<p>I was wondering how large the classes are as you move on from introductory to advanced in Public Health Studies majors.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance :)</p>
<p>I would assume they start decent size and then get smaller over time. Exact numbers are probably hard to know. Maybe email a prof?</p>
<p>That’s a good idea, thanks :D</p>
<p>Hey there,</p>
<p>You can check out this resource: [Registrar’s</a> Office | Course Schedule](<a href=“Registrar - Homewood Schools (KSAS & WSE) | Office of the Registrar | Johns Hopkins University”>Registrar - Homewood Schools (KSAS & WSE) | Office of the Registrar | Johns Hopkins University)
It lets you look at courses available for current students. Right now it is showing Spring 2011 courses, but you can start a new search as well. If you click on a class, you can see how many students max. are allowed for that class. Hope this helps! </p>
<p>Also, the lower-level classes and core requirements for the Public Health Studies major generally have more students, while the upper level classes (that aren’t core reqs) have fewer students.</p>
<p>Depends: Are you studying science, “science”, or a humanity?</p>
<p>Science major’s classes and humanities classes tend to be smaller (<20-40), while intro sciences or “sciences” (i.e. the memorization based sciences like biology or neuroscience) tend to be larger (100+ or 300+ for pre-med required classes).</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses!</p>
<p>They can range from like 5 or 10 people to 400 people. It really depends on area of study and the level of the course.</p>
<p>I’m in the humanities…my smallest class this semester was around 15 and my largest was about 80 or so.</p>
<p>I don’t know 2013 and up’s distribution reqs for PHS, but I know that the required classes for 2011/2012 are all pretty big, which is normal. But nat/soc sci have soc sci distribution reqs for PHS (which are not necessarily related to public health), and those classes can be as big or small as you want. A lot of classes are purely limited by their enrollment limits, so if you want to take small classes, they are there.</p>
