Welcome to Johns Hopkins University’s Engineering for Professionals (EP).
As part of the Whiting School of Engineering, our EP programs draw upon Johns Hopkins’ world-renowned strengths in research and education to provide working engineers with academic opportunities of a breadth and quality unparalleled in higher education.
The Whiting School has long been committed to serving the educational needs of working engineers in the Baltimore-Washington region. And our success in this area, combined with our ability to respond to industry’s evolving demands, has made EP a national leader in its field. The knowledge and skills our EP students acquire have consistently been the catalysts for their career advancement. Today, EP alumni can be found in management and technical leadership positions in both public and private sectors.
Our comprehensive academic offerings include 15 master’s degree programs and advanced certificates in many areas of study. Through on-line courses and a growing number of academic/industrial partnerships, EP has further broadened its reach to provide educational programs of the highest quality to students from across the nation and around the world.
EP’s reputation for academic excellence is due, in large part, to the quality of our faculty. Thanks to our strong relationships with industry and leading private and government organizations as well as our affiliation with The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, EP students are taught by some of the nation’s most accomplished engineers, scientists, and researchers. These professionals work at the cutting edge of their fields and know first-hand what it takes to be leaders in today’s competitive marketplace. Our faculty draws upon their knowledge of current technologies, practices, and unique professional experiences to enrich our academic programs. They balance theory with application, and provide students with a strong command of underlying engineering principles.
Among our most exciting new offerings are a master’s degree program in Information Assurance and a new post-graduate certificate in Climate Change, Energy, and Environmental Sustainability. Online course offerings continue to grow and we now offer 75 courses across multiple disciplines, including online master’s degree programs in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Environmental Planning and Management, and Bioinformatics.
I invite you to learn more about EP and how a Johns Hopkins Engineering degree or advanced certificate can help you achieve your professional goals. And, again, welcome to the Johns Hopkins engineering community.
Sincerely,
