other cutting-edge technologies that address real-world problems. Our courses cover wide-ranging topics in three broad areas: signal, systems, and control; electro-physics; and computational systems.

The Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E.) is a residential in-person program offered by the Department of Computer Science. Most students complete the program in three full-time semesters. Two semesters of residence as a full-time graduate student are required.The Master of Science in Engineering Computer Science (M.S.E. CS) is a residential program offered by the Department of Computer Science. The M.S.E. CS offers an official concentration in the only CS concentration jointly administered with the Center for Language and Speech Processing. Most students complete the program in three full-time, residential semesters of which two full-time, resident semesters as a graduate student are required. Students interested in part-time/remote (nonresidential) study should refer to the program.

Entering students are expected to have completed a program of study equivalent to that required by the B.S. in computer science. Applicants from other disciplines are expected to have coursework (or equivalent experience) in intermediate programming (C++ and Java), data structures, computer system fundamentals, and mathematical foundations for computer science. Upon admission to the M.S.E program, a student is assigned a graduate advisor from the Department of Computer Science who must approve the courses to be applied to the M.S.E. degree.

Information systems and technologies are revolutionizing the way we live and work. The rapid pace of technological advances requires a new generation of talented and tech-savvy business leaders who possess a framework of foundational knowledge to anticipate and manage change and recognize opportunities for business value creation by adapting and implementing new technologies. The Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS) program prepares students to lead IT initiatives aimed at organizational success, providing secure infrastructure platforms and breakthrough strategic advantage.

The flagship educational experience offered by Johns Hopkins University in the area of information security and assurance is represented by the Master of Science in Security Informatics (M.S.S.I.) degree. A wide range of courses is available in support of this unique and innovative graduate program.

The M.S.S.I. is a full-time day program offered on the Homewood Campus in North Baltimore. Most students complete the program in three full-time semesters though some graduate students may finish their degree part-time after completing the required two consecutive semesters of residency as a full-time student.

Students interested in pursuing the above Dual Master’s Program (DMP) will have initially entered either the M.S.S.I. program or the M.S.E. program in Computer Science, and then apply for the DMP at a later point. A maximum of two courses (approved by the advisors) can be double counted toward each set of course requirements, thereby facilitating the feasibility of completing the DMP in two academic years plus the in-between summer. In such cases, the designation of the double counted courses would be done in conjunction with one advisor from each department and the Academic Program Administrator. Note that there will be separate degrees/diplomas awarded upon completion of each program's requirements.

Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary endeavor, and new discoveries and technological advances require a variety of experimental and computational approaches. Our unique positioning within the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering and the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine provides students and faculty with opportunities to engage with other leading engineers, scientists, and physicians. Together, we are developing the disruptive technologies that will transform the practice of medicine and improve human health. Many of these technologies are currently used in the clinic to diagnose and treat diseases, from cardiac arrhythmias and sepsis to Alzheimer’s and cancer. Examples of Hopkins BME advances include new drug delivery methods, diagnostic imaging devices, artificial organs and orthopedic implants, prosthetic limbs, and patient-specific quantitative models of disease.
