Johns Hopkins University is a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland. It was founded in 1876 with a bequest from the railroad investor Johns Hopkins, and was the first major American university set up primarily for graduate research and teaching on the German model. The Johns Hopkins Hospital opened a few years later and remains affiliated with the school of medicine.
The main Homewood campus in north Baltimore houses the schools of arts and sciences and engineering. The schools of medicine, nursing and public health (Bloomberg), and the Peabody Institute (music), are elsewhere in the city, with the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington, D.C., and additional campuses and centres abroad. The applied physics laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, is a large university-affiliated research centre.
Teaching is in English. Undergraduate admission is through the university's application. Tuition and aid policies are published annually.
