Take courses online, in-person, or through virtual live—scheduled, remote classes that you take from the comfort of your home or wherever you are. With more than 650 courses to choose from, many programs offer courses that are delivered in one or more ways. If some courses are easier in-person, and you live close to the Johns Hopkins campuses, you can come take classes in-person and others online.
For those students looking to complete a graduate program fully online, 20 of our 22 programs are designed with the option to be completed fully online. You have the flexibility to choose what works best for you.
“My main reason for starting this program was for the online aspect. When I started my program, I did not live in the state of Maryland. It was super convenient to make everything online so that I didn’t need to travel/move to go to school. The ‘weekly’ schedule was also very helpful. As a full-time employee, I could schedule my studies around my schedule and I always felt like I had enough time during the week to finish. ”

FAQs
Part-time master’s degrees are master’s programs designed to allow students to continue working full-time while they study for their degrees. Many part-time programs offer classes in the evening, on the weekend, or offer prerecorded lectures to be watched when the student has time. This contrasts a traditional full-time degree program where classes are offered during the weekday and in-person.
All part-time master’s programs in Engineering for Professionals give you five years to complete your program from the beginning of your first class. We recommend that you take one class per semester to balance studying with your career. If you find you can take more, please do so, but seek the counsel from an advisor to be sure. If you are transferring credits, your five-year clock will start with the beginning of the first transferred credit class.
