Info

Baltimore Johns Hopkins University is located within the city of Baltimore, a very livable and affordable East Coast city situated between Philadelphia and Washington. The Chemistry Department is housed on the Homewood campus, which lies within a residential neighborhood about 2 miles north of the central business area. Baltimore has undergone an urban renaissance in recent years. Many long established neighborhoods have experienced a significant influx of new residents. The area around the Homewood Campus continues to be an attractive neighborhood in which to live, and is typified by artistic brownstones, row houses, and newer apartment buildings. The city offers ample recreational and cultural activities. Harborplace, located along the scenic Inner Harbor just south of the central business district, is a striking collection of pavilions and promenades set at the water’s edge. The National Aquarium adjoins Harborplace on the east and has undergone a major recent expansion. To the south of Harborplace is the Maryland Science Center, which features a variety of scientific exhibits and houses a planetarium and Imax theater. To the west is the Camden Yards baseball stadium, home of the Baltimore Orioles, and Raven’s Stadium, home of the Baltimore Ravens. There are a number of major museums located within the city. These include the Walters Art Museum, which possesses a large collection of antiquities, and the Baltimore Museum of Art, which houses an excellent collection of French Impressionist painting and is adjacent to the Hopkins Homewood campus. Also located in the city is the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Museum, which has an extensive collection of historic railway equipment, the Babe Ruth Museum, and a museum dedicated to Edgar Allen Poe (a former Baltimore resident). Baltimore is also home to several fine musical organizations. The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra is world-renowned and offers a range of symphonic and “pop” music at the modern Joseph A. Meyerhoff concert hall. The Baltimore Opera Company performs at the renovated Lyric Theatre. Throughout the year, a variety of festivals and special events occur in Baltimore. These include the Preakness, which is held at Pimlico Race course and is the second leg of thoroughbred racing’s Triple Crown, the Baltimore Marathon, and Artscape, a citywide arts festival. Baltimore is conveniently located to other attractions in the mid-Atlantic region. Washington, D.C. is less than an hour to the south by car or train and offers some of the best museums and cultural offerings in the country. Philadelphia is less than two hours north of Baltimore. Within Maryland, the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic shore offer water and beach activities, while the mountains lie two hours west of Baltimore, for skiing in the winter and year-round hiking and camping.

Johns Hopkins University Establishment Johns Hopkins University was the first American institution to offer and emphasize graduate education. Its history began in 1867, when at the request of Johns Hopkins, a successful Baltimore businessman, two corporations were formed: Johns Hopkins University and Johns Hopkins Hospital. With this unique vision and generous private endowment, Daniel Coit Gilman opened the doors to Johns Hopkins University in 1876. Throughout the years, the name Johns Hopkins has become world renowned and synonymous with scholarly excellence, cutting edge scientific research, the advancement of medicine and care of humanity. Johns Hopkins has consistently ranked among the top universities by U.S. News and World Report. Organization Johns Hopkins University is a privately endowed, coeducational institution consisting of several academic divisions. The Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences (which includes the Chemistry department) and the G.W.C. Whiting School of Engineering occupy the Homewood campus, a 200 year old estate located in a pleasant residential neighborhood in northern Baltimore. The School of Medicine and the School of Public Health and Hygiene are located in east Baltimore adjacent to the Johns Hopkins Hospital. A regular 20 minute shuttle bus service connects the two campuses. The Peabody Conservatory of Music is located in the elegant Mt. Vernon neighborhood of Baltimore, between the two main campuses and is also served by shuttle bus. Also on the Homewood campus are the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is the ground base for NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, and the Carnegie Institution of Washington, a well known molecular biology research institute. The Applied Physics Laboratory is located midway between Baltimore and Washington, and the School of Advanced International Studies is in Washington, D.C. Johns Hopkins now has an international identity with learning centers in Italy and China, but the city of Baltimore, and the Homewood campus, remains its home. No matter the season, this incomparable campus consisting of impeccable landscaping, marble and iron balustrades, and red brick halls, creates an air of Victorian decorum. Whatever the scholarly spirit, this campus inspires! 4 Graduate Study in Chemistry at The Johns Hopkins University
