5 reasons to spend a quarter (or more) at Hopkins
With an average of 5-10 students in your classes (vs. 200 - 250 on campus), learning at Hopkins is intense, interactive, unique, and fun.
No need to worry about official office hours here—just knock on the door. With an average faculty to student ratio of 1:10 (vs 1:250 on campus) your professors will really get to know you...and vice versa.
At Hopkins, our backyard (or should we say ocean) is your lab. And that's where most of the learning happens. Discover concepts in the classroom. Walk outside and see them in action.
Our comprehensive course offerings don't just stimulate your curiosity, they fit into your major and meet many honors and ways of thinking/ways of doing requirements.
Welcome to academia. At Hopkins, undergrads get to participate in hands-on, world-class research activities in collaboration with grad students, post docs, and faculty.
