Students may elect to work toward the master of science in engineering (M.S.E.) degree in applied mathematics and statistics. All master’s degrees in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics ordinarily require a minimum of two semesters of registration as a full-time resident graduate student.

The financial mathematics master’s program at Johns Hopkins is offered through the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics as a Master’s of Science in Engineering (MSE) degree. The program takes three semesters to complete, with students starting in the later summer and finishing in mid-December. Students with a strong quantitative undergraduate background are encouraged to apply for admission to the program.

The Master’s program in Financial Mathematics will provide a solid foundation in applied mathematics, providing the basis for an understanding and appreciation of existing models commonly used in financial applications and inferential and computational tools for developing their solution.  The program will also furnish the appropriate insights in Finance where quantitative skills are most germane. The combination of these elements will create a springboard for addressing today’s quantitative challenges in finance as well as provide the preparation to meet the challenges of the future.

The Master of Science in Geography and Environmental Engineering (MS) is housed in the Whiting School of Engineering (WSE) on the Homewood campus. Students in this Program have the unique opportunity to take classes on both the WSE Homewood and JHSPH East Baltimore campuses in order to complete their degree requirements.

The Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, Master of Science program is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Applied and Natural Science Accreditation Commission (ANSAC) and is designed to prepare students to pass the Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) examination administered by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH).

All Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, Master of Science core curriculum courses are offered through the Bloomberg School of Public Health, so students will need to follow this academic calendar.

The Bloomberg School of Public Health operates on a term system rather than a semester system. There are 4 numbered terms in the regular academic year as well as a summer institute and a winter intersession. The academic terms are 8 weeks in length and the institutes/intersessions are 2 weeks each. Part-time/Online Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, Master of Science students are required to come to campus for courses that do not translate to an online format (laboratory and field trip-based courses). These courses are held during the summer institute and winter intersession. Students will attend 2 summer institutes and one winter intersession over the course of their degree program.

Students must be employed in the industrial hygiene or safety fields since all students are required to complete an independent professional project as part of their degree and in most instances, this is completed at the student’s place of employment.  

Prior education must include (1) an undergraduate degree from a regionally accredited four-year college or university, (2) successful completion of college-level courses in biology, chemistry, calculus and physics.

Applicants whose prior education does not include the prerequisites listed above may still enroll under provisional status, followed by full admission status once they have completed the missing prerequisites. Courses completed at a local community college are acceptable. 

As one of the oldest and broadest fields of engineering, the mechanical engineering master’s programs offer you incredible flexibility to pursue your interests while the part-time nature of the program allows you to do so at your own pace.

Instructors are executive-level mechanical engineers who deepen your understanding of the fundamentals and introduce you to modern technologies and theories. Learn to use advanced analysis techniques, translate mechanical engineering problems into a quantitative form, and analyze experiments. You also have the option to take elective courses from other Engineering for Professionals programs—giving you the control to gain the precise knowledge you seek.

Upon graduation, you will:

• Master advanced techniques of analysis and modern tools.
• Translate practical mechanical engineering problems into a quantitative form amenable to an analytical or numerical solution, or to experimental investigation.
• Analyze, interpret, and apply the information obtained by experiment, computation, or analysis, or available in the literature.
• Choose a specialization that best fits your area of interest.
• Apply knowledge, facts, and theories immediately in your work outside the classroom.

The Data Science Master’s degree at the Johns Hopkins University will provide the training in applied mathematics, statistics and computer science to serve as the basis for an understanding, and appreciation, of existing data science tools.  Our program aims to produce the next generation of leaders in data science by emphasizing mastery of the skills needed to translate real-world data-driven problems in mathematical ones, and then solving these problems by using a diverse collection of scientific tools

The final Capstone Experience in Data Science (EN.553.806) is a research-oriented project which must be approved by the research supervisor, academic advisor and the Internal Oversight Committee.  The Capstone Experience can be taken in multiple semesters, but the total number of credits required for successful completion is six (6). The goal of the final course and written paper is to allow the student to apply data analysis techniques learned in the program, and possibly to extend those ideas to more general settings or to new application areas.  Lastly, the paper will be summarized in a poster session organized at the end of each semester.
