Advanced Academic Programs

The Advanced Academic Programs (AAP) is a division of the Krieger School of Arts & Sciences at the Johns Hopkins University (JHU). As the nation's oldest and one of its most prestigious research universities, JHU offers high-quality master's degrees and post-baccalaureate education to students online, at its Washington, DC Center, and at the Homewood campus in Baltimore, MD. AAP enrolls over 6,000 students each academic year in over 45-degree programs.

Since its creation in 1992, AAP has provided students with the opportunity to obtain a master's degree in professional and part-time graduate programs. Over the course of nearly 30 years, AAP has worked diligently to add new degree programs that fit within the academic structure of the Krieger School and satisfy the demands of the marketplace. AAP distinguishes itself through its intensive instructional assistance, selective admissions, and more than 50 dedicated full-time faculty. Tenured Krieger School faculty members serve as Program Chairs within AAP and work together in the Council of Program Chairs, an academic advisory body to the Krieger School Dean.

With an ever-growing student body, the Environmental Sciences and Policy program is continually expanding and enhancing its course offerings to meet both academic and practitioner needs.
