Johns Hopkins University[a] (often abbreviated as Johns Hopkins, Hopkins, or JHU) is a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland. Founded in 1876, Johns Hopkins was the first American university based on the European research institution model.[6] The university also has graduate campuses in Italy, China, and Washington, D.C.[7]
The university was named for its first benefactor, the American entrepreneur and Quaker philanthropist Johns Hopkins.[8] Hopkins's $7 million bequest to establish the university was the largest philanthropic gift in U.S. history up to that time.[9][10] Daniel Coit Gilman, who was inaugurated as Johns Hopkins's first president on February 22, 1876,[11] led the university to revolutionize higher education in the U.S. by integrating teaching and research.[12] In 1900, Johns Hopkins became a founding member of the American Association of Universities.[13] The university has led all U.S. universities in annual research and development expenditures for over four consecutive decades ($3.18 billion as of fiscal year 2021).[14][15]
While its primary campus is in Baltimore, Johns Hopkins also maintains ten divisions on campuses in other Maryland locations, including Laurel, Rockville, Columbia, Aberdeen, California, Elkridge, and Owings Mills.[16] The two undergraduate divisions, the Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the Whiting School of Engineering are located on the Homewood campus in Baltimore's Charles Village neighborhood.[17] The medical school, nursing school, Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Johns Hopkins Children's Center are located on the Medical Institutions campus in East Baltimore.[18] The university also consists of the Peabody Institute, Applied Physics Laboratory, Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, School of Education, Carey Business School, and various other facilities.[19]
Founded in 1883, the Blue Jays men's lacrosse team has captured 44 national titles[20] and plays in the Big Ten Conference as an affiliate member.[21] The university's other sports teams compete in Division III of the NCAA as members of the Centennial Conference.
