Salary and Debt by Major at Johns Hopkins University

We calculated a Salary Score for each of Johns Hopkins University's programs by comparing program-specific median alumni earnings to median alumni earnings for the same program across all schools that provide this data. This way, students can compare the relative salary strength of a specific major at Johns Hopkins University to the same major at other schools. A school's overall score by level is based on the school's by-program performance weighted by student enrollment in each program. Data is sourced from the December 2020 release of the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard and reflects median alumni debt upon graduation and median alumni earnings in the year after graduation for students who received federal financial aid. Debt and salary numbers are shown rounded to the nearest $10.

Horrible experience. The arbitrary GPA cap forces professors to sabotage their own work. They deliberately include exam questions on stuff they never cover or in some cases have nothing to do with the class. Example: I had a question about molecular biology on a investments quiz. You rarely see what you did wrong on exams because they might need to change your score to curve under the cap. So first off, this means you don't get better because you don't know what you did poorly on. Secondly, you can get 28... Read More

Try Georgia Tech 1000% before coming here, you will not regret it.
