Johns Hopkins University

Lots of opportunities for different types of research with plenty of highly intelligent academics. Courses are difficult but certainly doable with a little bit of effort. Collaboration across departments and schools for multidisciplinary research was common.

The ChemBE program is one of the most rigorous programs at Johns Hopkins. It is important to have a great work/life balance at this school. Hopkins strives to meet that balance. Hopkins also strive to prepare you for your future. It has many research opportunities that people get involved in during their freshman year (myself included). The ChemBE program is perfect for those who want to push themselves beyond their limit to see what they can accomplish.

It is a great institution for higher education and the best for the biomedical field and interdisciplinary fields

I got to JHU EP Online Grad School for a Masters of Applied Biomedical Engineering. The amount of work for the classes varies between professors. But all the professors I've had thus far seem really passionate about what they teach. That helps me as a student. The online class is really well done and I have no problem interfacing with professors or other group members.

Pros: many ways to access the program (online, on-campus etc.) with many campuses for variety in location (Montgomery campus, Homewood campus etc.). Highest quality faculty with the best materials to prepare for the next generation of biotechnologists! Cons: Some faculty are also working professionals like students and therefore less accessible during work hours than full-time professors.

The Biotechnology program is very flexible- it allowed me to continue working full-time, which was perfect for me. The online classes encourage a lot of discussion and participation, and the level of discourse is high. Since the school is private, the tuition is gastronomical.

Great school, very flexible online engineering program

The school is great for people who are looking to get into public health. The downfall is that a lot of the teachers aren't very accessible so if you are struggling with coursework, they won't always be open or willing to meet with you in person. The major downfall is the cost of the institution and lack of aid available in the form of scholarships, grants, or tuition waivers. I am in a lot of debt because of this school.

I love how you can work full time while completing this program. The classes are interesting, diverse, and pertinent to the biotech industry. They are definitely tough but useful. Offering both online and on campus classes is great, but the selection for on campus is pretty limited. Overall very happy with the program.

pros: excellent professors, great library, great students cons: Baltimore is not very suitable for living

As I am just beginning my degree it is difficult rate JHU in all of the above categories. So far everything I have dealt with through the university has gone very smoothly and been very positive. I look forward to completing my education with JHU.

Allows for a balance of work with school, especially since I work in a research setting.

Johns Hopkins lives up to its reputation. You'll get a high quality education, you'll put in some hard work to earn your degree, and you'll be glad you did.

The classes are very interesting, and the professors are incredibly helpful. The classes are expensive though and financial aid/payment plans are difficult.

Phenomenal program taught by the best and the brightest. Flexible, rigorous and top-notch.

My courses so far in the Biotechnology masters program have been awesome! I worried that the online format would not be as challenging and fulfilling as in-person courses, but the online classes have given me the challenge I expected out of graduate-level courses at an institution like JHU. My instructors have been wonderful and highly accessible.

The graduate program is great, professors are easy to talk to, courses are challenging. However, the tuition cost is very high. I understand JHU is a world recognized school but I think this great education should be financially accessible to all.
