Dear Students,
The most successful engineers are those who never stand still when it comes to their education and their careers. Rather, it is those engineers who are committed to remaining at the forefront of their professions, who strive continuously to be well versed in the latest technologies, and who have the ability to continuously learn how their fields are evolving and which skills and knowledge are necessary to stay ahead of the curve who will achieve success.
At the Whiting School of Engineering, our Engineering for Professionals programs provide these motivated working engineers—in our region and around the world—with the tools and experiences necessary to enhance their education in ways that will have a direct positive impact on their professional lives.
We provide our engineering students with academic offerings of the highest quality, with all the value and prestige of a Johns Hopkins education. The breadth of our degree and certificate programs, the real-world experience of our faculty, and our state-of-the-art instructional methods enable us to provide students with unparalleled opportunities. At Engineering for Professionals, you will learn from experienced working professionals and outstanding academic faculty. These instructors speak directly to the applications of the course work you will study and continually improve and update content to encompass the very latest in both the theoretical understanding and applications in their areas of expertise.
In addition to the tremendous academic opportunities you will be afforded by enrolling in a Johns Hopkins Engineering for Professionals program, as a student here, you also will become part of a remarkable community. As a student and, later, as an alumnus, you will be a member of the uniquely successful Johns Hopkins family, connected forever to the traditions and achievements of one of the world’s most esteemed academic research institutions.
Congratulations on choosing Johns Hopkins.
Sincerely,
Ed Schlesinger

Graduate Programs
Graduate students in the Johns Hopkins Engineering for Professionals (JHEP) program constitute one of the nation’s largest student bodies in part-time engineering education at the master’s-degree level. JHEP courses are continually updated for relevance, addressing industry trends and the latest advances in engineering and applied science fields. Most courses are offered online to afford working professionals the opportunity to advance their education at their convenience. Select courses are also offered on-site in the late afternoon or evening Monday through Thursday. Students receive individual attention from their advisors and instructors and benefit from small classes and well-equipped laboratory, computing, and classroom facilities.
The university is accredited by:
the Middle States Commission on Higher Education
3624 Market Street
Philadelphia, PA
19104-2680
215-662-5606
The Master of Science in Engineering in Systems Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET, http://www.abet.org. Applicants need to hold a degree by a program accredited by the EAC of ABET in order to be admitted to the Master of Science in Engineering degree program. Students admitted without a Bachelor of Science degree from an EAC of ABET-accredited program or who did not complete the prerequisites that meet all of the EAC of ABET-accreditation requirements for attainment of student outcomes and for sufficient math, science, and engineering design at the Bachelor of Science level will receive a regionally accredited Master of Science degree.

Non-Degree-Seeking/Special Students
Students who wish to enroll in courses but are not interested in pursuing a degree or certificate may enroll as Special Students.
Online Learning
Johns Hopkins Engineering for Professionals has offered online courses since 2001, consistently delivering a unique educational experience that is both academically rigorous and highly practical. Johns Hopkins Engineering for Professionals’ online programs complement the busy schedules of today’s practicing engineers and scientists by allowing students to pursue studies face to face, online, or via a combination of both formats. Courses are consistently being developed for online delivery. The following programs can be completed fully online:
- Applied Biomedical Engineering
- Applied and Computational Mathematics
- Applied Physics
- Artificial Intelligence
- Civil Engineering
- Computer Science
- Cybersecurity
- Data Science
- Electrical and Computer Engineering
- Engineering Management
- Environmental Engineering
- Environmental Engineering and Science
- Environmental Planning and Management
- Financial Mathematics
- Healthcare Systems Engineering
- Information Systems Engineering
- Materials Science and Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Robotics and Autonomous Systems
- Space Systems Engineering
- Systems Engineering
Our custom-built online programs and courses are designed using state-of-art technology and learning tools that create an interactive and engaging online learning experience. Delivered asynchronously, our online courses also include live synchronous time with the course instructor(s) and fellow students. Prospective and current students should consult online learning for the current online course offerings, course schedules, and procedures for online programs.
Online Course Registration
Online course registration adheres to the same schedule followed by on-site courses. Enrollment is granted on a first-come, first-served basis, and new and returning online students are strongly encouraged to register early. The deadline for adding online courses is two weeks after the first day of classes each term. See the Academic Calendar for exact dates for each term.
Virtual Live Format
This format is a synchronous online course-delivery method. In some cases, all students meet with the instructor fully online (8VL). In other cases, class sessions are held on-site in a classroom, and students have the option to either attend in-person or remote into the classroom via a web-conferencing tool enabling two-way communication and live video feed (3VL).
Online Student Support Services
Johns Hopkins Engineering for Professionals makes every effort to provide online students access to a full range of services and resources comparable to those available to students taking on-site courses. Online students can register, pay their tuition, receive academic advising, purchase course textbooks, access Johns Hopkins University library holdings, view transcripts, and access grades and various other academic services all online. Once admitted, students gain access to the Johns Hopkins portal site, myJH, which provides quick access to many of these services.
