Guided Tours and Information Sessions
Come see for yourself! Information sessions led by an admissions representative and guided tours with a current Johns Hopkins student are offered most weekdays and on selected Saturdays in the fall. Selected classes are also open for auditing during the fall and spring semesters.

To get the most out of your visit, we recommend arriving 10 to 15 minutes before the start of your tour and session and wearing comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. Please allow at least two hours for your visit. Information sessions and tours begin in the lobby of Mason Hall, and we ask that you check in at the admissions desk upon arrival. Click here for directions and parking information.

There is no need to make a reservation for weekday programs, unless your group has 20 or more people. Large groups are asked to call (410) 516-8171 at least two weeks in advance. Those needing special accommodations or disability access are also asked to call a week ahead.

Weekday Schedule
We offer information sessions at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on most weekdays, followed by guided tours at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. However, exceptions to this schedule occur throughout the year. Please check your date by clicking on the month of your intended weekday visit. This web site is updated frequently, so be sure to double-check prior to departure.
