The Master of Arts (MA) in Geography and Environmental Engineering 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 MA in Geography and Environmental Engineering is a degree program open to students with undergraduate degrees in social sciences or the humanities. Three semesters of coursework are typically required to complete the degree and MA students have the option to complete an independent research project, submitted as a formal essay. Students can focus on one of the Department’s areas of interest or construct their own program that complements and expands their undergraduate experience.

Each individual’s program of study is planned by the student in consultation with department faculty and must be approved by the faculty adviser.

The MA degree is open to students with undergraduate degrees in social sciences or the humanities.

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. Those interested in part-time/remote (nonresidential) study should refer to the Engineering for Professionals Program at ep.jhu.edu.

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 Master of Science in Engineering 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.

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 department offers a variety of options to earn the master's degree, known as the Masters of Science and Engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Essay Option
Students writing an essay will successfully complete a coordinated sequence of eight courses and graduate research, and submit a master’s essay (sometimes known as a “thesis”). The degree typically requires three to four semesters of study.

There are two options to complete the essay:

• Conduct Laboratory Research
  • Work with world-renowned engineering professors by conducting original research to produce an essay worthy of publication.
  • Learn more about the Research option here!
• Work in a Cooperative Educational Environment (Co-Op)
  • To broaden the practical training for master’s students, the Institute for Nanobiotechnology (INBT) teams with companies to provide an immersive master’s industry “co-op” experience in a professional working environment. Goals and objectives are developed for the student in conjunction with faculty and INBT academic advisors, which will be used to complete the master’s essay.

The Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design (CBID), housed in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, focuses on the design aspect of Biomedical Engineering. This exciting program gives students opportunities to design, develop, build, and test devices that solve some of the most pressing problems facing clinicians today.

The mission of CBID is to:

• Improve human health by developing medical devices that solve important clinical problems
• Educate a new generation of medical device engineers and fellows
• Facilitate technology transfer and industry collaboration

In the graduate program CBID students will learn to identify clinical needs and innovate a novel solution to solve that clinical problem. Working in teams, students work closely with engineering faculty and physicians throughout the medical institution to come up with device ideas, build prototypes, research intellectual property, learn about the regulatory process, write business plans, and present their designs to fellow students, faculty, and outside advisors.

Undergraduate students in BME can also become involved in medical device design by joining an undergraduate design team which works on solving clinical problems by designing innovative devices.

Incorporated in all the BME design curriculum is a focus on technology commercialization. All students, graduate and undergraduate, will interact with clinical and corporate sponsors and have experiences that promote the development of leadership, communications, and marketing skills, thus helping to ensure our graduates’ professional success.

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 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.

The master’s degree program is designed for students who wish to pursue careers in research and development, or as a step toward Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. education. The program has two degree options: a course-based plan consisting of 30 credits and a thesis-based track that requires 30 credits plus a thesis project which is completed in a second year.
