Carey Business School

Our Mission

The Johns Hopkins Carey Business School supports business knowledge development and education through our own initiatives, innovations, and collaborative programs across the Johns Hopkins University. We create and share knowledge that shapes business practices while educating business leaders who will grow economies and societies, and are exemplary citizens.

Introduction

Johns Hopkins University

Established in 1876, the Johns Hopkins University was the first American university dedicated to advanced study and scientific research. Today, Johns 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 Johns Hopkins Carey Business School’s faculty, administrative staff, and many of its programs are located in Baltimore, Maryland. Programs are also offered at the Washington, D.C. campus, as well as online.

The Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the G.W.C. Whiting School of Engineering are based on the Homewood campus in north Baltimore. The School of Education houses its central administration and some programs in the Homewood campus’ Education Building. Additional campus facilities are in Columbia and Montgomery County, Maryland. The School of Medicine, Bloomberg School of Public Health, and School of Nursing occupy a 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, D.C.; and the Applied Physics Laboratory is in Laurel, Maryland. International academic campuses are located in Nanjing, China; Bologna, Italy; and Singapore.

Johns Hopkins Carey Business School

Johns Hopkins Carey Business School is not the average business school. Just as Johns Hopkins was not the average businessman.

Johns Hopkins’ mother saw her child’s innate business ability and pushed him to “go where the money is.” After arriving in Baltimore, Johns quickly advanced from store clerk to finance capitalist and ultimately bank president.

Before Johns Hopkins was a hospital or a university, Johns was a businessman building for what’s next. Even after he made his fortune, he remained committed to creating lasting value. It was that quest to build for what’s next that drove Johns to create America’s first research university and set a new course for education. 

William Polk Carey also saw the chance to create lasting value for business education and by pledging his support ensures that the future generations will have the same opportunity, like Johns, to thrive within change and advance society.

That vision of building for tomorrow continues with the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School. Students find their paths. Together, we build for what’s next.

Some of the earliest business classes at Johns Hopkins challenged conventional wisdom. From the beginning, Henry L. Gantt—class of 1880 and inventor of the Gantt Chart, became a leading figure in the scientific management movement, presenting cutting-edge and often controversial ideas in his lectures at Johns Hopkins.

In 1916, Johns Hopkins added business and engineering courses for part-time students. Energetic individuals such as Gantt fostered the growth of the new field of business administration and the concept of "working smarter" to enhance efficiency and profits. Following World War II, the Johns Hopkins program produced more CPAs than any other school in Maryland. 

Over time, the management science program became the first graduate-level business degree at Johns Hopkins with a focus on applying new findings in quantitative analysis and general systems theory. In 1991, the school developed new programs to address a business landscape incorporating transformed by technological innovation, emerging economies, and escalating politics, including specialized Master of Science programs and Master of Business Administration degree programs.

On December 4, 2006, Johns Hopkins trustees, in response to a gift from businessman William Polk Carey, voted to establish a new business school dedicated to producing innovative leaders with broad, interdisciplinary knowledge. The school was named after Carey’s great-great-great-grandfather, James Carey of Loudon, a successful Baltimore merchant during the 18th and 19th centuries. On January 1, 2007, the new Carey Business School opened its doors for the first time.

Carey's $50 million donation, paired with $50 million to be raised by the university, was responsible for launching the Carey Business School. This was the largest gift ever in support of business education at Johns Hopkins.

Curriculum

Current academic programs include the Johns Hopkins Global MBA (full-time), and the Flexible MBA (part-time), designed to accommodate the needs of working professionals.

Also offered are a wide range of dual MBA programs (in collaboration with other Johns Hopkins schools) in areas such as government, biotechnology, medicine, public health, and design leadership (offered in collaboration with Maryland Institute College of Art). Specialized Master of Science degree programs are offered in business analytics and risk management, finance, health care management, information systems, marketing, and real estate and infrastructure, as well as a variety of graduate certificate programs, and non-credit Executive Education courses.
