Please be aware that given our commitment to the health and safety of our current students, faculty, and staff, we will be unable to host student visitors on campus this Fall. Our hope is that in the Spring, admitted students will have an opportunity to visit campus and sit in on a class before having to commit to Hopkins. We will be providing opportunities for prospective students to meet our current students virtually throughout the Fall and Winter.
