Major and Minor Options at Johns Hopkins?

I've always been interested in diverse fields of study and wanted to make the most of my time in college. So, I'm curious as to what the major and minor options at Johns Hopkins University are. Any info on flexibility of combining majors/minors, or unique programs offered?

Johns Hopkins University offers a variety of majors and minors in an array of disciplines. This is wonderful for students like you who are interested in diversifying their academic experience.

You have the opportunity to pursue two related or disparate fields courtesy of the dual major program. This allows students to combine their interests effectively. It's essential, however, to remember that managing two majors requires a lot of hard work and careful planning to meet all the academic requirements for both fields of study.

Something unique to Johns Hopkins is the ability to 'create your own' major. You have to petition for this, and it usually involves weaving together courses from different disciplines into a cohesive program of study with faculty support.

In terms of unique programs, Johns Hopkins is quite well-known for its programs in Public Health Studies and International Studies. Additionally, its Biomedical Engineering program is considered one of the best in the nation. Yet, the university offers a range of majors in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering disciplines, providing students with a wide scope when it comes to choosing their major.

For minor programs, there is also a considerable diversity. From Visual Arts to Theatre Arts & Studies, from Marketing & Communications to Entrepreneurship & Management, there's plenty on offer.

Keep in mind though, the course combination may not always go hand in hand. For example, some courses in the same subject may overlap, so you may not be able to minor in the same subject as your major. It's always a good idea to reach out to the academic advising office at Hopkins as they can provide specific information about the feasibility and the pathway for the combinations you are looking for.
