The Schools of Arts and Sciences and Engineering permit undergraduates to receive a maximum of 12 credits towards their degree requirements from approved courses taken at other colleges either prior to matriculation or in summer school after matriculation.
Credit is granted for college-level work completed in a college setting only.
Courses taken on a high school campus, by correspondence, or through CLEP are not accepted for advanced standing credit. The 12 credit limit does not apply to courses taken after matriculation through the cooperative study program that Johns Hopkins has with neighboring schools in the Baltimore area. This program enables enrolled students to take one course per semester at any one of several local schools during the fall and spring terms. There is no limit on the number of credits that students can earn toward graduation through the Hopkins Arts and Sciences Summer School program after matriculation. If you took AP exams, please have the results forwarded to the Johns Hopkins Office of Admissions.
