Begin your studies online and finish your degree early!

Starting for students admitted to the Fall 2025 semester and later, students can begin their programs early by participating in the Home-to-Hopkins program!  Students may take up to two courses online at home during the summer before arriving on campus for full-time study at our Homewood Campus!  View this Sample Programs document to see how you can finish your degree early.

Any two of these courses, which are offered in various summer terms – some every summer and some in alternating summers – will be accepted toward a student’s master’s degree, assuming proper grades have been earned, which is B- or higher (one course for entire degree can be graded C+, C, or C-).
