JHU currently has 52 major fields and 46 minors. Students can choose majors according to their interests and career plans, and they can adjust their major at any time. Mr. Nick also particularly introduced that 60% of JHU students choose either double major or minor in addition to major. JHU is world-renowned for its outstanding achievements in the fields of medicine, public health, space science, international relations, literature, music, and art. John Hopkins Hospital (JHH), a teaching research unit of the medical school, has been named the best hospital in the United States for 21 consecutive years.

Its Paul Nietzsche School for Advanced International Studies (SAIS) is the leading international relations school.

Q&A Session

Mr. Nick introduced the basic materials and procedures required for applying for JHU, including the time limit of submitting the application, the screening criteria, and the scholarship, etc. He answered questions about admissions standards, student development, and career planning for international students in detail. At the same time, he also emphasized that "JHU advocates both rigor and freedom. We provide students with a rich internal and external arena. All clubs are operated by students, and they have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of social practice. JHU Students generally have high scores of SAT, ACT, and GPA, so we pay more attention to whether students have their own unique experience and the spirit of self-motivation, and we hope that more and more international students will join us."
