When you applied to Hopkins, you applied to the full University, and not to a specific school or major (except in the case of Biomedical Engineering, see below). Upon matriculating, you can choose any major you’re interested in pursuing across the Whiting School of Engineering and Krieger School of Arts & Sciences. You are not bound to the major you listed on your application.
The one exception to this policy is our Biomedical Engineering (BME) major. Applicants must apply and be admitted to the BME program during the application period. Applicants not admitted to the BME major, or applicants that didn’t apply for the BME program are not able to select that as their intended major.
In some cases, students can defer their enrollment for up to two years to pursue a travel, work, or family experience. Deferrals are granted on an individual basis and are not guaranteed. They are for one-year or two-year periods only. Students are not permitted to study at another institution for credit during their deferral year(s) and must begin their studies in the fall semester upon their return.
If you would like to defer your admission, you must first accept your spot by submitting the Reply Form in your applicant portal and paying your enrollment deposit. You’ll then be able to submit the deferral request form.
