Hey guys, I'm thinking about applying to Johns Hopkins but I'm not exactly sure what I want to major in yet. Can someone tell me what kind of majors they offer?
Sure thing! Johns Hopkins University offers a diverse range of majors, with strong programs spanning across the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering.
In the humanities, you might consider majors like Philosophy, History, or Writing Seminars (renowned for its emphasis on creative writing). Johns Hopkins also offers a unique program in Film and Media studies.
On the social science end, prestigious programs include International Studies, Political Science, and Economics. There's a major for public health as well, which is quite distinctive as few universities offer this at the undergraduate level.
If you're interested in natural and physical sciences, then you'd find majors like Biology, Physics, and Earth & Planetary Sciences. Notably, Johns Hopkins is often recognized for its strong program in Neuroscience.
For prospective engineers, the Whiting School of Engineering presents a variety of options such as Biomedical Engineering, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Systems Engineering.
Of course, these are only some examples, and there are many other choices available at Johns Hopkins. I'd recommend browsing their departments and programs webpage, which offers comprehensive information on all the majors and minors they offer. It's a fantastic resource to find comprehensive descriptions, department websites, and course requirements to help you make an informed choice.
