Horrible experience. The arbitrary GPA cap forces professors to sabotage their own work. They deliberately include exam questions on stuff they never cover or in some cases have nothing to do with the class. Example: I had a question about molecular biology on a investments quiz. You rarely see what you did wrong on exams because they might need to change your score to curve under the cap. So first off, this means you don't get better because you don't know what you did poorly on. Secondly, you can... Read More get 28 of 30 questions right, but if they need to get under the cap, they'll just go back and mark some right answers wrong. If you don't know they are marking correct answers wrong, you can't file to challenge your grade. So they just won't let you see it. There is an overreliance on generic copy/paste group work assignments. This makes it easier for them to grade in segments rather than individually. This allows them to deliberately stack the deck too. For example, in the Fixed Income class, they put everyone who work in fixed income together and those without a business background together. TA's openly admit this is to make grading to the cap easier as the FI professionals are more likely to do well and those without any business background are likely to do poorly. Because there is a GPA cap, this essentially meant, the grades were preassigned before anyone did a single assignment. This is what Carey considers "rigorous." The proctoring software bugs out all the time. It's so inconsistent that some professors just choose to ignore it. The IT infrastructure is a joke. My.jhu crashes all the time. It will show courses you're not registered for, account balances for other students rather than your own. To their credit, the IT team will work hard to get it fixed, but it's always temporary. Not worth the money at all if you're not going to work in the North East where the Hopkins name has the most impact.

The rigor of my education at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) was unparalleled. I felt challenged by and hungry for the educational opportunities available at my institution. I am the daughter of divorced parents and was raised mostly by a single working mother. I also attended college during a recession. JHU took my financial background into account and supported me with Pell Grants each of my four years there. Without these grants, my education at JHU would not have been possible. I hope that other... Read More students who come from financially challenged backgrounds will not give up their hopes of attending JHU due to the high average annual cost of the education. At least in my experience, JHU made the cost of attendance there possible. With the cost of attendance under control, I was able to take full advantage of my education. I took courses beyond my area of concentration in psychology. I had internship experiences in psychology labs, and even an internship for the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee in Washington, D.C. Every day the professors, students, and experiences at JHU shaped me and expanded my vision of what could be possible in my life. I hope other young people will attend JHU and experience the intellectual challenge and the profound expansion of their worldviews.

My time at Johns Hopkins University was an incredible experience. I pursued a graduate degree later in life - after serving in the military and working in my chosen field after leaving the service. I feel the diverse demographics and academic strength of students there provided a range of perspectives in class discussions and is essential for being successful the workplace today. The courses were challenging and pushed me to excel, and the network of people and resources I have at my disposal is... Read More invaluable.

The MS in special education program tries to cater to both students who did not study education in undergrad & who do not/have not worked in a school AND to students who are already certified teachers. Because of this, some students are left behind and some are bored and being forced to repeat subjects that they have already studied. If you've never taught, this program will not leave you feeling confident to teach. If you've already taught, half these classes will be boring and repetitive and you'll... Read More wonder why you need to take most of these classes. The professors have been great but the subject matter is not adequate for those who have never taught. It's really been a disappointing experience so far.

Johns Hopkins is an institution where the quality of your education largely depends on your degree program and the teachers you learn from. While there are some courses that are led by teachers who genuinely have an interest in the success of their students, there are many others who treat teaching as a requirement to be met in order to continue their research. When faced with difficulties in my Freshman year, my advisor gave me little instruction beyond "college is hard, try going to counseling... Read More to cope". Myself and many of my peers were frequently on the brink of mental breakdowns. If I based my experience entirely off of how happy I was with classes, it would likely be 2 stars, but I was able to forge my own experiences through extracurricular activities. There are many highs and lows with JHU, just like there are with many other schools, but the best advice I can give for any incoming student would be to get to know which teachers truly care. Otherwise, you're likely to run into the teachers who think everything they teach should be obvious.

I am a FlexMBA student with a projected graduation date of May 2020. I live out of state, but I have taken courses online, as well as on-campus. As I approach the end of my first year at Carey, my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The professors are incredibly talented and influential, just as you would expect from Hopkins. The online classes are well organized and thoughtfully prepared. There are also multiple opportunities for intersession, travel abroad courses! The motto for the school... Read More is "Business with Humanity in Mind" and they really do integrate this into the coursework. Overall, I am extremely happy with my decision to attend Carey.

My M.A. in Museum Studies at Johns Hopkins University has been a great experience where I have been connecting with amazing professors and peers. The wide range of professionals students work with across the U.S. are incredible resources and the networking opportunities are endless. One of the biggest draws for me to this program, was the online format. I continue to work at the Yale Center for British Art full time, maintain my small business as a freelance Scientific Illustrator, and complete course... Read More work towards a Masters Degree all at the same time. This incredible program makes all this possible for me.

I am a proud graduate of the Great Johns Hopkins University School of Business. I received both my Bachelors and Masters Degrees there. The program was excellent and planned in such a way as to give this working mother a chance to study and graduate with Maximum learning in Minimum time. The school is well respected throughout the world and has access to the most modern equipment. The library is outstanding, in comparison to other Universities, for any research project you may undertake. I am proud... Read More of the time I spent and the education I received at the Johns Hopkins Carey School of Business. I would recommend this school to any serious academic learner.

The counseling program has some fantastic faculty members who bring a lot of experience and are also awesome teachers. There are also some faculty members who may be good clinicians but really bad teachers. Then there are some who are hired as adjunct faculty to teach some important core courses only because the head of the department loves them but they have no experience in the field and absolutely no skills in teaching - making them terrible teachers. So, it is like buying a lottery in terms of... Read More the kind of teacher you end up with which is completely unacceptable considering the costs of the lottery/per course is in thousands of dollars with little financial aid. The school administration is also very punitive hostile rigid and bureaucratic - students are afraid to speak up and do not feel supported at all which is ironical considering it is a counseling program. There are retributions for anyone who dares to question the unfair unreasonable and unfriendly approach of the administration. Expectations from students in meeting requirements are high and rigid but no reciprocal emphasis on quality or accountability for those responsible to run the program or support the students - they only preach and not practice! Some attention to quality and consistency in teaching and more importantly a change in approach to become more nurturing caring and supporting of students with some amount of flexibility could make this a great program within a great university. Until then students should find other places to spend their money and build their careers!

The Energy Policy and Climate (EPC) program at Johns Hopkins University is an excellent opportunity for those seeking a career in either climate science or energy. As the two topics becoming increasingly related, the courses strive to connect the science, technology, and policy of climate and energy in a way that is relevant to current events. The professors are highly knowledgeable, have varied academic and professional backgrounds, and are excellent resources for the capstone project. The Master's... Read More degree can be achieved on-site, online, or a hybrid of both. This flexibility is essential for those pursuing the degree while working. This program also provides a multitude of networking opportunities, with the on-site lectures located in the satellite Washington D.C. campus. The main disadvantage of the EPC program is that there is little-to-no financial aid available and the tuition increases every semester. Without aid, it becomes difficult to secure personal finances; however, the degree is an investment towards a greater earning potential.
