New Scholars

Johns Hopkins acts as a J-1 Program Sponsor for J-1 Exchange Visitors to participate in academic and cross-cultural activities across our campuses within the U.S. More information about the J-1 Exchange Visitor program is provided here. Department of State requires that all J-1 Exchange Visitors review the Welcome Brochure.

The information in this section provides important details about the J-1 Exchange Visitor Program for prospective and incoming J-1 Scholars, invited to engage in academic and research activities with a specific hosting department at Johns Hopkins University. (Individuals seeking to connect with a potential hosting department at Johns Hopkins can begin by visiting www.jhu.edu and searching for available research opportunities).

• J-1 Scholars who hold active appointments at Johns Hopkins should refer to the section of our website for Current J-1 Scholars.
• Johns Hopkins Departments that host J-1 Scholars may refer to the information outlined on our Department Administrators pages.

Please contact OIS at J1-Advising@jhu.edu for additional support and guidance on J-1 Exchange Visitor-related questions.
