Leadership Resources

The Center for Innovative Leadership engages not only the faculty and students of Johns Hopkins University, but also acts as a resource to leaders across all industries and organizations, providing evidence-based guidance for leading in the modern world of work. From in-depth Field Guides to cutting-edge Research Briefs, the Center produces a range of resources translating faculty research and expertise into actionable insights for practicing leaders.

Field Guides

CIL designed the Field Guide series to help leaders navigate the increasingly complex world of work, armed with a nuanced understanding of key challenges identified in cutting-edge organizational research. Each Field Guide is designed to illuminate a core challenge facing today’s leaders and deliver effective, evidence-based guidance and practices for leaders to deploy in their own work. These in-depth resources are intended for use by leaders in all industries and at all levels of an organization, not only as a “how-to” guide for key leadership decisions and actions, but also as a broader resource for personal development, learning, and growth as a leader.

Research Briefs

The Center frequently releases short Research Briefs, highlighting and summarizing CIL faculty research findings and how they impact the world of work. The briefs are designed to facilitate the rapid transfer of research-to-practice, helping leaders shape their practices with the latest findings in academic research.

Students come from all over the world to study at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School. As a global university, the diversity of our students is an essential element of our academic programs, fostering a shared understanding of the global economy.

Carey is one of the first 10 business schools where the entire Full-time MBA program is STEM-designated. With this advantage, international, full-time MBA students with F-1 visas may be eligible for Optional Practical Training (OPT) extensions. Many of our full-time Master of Science programs are also STEM designated, including:

• Business Analytics and Artificial Intelligence
• Finance
• Information Systems and Artificial Intelligence for Business
• Marketing

Financial aid for international students

The Johns Hopkins Office of Student Enrollment and Account Management, or SEAM, is the central office at Johns Hopkins University for financial aid, billing and payments, and registration. Carey students and applicants work with SEAM on a variety of questions and processes related to these topics. If you’re not sure when to contact SEAM, please reach out to Carey’s Admissions team to help you get in touch.

While federal aid is not available for international students, there are other ways to help pay for your degree. International students are considered for merit scholarships that are available in their program of admission, most of which do not require a separate application. Merit-based scholarships are limited, and competitive, and availability can vary. Students receiving scholarship funding are notified at the time of admission. Merit-based scholarships for international students include:

• MBA scholarship opportunities
• Endowed scholarships for both MBA and Master of Science students
• Reaching Out MBA Fellowships (separate application required)

International students can also take advantage of private scholarships, some of which are specific to international students. Carey also maintains a scholarship e-Bulletin which provides information on need-based and merit scholarships, grants, and fellowships offered by private agencies and organizations. If awarded, please notify us by submitting an online form via SEAM so we can congratulate you and update our records to reflect your accomplishments.

International students searching for private loans can use ELM Select to find, compare, and apply for loans with various lenders that best fit their financial situation. International students should select "International/DACA” to view lenders.

Contact Carey’s Admissions team with questions about merit-based scholarships awarded by the Office of Admissions. Please refer to SEAM for questions about private student loans.

Payment methods and plans

Johns Hopkins University offers several payment options. We accept international wire payments through Flywire or Convera. These vendors make it easy for international students to make payments in their own currency, using local payment methods, from the safety and convenience of their home. Both vendors offer various payment methods, a wide range of international currency options, competitive exchange rates, and the convenience of paying through a local bank. To learn more about online wire payments, please visit SEAM’s payment methods webpage.

With a U.S. bank account, international students can sign up for a monthly payment plan to pay their tuition and fees. Carey offers students two payment plan options to pay their tuition and fees. Please refer to Payment Schedule A and Payment Schedule B for the current options. Any questions about payment plans should be directed to SEAM.

For more information about payment plans and methods, please visit SEAM’s Payment Methods webpage.

Tuition rates

International student tuition rates are the same as those for domestic students. Costs for all academic programs are available on the tuition and fees webpage.

To receive an I-20 as an F-1 student, you are required to provide documented proof of funding equal to all tuition and living expenses for one academic year. Estimated living costs by program are listed on our tuition and fees webpage.

For your privacy and security, do not include bank statements or other financial documents with your application. Johns Hopkins’ Office of International Services will provide instructions on how to send this information after you accept your offer of admission and submit your enrollment deposit.
