<p>I am aware that JHU has a reputation as an excellent math and science school. But what is it like in terms of other courses. Political science and history, for example.</p>
<p>From what I’ve read, JHU’s non-science and math programs are fantastic as well. It has one of the most highly ranked undergrad international relations programs in the country, and in general I think its humanities offerings are probably just as strong as its math and science ones. My friend who is a political science major at JHU says that there are plenty of opportunities, great professors, and overall a great program.</p>
<p>I’m currently a freshman on the IS track and looking to possibly double major in economics (obviously its still tentative). The professors are fantastic and really are available whenever you need them. One even wrote a recommendation for me for a summer program already. They are great to talk to and have a wealth of knowledge about their field and life in general. The history, anthropology, english, classics, and many others are great programs here and there are students studying everything. There are no shortage of courses from Medieval Cities to 20th century China to World Prehistory. Also, there are many good opportunities such as the 5 year BA/MA and the honors thesis, along with the Woodrow Wilson fellowship if you wish to pursue research. It’s a fantastic place to study many other fields besides the more well known Natural Science programs.</p>
<p>This history department at Johns Hopkins is highly regarded. I don’t know if there are undergraduate rankings, but its graduate program is usually ranked in the top 10.</p>
