Johns Hopkins University
Established in 1876, Johns Hopkins University was the first American university dedicated to advanced study and scientific research. Today, Hopkins continues as a leader in teaching, research, and community service and is the single largest university recipient of research and development funds from the federal government.
There are 10 divisions within the university. The Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the G.W.C. Whiting School of Engineering are based on the Homewood campus in northern Baltimore. The Carey Business School's administrative staff and many of its programs are located at the Downtown Center in Baltimore. Programs are also offered at campus locations in Columbia, Montgomery County, and Washington, DC. The School of Education houses its central administration and some programs on the Homewood Campus' Education Building. Additionally, it has campus facilities in Columbia and Montgomery County. The School of Medicine, School of Public Health, and School of Nursing are on a separate campus in East Baltimore, along with The Johns Hopkins Hospital, a separate but closely allied institution. The Peabody Institute, one of the nation's leading professional schools of music, is also located in Baltimore; the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies is in Washington, DC; and the Applied Physics Laboratory is in Laurel, Maryland. Academic facilities overseas are in Nanjing, China; and Bologna, Italy.

ADVANCING BUSINESS EDUCATION AT JOHNS HOPKINS
Johns Hopkins has been educating business leaders since 1916. Encouraging sound business practices and good public administration is a tradition that started when Daniel Coit Gilman, Hopkins' first president, invited Henry L. Gantt-class of 1880- to present his revolutionary ideas about management to members of the Baltimore business community.
Until recently, the university offered its business programs through the School of Professional Studies in Business and Education (SPSBE). In January 2007, SPSBE was divided into two separate schools, the Carey Business School and the School of Education. William Polk Carey, Johns Hopkins trustee emeritus and chairman of W.P. Carey & Co., a New York City real estate investment firm, presented the university, through the W. P. Carey Foundation, with a $50 million gift to support the creation of the new business school.
The school is named for William Carey's greatgreat- great grandfather, James Carey of Loudon, an 18th and 19th century Baltimore shipper, a member of Baltimore's first city council, chairman of the Bank of Maryland, and relative of university founder Johns Hopkins. James Carey is an ancestor of a number of trustees of the university and of The Johns Hopkins Hospital.
William Polk Carey's generous gift presents exciting and far-reaching opportunities. It is a catalyst that will attract additional resources needed to build and capitalize on the history and well-developed strengths of Johns Hopkins' business programs.
A NEW GENERATION OF BUSINESS LEADERS
Carey Business students are a new generation of business leaders equipped with both specialized skills and cross-disciplinary knowledge. Through programs that combine extensive theory with a wealth of work-world experience, they learn from nationally recognized researchers and leaders in their fields.
Carey Business faculty are a dynamic blend of academic experts and practitioners drawn from leading corporate, government, and nonprofit institutions, such as Bank of America, Fannie Mae, NASDAQ, Northrop Grumman, and the World Wildlife Fund. Carey students represent a diverse mix of prominent national and international employers, including Black & Decker, the U.S. State Department, Ernst & Young, IBM, and NASA.
A Carey Business education features joint or dual degrees through interdisciplinary relationships with other world-renowned schools at Johns Hopkins, including Medicine, Public Health, Nursing, Engineering, and Arts and Sciences. Because Carey Business graduates are so highly skilled in multiple disciplines, they are widely sought after by corporations, government agencies, nonprofits, and health care systems internationally, and move quickly into leadership positions.
