A Johns Hopkins postdoc, Herbert Baxter Adams, brought the seminar method from Germany, where he earned a PhD in 1876. The idea: Students would learn more by doing than by listening to lectures and taking exams.

That spirit of inquiry , of challenging the way things are done, lives on today in our nine academic divisions, all of which offer full-time graduate programs.

The Application: General Advice

The most important question we ask when reviewing applications is "Will this individual excel at research?" Every part of your application is helpful insofar as it answers this question. The three major components of an application are the statement, letters of recommendation, and grades.

This is one of the most important parts of your application; it lets us get to know you and creates a narrative of your academic career and future plans. Before you write your statement, start by thinking about what you want us to learn about you. Make a list of important achievements, perspectives, and goals. Build your statement around this list. We are looking for students who have made the most of the opportunities they have been presented with and who are smart, creative, and motivated. Keep in mind that we also have your CV and letters of recommendation, so we don’t necessarily need a list of all your accomplishments. However, your statement can fill in the narrative around what you did and, more specifically, why you did it. What motivates you? What are your research interests and why? These details aren’t found elsewhere in your application, so focus on them in your statement.

There are a few things we suggest not including in your statement. While it’s tempting to give a rationale for why you are applying to our program, don’t include it if it’s uninformed. Consider: “I want to apply to Johns Hopkins because it’s one of the premiere academic programs.” We know that already! If you do have specific reasons to be interested in our program (e.g. location, a specific project, a faculty member, etc.), be sure to mention them.

In terms of your motivation, be specific! Don’t write: “I’ve wanted to do a PhD in CS since I was six years old.” We don’t trust that six-year-olds make good career decisions. If you write “I have always found AREA X fascinating,” explain why.

Letters of Recommendation

The two most important factors of a recommendation letter are: 1) select someone who knows you well, and 2) select someone who knows how to write a letter.

First, it’s tempting to ask Professor X. to write a letter for you because they are a well-known person in the field. While we can better contextualize letters from people we know, it’s only helpful if the letter contains meaningful information. If Professor X. writes, “I’ve met the applicant a few times and they seem sharp,” that’s not useful information. It’s more important to select someone who knows you well and can discuss your achievements in detail.

Second, your letter writer should know how to write a letter. Academic research programs look for different things than a company. We often read letters from work supervisors that say nice things, but don’t speak to the qualities we find most important.

Of course, it’s a balance. You want someone who knows you well, but they still need to know how to write a good letter of recommendation.

We understand that three letters are a lot, especially for an undergraduate applying directly to a PhD program. We don’t expect each candidate to have three amazing letters. Your choices should be about balance: you want people who know you well, can write good academic letters, and know the research field. Use your choice of your three letter-writers to create this balance.

There isn’t much you can do about your grades—you have the grades you have. However, we do not use any grade cutoffs or thresholds in admissions. We want to see that you did well and excelled in whatever program you were in. Did you push yourself to take upper-level classes? Did you do well in the classes most directly related to your research area? If you have special circumstances that explain some of your grades, please include a description of them in your statement.

The Whiting School of Engineering does not require GRE General Test scores for applications to our PhD programs.

TOEFL or IELTS

Non-native English speakers must take the TOEFL or IELTS exams. Details on accepted exams, scores, and exceptions to this requirement can be found here .

Nathaniel Boggs Memorial Fellowship

The Nathaniel Boggs, Jr. Ph.D., Memorial Fellowship was established in 1999 by university trustee Paula Boggs, A&S ’81. It’s in memory of her father, who received Howard University’s first Ph.D. in biology. The fellowship provides a substantial stipend to the awardee.

Candidates for a fellowship must have an undergraduate degree from a historically black college or university, and pursue graduate work in select fields within the natural or physical sciences. Candidates will be selected on the basis of their academic performance, including GPA. 

Fields of study include biology, biophysics, chemistry, earth and planetary sciences, mathematics, and physics and astronomy. Interested candidates should contact their prospective department to inquire about the fellowship.

Kelly Miller Fellowship

Kelly Miller was the first African-American student to enroll at Johns Hopkins in 1887. He left the university before he completed his graduate degree, but later became a longtime professor of mathematics at Howard University, and a dean of arts and sciences. Students who have attended a historically black college and university or other minority serving institution for undergraduate study are eligible.

The fellowship provides a stipend for the first two years of the student’s program, and a research fund to be used in the course of the fellow’s graduate career. There are currently 10 fellowships available per year.

Relocation Funds for Incoming Graduate Students

We recognize that it can be financially burdensome to relocate to a new city to attend a Ph.D. program. Students who are accepted to Ph.D. programs at JHU can apply to receive a $1500 need-based grant to offset the costs of relocating to JHU.

These grants provide funding to a portion of incoming students who, without this money, may otherwise not be able to afford to relocate to JHU for their Ph.D. program.

This is not a merit-based grant. Applications will be evaluated solely based on financial need.

  • Graduate Awards

Admission to the PhD program is based on primarily on academic records, letters of recommendation, and a personal statement. Application materials for the fall of 2024 must be received by December 15, 202`3. However, applicants who wish to be considered for the Vivien Thomas Scholars Initiative must submit their application by December 1, 2023. Preliminary admissions decisions will be made in January 2024. All applicants will be notified of the admissions committee’s decision by email.

The Department of Mathematics values diversity among its members, is committed to building a diverse intellectual community, and strongly encourages applications from all interested parties.

Via the online application , applicants should submit:

  • A Statement of Purpose
  • An optional Personal Statement
  • Transcripts from all institutions attended
  • Three letters of recommendation
  • Official TOEFL scores (if English is not your first language)

Submission of GRE Math subject scores is optional. The department views GRE Math subject scores as useful information. For applications which do not include these scores, more weight will be placed on the other elements of the application. Applicants who choose to self-report a GRE Math Subject score need not send an official score report at time of application; we will request verification only if you are accepted to the program.

The required Statement of Purpose discusses your academic interests, objectives, and preparation. The optional Personal Statement describes your personal background, and helps us create a more holistic understanding of you as an applicant. If you wish you may also discuss your personal background in the Statement of Purpose (e.g. if you have already written a single essay addressing both topics), instead of submitting separate statements.

Application fee waivers are available based on financial need and/or participation in certain programs .

No application materials should be mailed to the department. All application materials are processed by the Graduate Admissions Office.

Senior Academic Program Coordinator 410-516-4178 [email protected]

Undergraduate Background

The following is an example of what the math department would consider a good background for a student coming out of a four-year undergraduate program at a college or university in the U.S. (assuming a semester system):

  • Calculus in one variable (two semesters, or AP credits)
  • Multivariable Calculus (one semester)
  • Linear Algebra (one semester)
  • Complex analysis (one semester)
  • Real analysis (two semesters)
  • Abstract algebra (two semesters)
  • Point-set topology (one semester)

Many admitted students have taken upper-level undergraduate mathematics courses or graduate courses. Nevertheless, the department does admit very promising students whose preparation falls a little short of the above model. In such cases, we strongly recommend that the student start to close the gap over the summer, before arriving for the start of the fall semester.

Financial Support    

Students admitted to the PhD program receive full tuition fellowships and teaching assistantships. Teaching assistant salaries for the 2023–2024 academic year are $34,000. Students making satisfactory progress can expect to be supported for six years. Exceptional applicants are considered for supplementary fellowships of $6,000 each year for three years.

Students from underrepresented groups may be eligible for other university-wide supplemental fellowships . Summer teaching is available for students seeking extra income.

We recognize that it can be financially burdensome to relocate to a new city to attend a PhD program. Students who are accepted to PhD programs at JHU can apply to receive a $1,500 need-based grant to offset the costs of relocating to JHU. These grants provide funding to a portion of incoming students who, without this money, may otherwise not be able to afford to relocate to JHU for their PhD program. This is not a merit-based grant. Applications will be evaluated solely based on financial need. Find out how to apply for the grant .

  • Graduate Awards

The graduate program in Psychological and Brain Sciences at Johns Hopkins University offers students the opportunity to earn a PhD while working at the cutting edge of research on the mind and brain. The primary goal of the program is the training of researchers who, through careers in academia, industry, and other arenas work to deepen our understanding of mental processes.

The PhD program in Psychological and Brain Sciences is not a clinical training or a counseling program; rather, our faculty and trainees work to understand fundamental processes involved in perception, memory, decision-making, learning, reasoning, and related abilities. In our five-year, full-time program, graduate students also fulfill the requirements for and earn an MA. We do not admit students into a terminal Master’s program, and our program is not available for online study.

All PhD students in good academic standing and making satisfactory progress can expect to be supported for five years.  As part of their graduate training, all PhD students typically complete four semesters of Teaching Assistantship.

Who Can Apply

We seek students who have demonstrated a commitment to psychological science. Most successful applicants have completed undergraduate degrees in Psychology, Cognitive Science, Philosophy, Biology, Behavioral Neuroscience, or Neuroscience, but other related majors can also provide the needed background.

We strongly encourage candidates from traditionally marginalized or underrepresented groups to apply.

When to Apply

Admitted students will matriculate in the Fall semester. The application deadline is December 1st of the year prior to starting the program (note that some special funding programs may have earlier deadlines).

All components of the PhD application, including VTSI supplemental components, must be completed by December 1, 2024 . All supplementary application material including letters of recommendation also must be received by December 1.

How to Apply

Our department requires the following application materials, with detailed information on each component available at Johns Hopkins University Graduate Admissions and Enrollment Office :

  • Unofficial Transcripts*
  • Statement of Purpose
  • Writing Sample
  • Personal Statement
  • 3 Letters of Recommendation
  • TOEFL/IELTS (international applicants only)
  • Professional Credential Evaluation (recommended for international applicants only)**
  • GRE General Test   For Fall 2024 admissions, the GRE test will be optional & not required for the appli cation.

*Successful applicants who accept the offer of admission must supply an official transcript to the graduate admissions office before they can begin the PhD program at Johns Hopkins University. For students in the final year of their bachelor’s program, the official transcript must show completion of all coursework required for the degree.

**View additional information on applying to our graduate program as an international student . Note that the Psychological & Brain Sciences Department strongly recommends (but does not require) international students to submit a professional credential evaluation.

How Applications Are Considered

Various abilities and skills contribute to success in graduate school. Evidence of these skills may include:

  • “objective” indicators, such as GRE scores and undergraduate GPA
  • subjective information, such as a statement of purpose, a description of your background and experience
  • 3 letters of recommendation that provide a personal assessment of your potential for graduate work by faculty mentors and advisors who know you well
  • the ability to express ideas clearly, a curious and creative intellect, and mathematical and computational ability
  • often, but not always: prior research experience

It is this wide scope of admissions considerations that helps build a community within Psychological and Brain Sciences that values intellectual and personal diversity. As a result of this comprehensive approach to the admissions process, guidelines like such as GRE scores or GPA (i.e., cut-offs) are not available.

Candidates for admission may be invited to visit the department so we can meet one another and discuss our mutual interests and goals.

Applied Mathematics and Statistics, PhD

Whiting school of engineering, financial assistance.

A limited number of teaching and research assistantships providing full tuition and a competitive academic year stipend are available to qualified full-time Ph.D. candidates. Furthermore, the following special fellowships are awarded:

  • The Rufus P. Isaacs Fellowship, named in honor of a late member of the faculty acclaimed for his contributions to operations research.
  • The Charles and Catherine Counselman Fellowship, generously endowed by Hopkins alumnus Charles Counselman.

In addition, summer employment opportunities are often available within the university and in the Baltimore-Washington corridor.

Program Requirements

The objective of the department’s Ph.D. program is to produce graduates who are broadly educated in applied mathematics and statistics and who can work at the current frontiers of their chosen specialized disciplines. The introductory phase of graduate study acquaints the student with a spectrum of topics, provides an opportunity to fill gaps in their background, and affords a close view of the doctoral research process and of potential research areas and advisors. Continuation to advanced study and dissertation research is based upon favorable evaluation of preparedness and potential. The progress of students is evaluated at the end of every semester. The culmination of the program is the doctoral dissertation, representing an original and significant contribution to knowledge in applied mathematics.

In addition to fulfilling the university requirement of a minimum of two consecutive semesters of registration as a full-time resident graduate student, completion of academic ethics training and the responsible conduct of research course, the student must accomplish the following to obtain departmental certification for the Ph.D.:

  • Pass the Introductory Examination, normally offered immediately before each semester.
  • Pass the Ph.D. Candidacy Examination. This oral examination is normally taken in the third year of residency. The scope of the exam will be governed by a syllabus prepared by the student with the help of the student’s mentor or advisor.
  • Pass the Graduate Board Oral Examination, normally taken in the third year of residence.
  • Acquire and hone their teaching and research experience under the supervision of faculty by successfully completing either a TA or RA assignment every semester while a fulltime, resident student.
  • Complete at least 12 one-semester courses of graduate work in a coherent program approved by the faculty advisor.
  • Demonstrate a working knowledge of the utilization of computers in applied mathematics and statistics.
  • Complete a program of original research and its clear exposition in a written dissertation. The dissertation must be approved by at least two faculty readers and be certified by them to be a significant contribution to knowledge and worthy of publication in scholarly journals. The candidate defends the dissertation in a public examination held under the auspices of the department.

Additional details on these items may be found on the department’s website.

Course Program

The most common way for students to gain the knowledge and skills to succeed in the Ph.D. program is through course work. In consultation with their advisor, each student will develop a program of proposed course work. The relevant courses for the Ph.D. are of three types: basic graduate-level courses, additional specialized courses appropriate to the student’s field of research, and an elective one year course selected to broaden the student in applied mathematics. To promote a well-rounded education and record, all full-time graduate students are expected to enroll in an appropriate number of courses for their stage in the program. Students are required to enroll in and attend EN.553.801 Department Seminar , every semester. Grades of B- or better (or equivalent level of performance in pass/fail courses) are expected of all department Ph.D. graduate students in their course work.

Basic Courses

All students are encouraged to master basic material in:

  • probability ( EN.553.720 Probability Theory I ), statistics ( EN.553.730 Statistical Theory ), and stochastic processes ( EN.553.626 Introduction to Stochastic Processes );
  • optimization ( EN.553.761 Nonlinear Optimization I );
  • matrix analysis ( EN.553.792 Matrix Analysis and Linear Algebra ); and
  • discrete mathematics ( EN.553.671 Combinatorial Analysis EN.553.672 Graph Theory ).

Normally, a student will have completed at least eight basic courses by the end of the fourth semester of residence.

Specialized Courses

Each student takes advanced courses appropriate to the proposed area of dissertation research, with the approval of the research advisor.

Elective Courses

Students are encouraged to take additional elective course work, either covering one area in depth or covering two areas. Typical areas in other departments are biology, econometrics, mathematical economics, mathematical ecology, computational geometry, systems theory, health systems, mathematics, facility location, psychometrics, and physics. These courses may complement or supplement the student’s previous experience, but if a student has no previous experience in an area some elementary course work may be necessary as a prerequisite to acceptable graduate level courses.

Current students can view the PhD in Epidemiology requirements in the student handbook on the Epidemiology portal site.

Research Tracks

The Department's current research tracks in the PhD program include:

Cancer Epidemiology offers a rich, vibrant and dynamic environment for masters and doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows to actively participate, learn, explore and conduct cancer-related population-based and clinical research. The track has a long and successful history of training masters and doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows. Past students continue to conduct population-based cancer research and have made successful transitions to positions in academia, government and private sector organizations.

Cardiovascular and Clinical Epidemiology focuses on the use of epidemiologic methods in clinical research and practice as well as interdisciplinary training on the epidemiology of cardiovascular disease. The program integrates knowledge on all aspects of the disease: biology, behavior, treatment, and prevention. Training emphasizes active participation in research and translational epidemiology using a collaborative approach, which is enhanced by the close relationships between the Department of Epidemiology and clinical departments of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine at the Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Clinical Trials and Evidence Synthesis offers students a unique educational experience in clinical trial and evidence synthesis methodology. Methods are applied to a variety of clinical areas including respiratory-, eye- and infectious diseases, and mental health. Student-faculty discussions, journal clubs, research-in-progress meetings, seminars and active participation in research add to both the depth and breadth of the program.

Environmental Epidemiology concentrates on the impact of environmental exposures on health and disease states in human populations. This track integrates epidemiological methods, assessment of environmental exposures and understanding of specific disease processes to identify the health consequences of environmental exposures. Environmental Epidemiology provides basic information for risk assessment, risk communication, and environmental health policy decisions and has a central role in identifying, implementing and evaluating strategies for the prevention and control of environmental exposures. Training in Environmental Epidemiology emphasizes active participation in large population research projects, with close collaborations across the School and with national and international collaborators.

Epidemiology of Aging focuses on the determinants of physical and cognitive health, disease, and function in older adults. Offers multidisciplinary training in methods and theories needed for the study of older populations. Strong ties exist with several multi-departmental training grants and programs. This training program also is connected to numerous large research projects.

General Epidemiology and Methodology offers research and training opportunities in almost all areas of chronic disease epidemiology, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diseases of childhood and includes advanced methodology training in epidemiologic methods as well as providing individualized or customized training in statistical epidemiology, pharmacoepidemiology and social epidemiology.

Genetic Epidemiology focuses on the study of genetic and environmental factors, and their interaction in disease and normal variation. Emphasis is on understanding the methodology and approach to designing, executing and analyzing genetic studies. Training is broad-based and collaborative and encourages participation in research from faculty in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Institute of Genetic Medicine, and the School of Medicine.

Infectious Disease Epidemiology provides training in the fundamentals of infectious disease epidemiology with an eye toward preparing graduates to work in teaching, research and practice. The program emphasizes principles and methods that can be used to understand the dynamics and control of transmissible diseases by all classes of organisms. The curriculum builds on the faculty's extensive and diverse experience researching and combating infectious diseases, ranging from hospital acquired infections, to neglected tropical diseases and sexually transmitted infections.

Need-Based Relocation Grants Students who  are admitted to PhD programs at JHU   starting in Fall 2023 or beyond can apply to receive a $1500 need-based grant to offset the costs of relocating to be able to attend JHU.   These grants provide funding to a portion of incoming students who, without this money, may otherwise not be able to afford to relocate to JHU for their PhD program. This is not a merit-based grant. Applications will be evaluated solely based on financial need.  View more information about the need-based relocation grants for PhD students .
