We are delighted that you are considering graduate studies at Johns Hopkins Engineering for Professionals. Get ready to elevate your career and build your network of engineers.
General guidelines and admission requirements for graduate programs are below.
Carefully review your individual program of interest for any additional admission requirements beyond those listed here.
Master’s Degree, Graduate Certificate, and Special Students*
- Except as provided herein, applicants must have no more than 30 credits remaining in their undergraduate degree or hold a bachelor’s or graduate degree from a US regionally accredited college or university. While there is no automatic prohibition of the admission of students from US nationally accredited colleges or universities, EP retains the right to assess an applicant’s courses and/or degrees earned from one of those institutions to determine their academic readiness for the Program.
- Applicants who hold degrees from international institutions are encouraged to apply and must meet requirements found on EP’s International Applicants webpage.
- Admitted students typically have earned a grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (B or above) in the latter half of their undergraduate studies (when reviewing an application, the candidate’s academic and professional background will be considered).
- Students must earn a B– or better in prerequisite courses to receive full admission.
- Applicants must submit official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended.
- No GRE is required. Should you choose to submit scores, use code 4655.
*Special students are non-degree seeking applicants who take individual courses at Johns Hopkins Engineering for Professionals without enrolling in a program. Courses taken as a special student do not necessarily count toward fulfillment of degree requirements if the student is later accepted as a degree candidate. Cases are evaluated on an individual basis.
Post-Master’s Certificate Candidates
In addition to the requirements listed above, applicants must have earned a master’s degree in a relevant engineering or science discipline.
Transcripts
**Beginning January 5, 2026, official transcripts must be submitted electronically only.**
Official transcripts are due once you are given an offer.
Note that undergraduates from JHU do not need to submit official transcripts.
Submitting Transcripts
The EP application requires your UNOFFICIAL transcripts, but in order to register for classes we will need to receive your OFFICIAL transcripts. We recommend submitting your official transcript as soon as possible after submitting the application. Click below to learn more about this process, vendors, and timing.
Unofficial Transcripts from Multiple Institutions in the Application
The “Academic History” section of the online application is designed to accept one transcript. This should be from the undergraduate institution that awarded your bachelor’s degree. If you attended more than one undergraduate institution or any graduate institutions, you should add/upload those transcripts on the “Student Status” page after you have submitted the application.
Still Working On Your Undergraduate Degree?
If it is expected that you will be awarded a degree prior to beginning graduate studies through our program you must complete the remaining coursework for your degree with a grade average of B (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) or better. After the degree has been posted, have an official transcript submitted to ep-transcripts@jhu.edu.
If you apply for the Early Start Program, any course taken outside of JHU prior to the completion of your baccalaureate degree will not be applicable to your master’s degree unless you can provide evidence that the course was not applied to a different degree. Any JHU course completed while you are in the Early Start program will be applicable to the JHU degree as long as it fulfills degree requirements from the catalog year linked in your admission letter. (JHU Undergraduates: please see the JHU-EP Policy on Double-Counting Courses).
