Bachelor's / Master of Health Science (Bachelor's/MHS)

The Bachelor's/MHS is designed exclusively for undergraduate students currently enrolled at Johns Hopkins University (JHU). 

JHU undergraduate students have the unique opportunity to seek early admission to the Master of Health Science (MHS) in Mental Health degree. The combined Bachelor's/MHS program prepares students for further graduate studies (e.g., medical school, doctoral programs) or prominent careers in research and science.  Up to 16 interdivisional credits counted towards the student's bachelor's degree may also apply to the student’s master’s degree requirements. Students in this program will receive co-advising from both schools to optimize their academic experience.

To learn more, please review the specific program details for the Master of Health Science (MHS) program offered by the Department of Mental Health.

Bachelor's/MHS degree applications should be submitted through SOPHAS Express by July 1 between junior and senior years.  JHU seniors can also apply during the beginning of their senior year until October 15 once the application reopens in mid-August.
