The Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts & Sciences (KSAS) is an academic division of the Johns Hopkins University, a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland. The school is located on the university's Homewood campus. It is the core of Johns Hopkins, offering comprehensive undergraduate education and graduate training in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences.
History
Johns Hopkins University, founded as the nation's first research university in 1876, originally hired "thirty of the profoundest scholars in the varied field of literature that can be secured, and which, with its magnificent endowment, will undoubtedly become one of the leading institutions of learning in America".
The current School of Arts and Sciences was formed when the Faculty of Philosophy merged with the Faculty of Engineering in 1967–1968.
In December 1992, Zanvyl Krieger, a 1928 alumnus, gave a $50 million challenge grant to the School of Arts and Sciences, "the largest monetary gift in the university's history and one of the largest in American higher education". The school was renamed for Krieger, who explained that he chose to give the gift to the arts and sciences school because "People don't realize that everything emanates from the arts and science college. It is the nucleus of the foundation of the university as a whole."".
In November 2013, the university released its draft "Strategic Planning Final Report for the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences". Under the plan, fewer graduate students would be admitted (with enrollment cuts of 25% across departments), but graduate stipends were to be increased. In addition, more junior teaching faculty would replace retiring senior faculty.
Students objected in October 2016 when closure of the Humanities Center was under consideration. In January 2017, the school's dean assured them that the center would not close, but would be reorganized around one of three proposals: "...keeping the center’s name while rethinking its role in relation to other humanities departments; renaming the department as something that more 'clearly conveys its identity and focus'; or transforming the humanities center into a comparative literature department..."
October 2017 brought cancellation of the institution's Russian major, which was no longer compatible with the partner program in Russian at Goucher College. Russian courses continue to be taught, but a major in Russian is not available.
A university-wide promotion and tenure committee was established in 2020, to be piloted for three years and then evaluated.
Academics
KSAS's educational offerings include over 60 undergraduate majors and minors, more than 40 full-time graduate programs, and over 20 part-time graduate programs.
All first-year undergraduates at the Krieger School are required to take part in a First-Year Seminar, which are designed to help students connect with their peers and faculty while settling into their freshman year of college, and the University Writing Program, which offers a Reintroduction to Writing course.
