Published March 24, 2025One year after the Key Bridge collision, a team of Johns Hopkins students has helped identify which major bridges might be next
As America’s first research university, we have been tackling difficult questions and finding answers since 1876.
Every day, our faculty and students work side by side in a tireless pursuit of discovery, continuing our founding mission to bring knowledge to the world. Whether you study engineering, chemistry, music, anthropology, or all of the above, every student here—no matter his or her major—is an investigator.
Explore supernovae alongside a Nobel laureate. Learn how to make music with lasers. Create devices that will save lives in impoverished countries. Take a grand tour of the cities that inspired some of the Western world’s great thinkers—Venice, Florence, Paris, or London.
At Hopkins, you can do all of the above. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
