Below is a list of full-time graduate programs in the Whiting School of Engineering.  All programs offer both master's and doctoral degrees (though the doctoral program in Biomedical Engineering is housed by the School of Medicine). 

Prospective students are encouraged to contact the departments directly.

Applied Mathematics & Statistics
Research focuses on the general area of applied mathematics, including probability, statistics, operations research, optimization, discrete math, and numerical analysis.

Biomedical Engineering 
Research focuses on eight general areas: imaging, biomaterials, tissue engineering, sensors and instrumentation, cardiovascular systems physiology, molecular and cellular systems physiology, systems neurobiology, and theoretical and computational biology.

Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
Research focuses on thermodynamics, fluid dynamics and rheology, interfacial phenomena, nucleation, genomics, DNA technology, cell and tissue engineering, protein engineering, biomaterials, and complex fluids.

Civil Engineering
Research focuses on the general areas of structural engineering, structural mechanics, materials, geotechnical engineering and geomechanics, probabilistic methods, and hazard management.

Computer Science
Research focuses on algorithms, distributed and fault-tolerant computing and networks, biomedical applications of computer science, object-oriented programming languages and methodologies, robotics and computer vision, geometric computing and computer graphics, concurrent and parallel computer systems, machine learning, computational biology, natural language processing, security, metacomputing, artificial intelligence, and human-computer interaction.

Electrical and Computer Engineering
Research focuses on the general areas of parallel processing, image analysis and communications, solid-state electronics, optical communications, sensory aids, systems and control theory, photonics and optoelectronics, and language and speech processing.

Geography and Environmental Engineering
Research focuses on the general areas of environmental engineering including environmental chemistry and biology/ecology; fluid mechanics and water resources; geomorphology; systems analysis and economics for public decision-making; and technology, society, and environmental change.

Johns Hopkins University Information Security Institute
Research activities ongoing in the Hopkins ISI are based on holistic perspective to networks, operating systems, assurance evaluations, cryptographic systems, electronic voting issues, Web security, legal issues and regulations and privacy-protecting infrastructures and policies that facilitate the development of uniform standards such as those mandated, for example, by HIPAA.

Materials Science and Engineering
Research focuses on the general areas of materials synthesis and characterization, nanostructured materials and thin films, computational materials science, metallic glasses, electronic materials, biomaterials, and nondestructive evaluation.

Mechanical Engineering
Research focuses on: (i) micro/nanoscale science and engineering, (ii) computational engineering, (iii) aerospace and marine systems, (iv) robotics and human-machine interaction, (v) energy and the environment, (vi) ME in biology and medicine. The major areas by discipline are mechanics and materials, fluid mechanics and heat transfer, and robotics and electro-mechanical systems.
