Enroll in the course

All students have the potential to receive full tuition support by obtaining a position in a research laboratory. Research is vital to your learning experience and all students are strongly urged to obtain a research laboratory prior to enrollment in the fall. We will make every effort to assist students in finding thesis research laboratories that can provide tuition support each semester. However, students are expected to take the initiative in finding the funded projects. International students are invited to contact faculty as soon as possible to try to secure funding. For further information on the cost of living at Johns Hopkins, please consult the current estimates of tuition and other expenses.
