Master's in International Studies

The Johns Hopkins Direct Matriculation Program: Master’s in International Studies allows qualified students displaying a strong interest in international studies to pursue a combined bachelor’s/master’s degree with the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington, D.C.; Bologna, Italy; or Nanjing, China. Students entering their master’s program at SAIS will have the option of starting in either of these three cities for an immersive and global learning experience.

Students selected to this Direct Matriculation Program as applicants who maintain the required academic standards are guaranteed admission into the SAIS program, with two options: they can complete the full four years of undergraduate study at the Homewood campus, then go to SAIS to complete their master’s degree in two additional years; or, they may choose to complete their undergraduate degree in three years and then complete the master’s at SAIS in two years. This five- or six-year program allows selected students an outstanding chance to pursue an intensive undergraduate international studies program with guaranteed enrollment in a two-year master’s degree from SAIS.
