Carey Business School


The Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, also referred to as Carey Business School or JHUCarey or simply Carey, is the business school of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. As "the newest school in America's first research university," the school offers full-time and part-time MBA degrees, master of science degrees, several dual degrees with other Johns Hopkins schools—including medicine, public health, arts and sciences, engineering, and nursing—and Maryland Institute College of Art, as well as a number of graduate certificates. The Carey Business School is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
James Carey, the namesake of the Carey Business School, is a relative to Johns Hopkins, a co-founder of the Gilman School, and ancestor to several founding trustees of the university and hospital. His sixth-generation decedent, William P. Carey, has been in active pursuit of establishing a business school for Johns Hopkins University since the 1950s and realized his "lifelong dream" in 2006.

History

The origins of the school can be traced back to 1909, when the "College Courses for Teachers" school was created at Hopkins. In 1925 the school changed its name to "College for Teachers", then adopted the name "McCoy College" in 1947 as it welcomed into its classrooms many World War II veterans studying on the G.I. Bill. In 1965, the school's name changed again, to "Evening College and Summer Session", until 1983, when it became known as the School of Continuing Studies. Then, in 1999, in order to more clearly reflect its two remaining major divisions, the school was renamed as the School of Professional Studies in Business and Education. Throughout all of these iterations, the central objective of serving the educational needs of working professionals, allowing them to complete degrees while maintaining careers, held true. Over the years, the school evolved from a teacher’s college to one of nine major schools within the university, housing the majority of Hopkins' part-time academic programs. On January 1, 2007, SPSBE separated into two new schools—the Johns Hopkins University Carey Business School, and the Johns Hopkins University School of Education; the latter soon rose to the status of the No. 1 ranked education school in the U.S.
This split was engendered by the late philanthropist William P. Carey's announcement on December 5, 2006 of his gift of $50 million to Johns Hopkins through his W. P. Carey Foundation, to create a freestanding business school at the university. The gift remains the largest to Hopkins in support of business education to date. The school is named in honor of Wm. Polk Carey's great-great-great-grandfather, James Carey, an 18th- and 19th-century Baltimore shipper, chairman of the Bank of Maryland, a member of Baltimore's first City Council, and a relative of university founder Johns Hopkins.
Alexander Triantis was named dean of the Carey Business School on July 1, 2019. Triantis replaces Bernard T. Ferrari who retired in July 2019 after seven years as Carey's dean.

Initiatives

In August 2010, the Carey Business School launched a full-time MBA program designed to "reinvent" the traditional approach to MBA education and embody the school's motto of "Teaching Business with Humanity in Mind."
The full-time MBA curriculum was completely "reimagined" for 2020 with greater emphasis on analytics and leadership skills such as negotiation, team building, communication, and change management. Experiential learning was also a major component of the MBA curriculum.
The new full-time MBA curriculum offers two pathways of study: Analytics, Innovation, and Leadership, and Health, Technology, and Innovation. Both paths of study require courses in artificial intelligence and design thinking as part of the core curriculum.
Since 2013, Carey Business School has offered full-time MS degrees in Real Estate and Infrastructure, Health Care Management, Business Analytics and Risk Management, Finance, Information Systems, and Marketing. The school also offers part-time Flex MBA and Master of Science degrees in Finance, Marketing, Real Estate and Infrastructure, Health Care Management, Finance, and Marketing. The Flex MBA and Master of Science degrees in Finance and Health Care Management are also available as online programs. Certificate programs are offered in Financial Management and Investments. Executive Education certificates and non-degree courses were added in 2015.
The school counts as one of its major strengths its ongoing partnerships and collaborations with other Johns Hopkins schools, including the School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health, plus the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, Whiting School of Engineering, and Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. From these partnerships have come a number of joint-degree MBA programs, including the MBA/MS in Nursing, the MBA/MS in Biotechnology, the MBA/MS in Applied Economics, the MBA/MA in Government, and the MBA/MA in Communication. Also available from the school and administered jointly with the School of Medicine is the MBA in Medical Services Management; and, with the Bloomberg School of Public Health and on a full-time basis, the MBA/Master of Public Health. In 2012, Carey began offering a MBA/MA in Design Leadership, in collaboration with the Maryland Institute College of Art.
The Carey Business School continues to undergo significant institutional development, hiring additional full-time faculty and exploring new course and program offerings.

Academics

The Carey Business School's flagship program is the full-time MBA, which the school launched in 2010. In September 2019, Carey "reimagined" its full-time MBA program with new courses and strategic focus on experiential learning opportunities. The program also emphasizes analytical and leadership skills to prepare students to advance and excel in the ever-changing business world.
Key components of the program include the Big Data Consulting Project where students partner with leading companies to gain practical experience in analyzing a data set related to a business challenge. The Innovation Field Project places students on-site with partner organizations across different industries and sectors throughout the country. MBA students can also specialize in Health, Technology, and Innovation specialization, which capitalizes on Johns Hopkins world-renowned leadership in medicine, nursing, public health, and advanced biotechnology.
The Carey Business School also offers distinctive Master of Science degrees that cover several specialties in innovative formats. They are offered as both full-time or part-time programs. The full-time MS in Finance, MS in Business Analytics and Risk Management, MS in Information Systems, and MS in Marketing are all STEM-designated. Master's students, upon completing their degrees at Carey, also have the option of earning an MBA in only 36 additional credits.
The Johns Hopkins Carey Business School is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business and Middle States Commission on Higher Education
