Johns Hopkins University

Johns Hopkins University opened in 1876 with the inauguration of its first president, Daniel Coit Gilman. Gilman believed that teaching and research go hand in hand—that success in one depends on success in the other—and that a modern university must do both well. In 145 years, Johns Hopkins University has not strayed from that vision. It is still a destination for excellent, ambitious scholars and a world leader in teaching and research. Distinguished professors mentor students in the arts and music, humanities, social and natural sciences, engineering, international studies, education, business, and the health professions. 

Ranked No. 17 in the U.S., Johns Hopkins University’s acclaimed engineering program prepares international students for strong STEM futures in an array of growing careers across the globe, as well as career advancement opportunities for working professionals. As the first research university in the U.S., Johns Hopkins University provides international students with a collaborative and engaging learning environment. Guided by acclaimed faculty, Johns Hopkins University is committed to providing a rich student experience filled with inquiry, rigor, discovery, and expertise. Ground-breaking research from Hopkins Engineers includes the development of a water chlorination system, the creation of speech recognition technology, pioneering work on NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, and the creation of the ubiquitous global COVID tracking map.
