We require a one-page résumé that highlights your academic background and professional experience in a clear, concise, and results-oriented format. Your résumé should be organized in reverse chronological order and include both the months and years for each position or internship.
We recommend emphasizing your quantifiable achievements, demonstrated leadership, and impact—rather than simply listing job responsibilities. Tailor your résumé for business school by showcasing contributions that reflect your potential as an MBA candidate.
Your résumé should complement, not duplicate, your essays and application. Use it to showcase the broader story of your career progression, decision-making, and readiness for graduate study.
Use clear section headings, professional font (10–12 points), and consistent formatting throughout. Be sure to proofread carefully to eliminate any spelling or grammatical errors. This is your opportunity to provide the admissions committee with a concise snapshot of who you are and the impact you’ve made—make it count.

Teaching & Learning supports many learning technologies and has provided a collection of articles and resources to assist instructors.
As you access these guides, please remember the most important rule to implementing new tools is that they serve a purpose or support students in reaching course learning objectives.
If you would like to discuss how to best incorporate a tool into your facilitation process, have a question about what tool might best serve a particular goal, or have a question that these resources do not address, please contact Teaching & Learning.
Teaching with Canvas
In 2022, Johns Hopkins University transitioned from the Blackboard Learn learning management system (LMS) to Canvas.
In May 2023, Blackboard access was sunset, so our team does not have any real way to recover materials that were not saved locally or migrated.
Canvas, like all LMSes, is not going to be a one-size-fits-all solution for learning, and sometimes other technologies need to be incorporated. It’s best to think of Canvas (like Blackboard before it) as a hub or jumping-off point for learning, student resources, and content.
Information to get you started:
-
In order to sign into Canvas, you will need to do the following:
1. Access Canvas (canvas.jhu.edu).
2. Select JHU Login.
3. Continue through the JHU Single Sign On process, logging in with your JHED ID.
4. After successfully signing in, your Canvas Dashboard will appear.
-
When a course is created by SIS, it is made Unpublished by default. Once you have added any additional users and materials to your course, you will need to make it available, by doing the following:
- Access your course.
- You can see the publication status of your course in the Course Status options.
3. Publish your course by selecting Publish.
4. Your course will then be available to students. Although you can unpublish courses, it is best to make sure that your course is in the desired format to avoid confusion.
Carey asks that instructors open their courses to students 2 weeks prior to the term start. (Note: Not all materials need to be available to students at that time.)
-
You and your students will be automatically enrolled into your course through SIS; however, teaching assistants (TAs) and other members of the course must be manually added to courses.
1. Access your course and navigate to the People page.
2. Select the + People button.
3. Enter the email address of the user you would like to add, select the correct role, and choose Next. If you are adding more than one user, enter a comma between each address.
4. Once Canvas finds the users, it will confirm that you may add them to your course. Select Add Users to confirm their addition to your course.
Note: If someone needs access to the course in the Teacher or the Student role, this must be done through SIS. Please consult the list of Canvas roles for information about the different roles and what might work.
-
The Johns Hopkins University migration team has developed a series of guides for instructors and TAs. More information, including how to copy a course from a prior (or concurrent) Canvas section, can be found in the Getting Started for Faculty Canvas guide.
Setting up your course
-
Announcements are a great way to communicate with students while also creating an artifact that students can access later. To post an announcement:
- Navigate to your course and access the Announcements page.
2. Select +Announcement.
3. Give the topic a title, and input your announcement.
4. You may delay the posting until a certain date, or not select this and instead select Publish to immediately post the announcement.
5. Depending on your students’ notification settings, this announcement will be sent to their email. There is no way to force-send the announcement, but this is the default setting.
-
Over the course of the term, you will likely need to share information with students. This can be done with a Canvas page. To create a Canvas page:
1. Navigate to your course and access the Modules page.
2. Find the module in which you would like to place the content.
If you have not created a module, you will need to do this first.3. Select the Add Item button (the plus sign).
4. Select Page from the Add drop-down menu.
5. Select Create Page and give it a title.
If you had previously created a page, you may select that and proceed.6. Select Add Item.
7. Provide the content you would like to add to this page. You may add multimedia or any other materials you choose.
8. Select Save or Save & Publish.
9. If you do not publish the material now, you can do it later by selecting the Publish checkmark.
-
You may wish to have students submit assignments through Canvas. This allows organized collection of materials and will allow you to use the Canvas grade center. To create an assignment:
1. Navigate to your course and access the Modules page.
2. Find the module in which you would like to place the content.
If you have not created a module, you will need to do this first.
3. Select the Add Item button (the plus sign).
4. Select Assignment from the Add drop-down menu.
5. Select Create Assignment and give it a title.
If you had previously created a page, you may select that and proceed.6. Select Add Item.
7. Provide the content you would like to add to this assignment page. You may add multimedia or any other materials you choose.
8. Provide any of the assignment details, including due date and point totals.
9. Click Save or Save & Publish.
10. If you do not publish the material now, you can do it later by selecting the Publish checkmark. Make sure the module is published. If it is not, you will need to do so before this content is visible to students.
-
More information for getting a little more involved in the Canvas environment, including how to manage your course due dates and run a SIS grade import, can be found in the Setting Up Your Course Canvas guide.
-
Gradebooks in Canvas are slightly different from those in Blackboard, so it is important to familiarize yourself with how this tool works.
Accommodations or Altering Due Dates/Times
This guide cannot be found in the JHU Canvas guides, but is important nonetheless. Students may require extra time or other considerations during assignments or quizzes.

Proctoring isn't always going to give the most genuine assessment of learning outcomes. If you’re interested in alternatives to proctoring, please schedule a 1:1 at carey.learning@jhu.edu for additional information.
Academic Integrity
-
Turnitin is a plagiarism detection tool. By design, this tool compares student submissions against a vast database that includes academic papers, websites, books, and other sources to identify potential unoriginal content.
Key points for faculty:
- The Similarity Score: The Similarity Score does not definitively indicate plagiarism. It only identifies text that matches with other sources. Faculty should review these matches to determine whether it constitutes plagiarism or is a correctly cited source.
For more detailed understanding and resources, please visit the Turnitin User Help Page.
-
Receiving a problematic RPNow Report indicates that there might have been some issues or violations during an online proctored exam.
Here are the next steps faculty should take:
- Review the Report: The report will detail the problem, which could range from technical glitches to potential academic misconduct. Reports can be accessed through the Faculty Registration Page in the course modules section.
- Take Appropriate Action: Depending on your findings and the severity of the violation, decide on the appropriate course of action. This could include reaching out to the student to give a warning, deducting points, failing the student for the exam, or escalating the issue to the Academic Ethics committee.
- Review Exam Procedures: If the issue was related to the proctoring system itself, consider reviewing the procedures or providing additional instructions to prevent future issues. You can contact Teaching & Learning staff to discuss changes to the exam profile or other test settings.
-
The Whiting School of Engineering has created a great AI resources webpage, which we recommend reviewing if you are curious about generative AI.
For any questions about Carey’s AI policy, faculty can reach out to the Office of Student Affairs at Carey.Student@jhu.edu with any general questions about academic integrity.
For more information about next steps should you suspect academic dishonesty, please refer to the Academic Ethics Policy.

*This is a sample program plan that is subject to change.
-
Yes, both programs are 36-credits include the Financial Econometrics area of concentration which is STEM designated.
-
Yes, the 12 and 15-month programs have the same curriculum that includes the CFA Institute’s Candidate Body of Knowledge, preparing you to sit for the CFA exams.
-
The 12-month and 15-month versions of the program are each taught at both of our locations. You must submit an application to one version of the program at one location. You may not apply to multiple versions of multiple locations at the same time.
-
The 15-month program is ideal for those who plan to use the summer to gain practical experience rather than taking Carey courses. This may include participating in consulting projects with community businesses, joining travel-based leadership courses, or applying to internship programs or full-time employment. International students should contact the Office of International Services to check full or part-time work eligibility based on visa status.
This track is also ideal for students looking for a lighter courseload per term. A lighter courseload increases capacity to attend co-curricular programming, participate in faculty research, and/or engage in the local community.
-
The 12-month program is ideal for those looking to gain a masters degree in one year to enter the job force right away. This program is also ideal for those looking to pursue a second degree at Carey, obtaining two masters degrees in two years
-
No, there are no practicum or internship electives in the 12 or 15-month curriculum.
Note: 15-month program International students who apply and are approved for CPT will be enrolled in a zero credit course titled BU.001.600 Graduate Internship Project. For more information on CPT, please visit: https://ois.jhu.edu/Students/Current_F1_Students/F-1_Training_and_Employment/Curricular_Practical_Training/index.html.
-
Students accepted to the 12-month program can request a deferral to the following year, but they can only defer to the 12-month version of the program. If interested in the 15-month program the following year, students must reapply.
Students accepted to the 15-month program can request a deferral to the following year, but they can only defer to the 15-month version of the program. If interested in the 12-month program the following year, students must reapply.
-
Yes, students in both programs may be in some of the same sections of classes in fall and spring.
-
Full-time Master of Science students are required to attend classes in-person in fall, spring, and summer terms. Students who receive a full-time job offer related to their studies beginning in June or July (their final summer term) can provide that job offer to the Programs leadership team to request the ability to take summer classes remotely (synchronous online, meaning on a certain day of the week and at a certain time via Zoom) in order to be able to accept that job offer. Requests will be denied for part-time or internship work. Requests are approved rarely, and only when there is space and capacity to do so. Students with a job offer are not guaranteed virtual classes in the summer term, and we highly recommend all students plan to be in-person for their summer courses. In the past, students have struggled to balance the rigorous full-time coursework with full-time employment. Only students in good academic standing will have requests reviewed. International students should contact the JHU Office of International Services at OIS@jhu.edu to determine eligibility to work in the United States based on their visa.
-
The 15-month program is solely in-person. There is no option to be online.
-
As this is the first year we are piloting the 15-month course sequence, we don’t know how many applications we will receive. There are fewer seats in the 15-month program as we are piloting the new course sequence, but the curriculum is the same. Students cannot apply for more than one version of the program at a time.
-
Your diploma will show program name as MS in Finance, whether you take the 12 or 15-month program. The only difference for the 15-month program is that your transcript will show courses taken across two academic years and the program name on transcript will indicate the 15-month program.
-
Yes, class sizes are the same. Class sizes at Carey vary from 28-60.
-
The 12-month program students graduate in August (Conferral date in late August). For students starting in the 12-month program in Fall 2024, the conferral date will be August 22, 2025. The 15-month program students graduate in December (Conferral date in late December). For students starting in the 15-month program in Fall 2024, the conferral date will be December 31, 2025. There is one graduation ceremony in May each year. Students who graduate in the 12 and 15-month program can participate in the May ceremony prior to or after program completion.
Tuition and Billing Related Questions
-
The tuition for the 15-month program plan in the full-time Master of Science in Finance will be 3-5% more than the tuition for the 12-month program plan. Tuition costs noted are projections. Tuition rates for 2024-2025 will be approved by the Johns Hopkins University Board of Trustees and published in Spring 2024.
The tuition differential for the 15-month program plan supports the additional co-curricular events and student resources, such as career coaching and academic advising, that will benefit students during their extended time on campus.
-
We are dedicated to serving our students, colleagues, and the greater Carey community in a compliant and equitable manner. There are no differences in financial aid eligibility for the 12 and 15-month program. Carey offers numerous options for financing your education, including scholarship aid, loans, payment plans, and tuition reimbursement available to those who qualify.
