Johns Hopkins Engineering Executive and Professional Education

Johns Hopkins University, founded in 1836, is America’s first research university, with the Whiting School of Engineering dating back to 1913. At Johns Hopkins Engineering, we advance data- and science-driven engineering discovery, innovation, and systems applications to help everyone live longer and healthier lives and empower communities and society to thrive even in extreme environments.

Johns Hopkins Engineering provides educational offerings ranging from pre-college summer courses, to undergraduate, graduate, PhD, and professional and executive education. The school features 10 academic departments and more than 26 academic centers and institutes. Learners at all levels benefit from renowned faculty who are experts in their fields.  Instructors come from across the university as well as from the JHU Applied Physics Lab – the largest university-affiliated research entity in the US.  We offer more than 70 degree-granting academic programs, while the Executive and Professional Education’s non-degree portfolio offers dozens of flexible options from individual courses to full certificates. 

Johns Hopkins Engineering has more than 25 research centers and institutes spanning across university divisions, as well as global partnerships with industry, government, and other universities. Only here are we able to collaborate with researchers and clinicians at the renowned schools of Medicine, Public Health, Arts and Sciences, and the School of Government Policy in Washington, D.C., as well as the JHU Applied Physics Lab. Notable efforts include the global COVID-19 tracking map, chlorinated water, and the creation of digital twin heart models used for diagnosing and treating cardiac disease. We are leading innovations in areas from bioengineering and robotics to cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. 

Graduates of Johns Hopkins Engineering Executive and Professional Education programs gain in-demand skills that open doors in today’s most competitive fields. Our certificates signal expertise in areas like AI, cybersecurity, and data science—credentials trusted by employers worldwide. According to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, professionals with certificates in topics like project management, data analytics, or systems engineering were more likely to move into leadership roles or cross-disciplinary teams. A 2023 LinkedIn Learning’s Workplace Learning Report revealed that 76% of professionals believe that certifications and short-term learning directly helped them get promoted or land a better job.
