<p>JHU Launches New Schools of Business and Education</p>

<p>"Johns Hopkins University trustees, in response to a $50 million gift for business education, voted Dec. 4 to establish both an innovative new business school to produce leaders with broad, interdisciplinary preparation and an education school dedicated to the most pressing needs of the nation's public schools.</p>

<p>The Carey Business School and the School of Education will both begin operations Jan. 1, building new and distinctive programs on the foundation created by the university's School of Professional Studies in Business and Education, which will cease to exist.

<p>Q&A on the new schools:
"When will the Carey Business School offer a five-year BA-BS/MBA program for full-time undergraduate students in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the Whiting School of Engineering?</p>

<p>The start date for this program has not been determined. Details will be announced when they are decided."

<p>No one really knows what the structure of the new programs is going to be. The two new schools are being spun off of our SPSBE (School of Professional Studies in Business and Education, read "spis-bee") and right now, SPSBE is fairly separate from the three divisions that have full-time undergrads (Engineering, Arts&Sciences and Peabody). So even if they do add an undergraduate business program, it probably won't be for a year or two (just a guess). We still have an undergrad minor in Entrepreneurship and Management - and according to the article, "Students seeking admission to the five-year program may prepare for graduate-level management education by taking the W.P. Carey Minor in Entrepreneurship and Management, established in 1996, in addition to their undergraduate majors."</p>

<p>i want to apply to jhu now</p>

7

<p>Can we apply this year?</p>

8

<p>Could they be making this announcement now because of a poor ED applicant pool? I'm applying ED and hoping to get in,this is just an added bonus. Go JHU!!!</p>

9

<p>the ed pool was not poor it just didn;t increase another 30something % like last year</p>

<p>Just picked up a copy of the student paper and it had some more information on the Carey School:</p>

<p>"The Carey School will not accept applicants from other colleges, at least initially. 'The focus is on providing an opportunity for undergraduates' Pamela Cranston, who will become interim dean of the Carey Business School said. 'In the short term, the goal for the Business School is to develop full-time programs for undergraduates' [...] 'Most business schools produce business leaders, for lack of a better term, in a vacuum,' Cranston said. 'The focus of the Hopkins Business School will be to take business but apply it to the field that you're actually interested in, and link the two of them together ... You're not going to end up being your all-purpose jack-of-all-trades business manager. [...] Our hope would be that at the very least we'd be able to get something up and running that the current Sophomore class could enter" (Source: The John Hopkins News-Letter, 12/7/06)</p>

<p>I’m considering this as an option in my match category (Reach, Match, Safety) and i’m a little confused. It has a whole different campus in downtown right) Do you guys think it is better than main campus? What about the Washington DC one? Can you still take minors with the general college. Also, 2 things i want in a college is a big city and a big student body. (which explains my #1 of NYU) so i know this school is in an urban area (+) but does it have a large student body. (BTW, i know this is like a 3 year old post but this should put it back in the new posts category so people might see it and comment again)</p>

<p>This was posted 3 years ago…</p>

<p>Wow, talk about an old thread bump…</p>

14

<p>At least Nobama did a search. It’s more than most posters do, so kudos to him/her.</p>

No. It’s important to note that JHU does not have a business major like other schools do. It is necessary to transfer into the BA program at Carey from another college (it needn’t be JHU), and the business campuses are separate from the Homewood campus. </p>

<p>This is very different from (and vastly inferior to) business at Penn or NYU, where students study business at the same university on the same campus for four years.</p>

15

<p>No, after a certain period of time (say a few months), it’s eEtiquette to make a new thread. Bumping 3 year old threads is not appropriate.</p>

16

<p>this forum thrives on new threads, not continuations of old threads</p>

17

<p>So, how are these schools doing relative to their leading competitors?</p>

18

<p>Well I was totally set on HBS until Carey came along…</p>

<p>US News rankings Hopkins’ School of Education #7–just after Harvard’s GSE. Not bad for a school that is two years old. </p>

<p>The Carey Business School’s inaugural full-time MBA program starts next fall. In ten years, it will be among the top schools. [Carey</a> Business School Home](<a href=“http://carey.jhu.edu/]Carey”>http://carey.jhu.edu/)</p>

<p>The mission of the Johns Hopkins Carey School will be “phenomenally different” from that of other schools…</p>

<p>[FT.com</a> / UK - Not following number one](<a href=“http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/5db30444-cd41-11dc-9b2b-000077b07658.html?nclick_check=1/]FT.com”>http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/5db30444-cd41-11dc-9b2b-000077b07658.html?nclick_check=1/)</p>

<p>PS. The Carey business school website looks very cool. :D</p>

<p>Hopkins’ School of Education is ranked 7th in 2009. In 2008, it was ranked 20th, which is a huge jump in my opinion… wow</p>
