Top Ranked Programs
Johns Hopkins University's program mix is anchored in biological sciences, quantitative fields, and applied research — a portfolio shaped by the university's identity as a research-intensive private institution in Baltimore. Cell/Cellular Biology and Anatomical Sciences is the largest program with 172 graduates annually, followed by Artificial Intelligence, Public Health, Mathematics, and Economics. Biological Sciences dominates the degree portfolio at 16% of graduates, with Social Sciences at 15% and Arts at 5% rounding out the core concentration. Across 39 programs serving roughly 1,896 students annually, 14 meet Azimuth's [ranking threshold](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/). The highest four-year median earnings belong to Artificial Intelligence, where 151 graduates earn $196,467 four years after enrollment. Azimuth ranks Artificial Intelligence #2 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Mathematics is another standout, with 135 graduates earning $134,785 — Azimuth ranks the program #8 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. The Cell/Cellular Biology and Anatomical Sciences program graduates 172 students with median earnings of $56,543, and Azimuth ranks it #18 nationally for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Several of Johns Hopkins University's strongest programs are grad-school-dependent pathways — particularly Cell/Cellular Biology and Anatomical Sciences, Artificial Intelligence, and Mathematics — where four-year earnings undercount lifetime trajectory because a meaningful share of graduates continue to medical school or doctoral programs. Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics, by contrast, are high-mobility programs where graduates enter the workforce directly.
