Johns Hopkins University

The university was founded on January 22, 1876 and was the first U.S. university to teach through seminars, instead of solely through lectures, as well as the first U.S. university to offer an undergraduate major (as opposed to a purely liberal arts curriculum). As such, Johns Hopkins was a model for most large research universities in the United States.

Johns Hopkins is regarded as one of the top universities in the world. In 2010, U.S. News & World Report ranked Johns Hopkins #13 in the world. Over 30 Nobel Prize winners are affiliated with the university, either as graduates or as faculty.  The university is among the most cited institutions in the world.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has ranked Johns Hopkins #1 among U.S. academic institutions in total science, medical and engineering research and development spending for 30 years in a row.
