Among the many strong departments and programs at Johns Hopkins are art history [4], biology [5], biomedical engineering [6], biophysics [7], creative writing seminars [8], earth and planetary sciences [9], economics [10], English [11], film and media studies [12], geography and environmental engineering [13], German [14], history [15], international studies, Near Eastern studies [16],public policy, political science (a term coined by a Hopkins professor) [17], and the Romance languages [18]. Notably, the Biomedical Engineering Department is widely recognized as one of the best in the nation, and the French Department was recognized as a “Center of Excellence” in the study of French culture and language by the government of France, one of only four in the United States. Additionally, the Writing Seminars department was ranked second-best in the nation by US News and World Report. Johns Hopkins also offers undergraduate and graduate degrees at the Peabody Conservatory and the School of Nursing. Through collaborations with its graduate schools and international partners, undergraduate majors in areas such as public health or international studies can cross-register or apply for accelerated programs through the Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine or SAIS’s Bologna Center in Italy and Sciences Po in Paris. This unique experience promotes research opportunities among undergraduates with leading researchers in their respective fields, a rarity among other graduate focused research institutions. Finally, the university’s rigorous academics and broad alumni base allow for easier transition to graduate school or integration into the workforce.
