Admissions policies

Work experience is preferred. Please visit the program page for more details.

You can only apply to one specialty master’s program at a time. Candidates cannot apply to more than one program within the same round. If offered admission, you must accept or decline by the deadline for that round. You cannot wait to make a decision on a first offer while applying to another program in the next round.

Admission to other schools in the University

Each school at Johns Hopkins University has an independent Office of Admissions and its own application process. You must apply separately to programs housed within separate schools, although some established dual degree programs only require a single application. If you are interested in a dual degree program, please visit our dual degree page for special instructions on how to apply.

Current Carey Business School students who wish to enter a degree program at one of the other schools in the university must submit an admission application to that school. Admission to the Carey Business School establishes no claim or priority for admission to any other school in the university.
