<p>I've been admitted to the School of Arts and Sciences at JHU. From what I've read, Carey Business School only admits transfer students. So, is it possible for current Arts and Sciences students to transfer to the business school with ease after fulfilling the credit requirements since it is an internal transfer within different schools of the university? Also, are incoming freshmen given an option to choose which campus they want to study at? Thanks!</p>
<p>Carey School of Business, the campus in the harbor where the global mba is taught is only for graduate students. The undergrad degrees before hand aren’t considered traditional JHU students from what I understood when I was a student at JHU. JHU has no real undergrad business program like Stern or Wharton. There is a financial economics minor at Arts and Science you can take but if you wanted an actual business school you applied to the wrong school.</p>
<p>I graduated a couple years ago and I don’t know if the program even existed at that time, but I never heard of anyone in my class transferring over to Carey for the BS in Business. I actually hadn’t heard of it until I saw your post and searched for it. I’m not sure how it works, but looking at the course listings for Carey for the current semester, almost all of the classes are evening classes so there may or may not be a full-time option available. </p>
<p>In short, it’s probably possible, but it’s definitely not a common route people take.</p>

<p>A lot of business oriented students do a double major in Applied Math / Statistics and Economics. Applied Math and Statistics by itself would also be a good major and it has a lot of business oriented classes. </p>
<p>I would advise that over trying to get into the business undergrad at Hopkins (which is off campus, and appears to be aimed at working adults).</p>
<p>Thanks BlueJayBJ, Tanman and Al6200 for the help! I think the applied M and S, and entrepreneurship and management minors are two very good options. Thanks again guys :-)</p>

<p>You are correct that students admitted to our programs are transfer students. They complete their general education requirements and business preparation courses prior to beginning at Carey. This exposure to introductory business courses allows prospective students to determine if business is actually the major they want to pursue. It is possible to transfer from the School of Arts and Sciences to Carey. You have to meet the admission requirements and submit the required documents, including the on-line application. Some of our current students have transferred from Arts and Sciences.</p>
<p>We will be offering our undergraduate program at two locations beginning fall 2012. The evening program in Columbia is designed more for working adults. Most students attend part-time and complete the program in approximately three years. The full-time program will be offered in Washington, DC at our Massachusetts Avenue campus beginning this fall. Classes are offered during the day; students take 15 credits and will complete the program in two years. </p>

BlueJayBJ, Tanman and Al6200 provided helpful responses and I agree looking into Applied Mathematics and Statistics ([Johns</a> Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering](<a href=“Hopkins Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics”>Hopkins Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics)), Economics ([Undergraduate](<a href=“http://www.econ.jhu.edu/undergraduate/]Undergraduate[/url]”>Undergraduate | Economics | Johns Hopkins University)</a>) and Entrepreneurship and Management ([The</a> Center for Leadership Education, Johns Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering](<a href=“Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering”>Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering)) are good choices. </p>
<p>I just want to clear up any confusion because Hopkins does not work like other undergraduate schools with business schools. The Carey School is a separate institution. There is no internal transfer process from the Krieger School of Arts & Sciences / Whiting School of Engineering to the Carey School. You would have to apply as a transfer student if you wanted to pursue an undergraduate degree at Carey. Also as was mentioned previously, the programs are not designed as traditional undergraduate programs for students just out of high school. The programs are not housed on the Homewood Campus. This is not like Wharton with Penn or McIntire at UVa or Stern at NYU.</p>
<p>What do people who do minors like marketing and communications and entrepreneurship and management major in generally? Has anyone done this? Would this be as “good” as getting a business degree from a school which has a business major?</p>
