Deadlines and Decisions

☀️ Summer 2025 Application Deadlines

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and only completed applications are considered.
💡Tip: Spots are limited and tend to fill quickly, so we encourage you to apply early.
Most decisions are released within five weeks—or sooner.

International students participating in an in-person Engineering Innovation program must obtain an F-1 visa.
If you require an F-1 visa, please apply by the visa deadline to allow enough time for processing.
The F-1 visa process can be lengthy, and we want to ensure you have time to secure the necessary documents.
Visit the Johns Hopkins Office of International Services for more information about F-1 visa requirements.

If you live outside the contiguous United States and are applying to an online program, please apply by the Online Applicants Outside Contiguous U.S. deadline.
This ensures there’s enough time for your lab kit to arrive before the course begins.
