Johns Hopkins Carey Expands MBA to D.C. & Launches New Programs

“The Carey Business School is growing globally,” says Carey Dean Alex Triantis. “[We are] building on our commitment to Baltimore while we expand access to world-class business education.”

The expansion of which Triantis speaks will take place in fall 2026, when the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School will offer its Full-time MBA program at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center in Washington, D.C. Carey will also launch a new hybrid Executive MBA at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center. In addition to the move to Washington D.C., Carey will also launch new programs at its Baltimore location. The Baltimore location will house the full-time dual degrees, as well as the new Masters in Management and Accelerated MBA.

Both the move and the addition of new programs bear the hallmarks of Carey’s excellence: expertise in the business of health innovation, a focus on the future of tech, and an award-winning experiential learning curriculum.

“Our job is to set our students up for success,” says Triantis. “One important way we can do that is to offer them learning environments that spark their passion and curiosity.”

New Programs Launched; Healthcare Innovation Remains a Focus 

In Washington D.C., Carey will launch a new Executive MBA program as well as offering its Full-time MBA program.

At the Baltimore location, two new programs will be available: an Accelerated MBA program, for both graduate students and recent alumni looking to gain a business degree; and a Master of Science in Management, or MiM. 

In addition to these programs, Carey is adding a full-time dual PhD/MBA with the Bloomberg School of Public Health to its Baltimore location. The move aligns with Carey’s long-held position as a leader in the field of health innovation; funneling large numbers of students into healthcare careers, engaging over a quarter of faculty in researching the health industry, and offering multiple healthcare specializations across both its existing and new programs. In partnership with the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Carey will also establish a new Academy for Transformative Health Care Leadership.

The continued focus on healthcare innovation at Carey allows it to meet a growing demand in the D.C. area: the need for healthcare leaders who understand the sector from both a business and a clinical angle. 

New EMBA Curriculum Will Integrate AI  

Carey was one of the first business schools to integrate artificial intelligence into its STEM-based curriculum. Now it continues its mission to optimize the use of data science in business by integrating AI into the hybrid Executive MBA (EMBA). AI is already influencing industries, and will continue to do so; the EMBA’s AI integration will prepare its graduates for the ways in which it does so. 

The focus here isn’t limited to the technical use of AI, but considers ethical and responsible angles, too. Our students “are building startups, shaping policy, and reimagining industries,” says Tinglong Dai, the Bernard T. Ferrari Professor at the Carey Business School. “They are not just prepared for the future. They are already shaping it.”

Carey Continues its Experiential Learning  

Each of the extended or newly launched programs will continue Carey’s legacy of experiential learning. Carey is a business school that offers its students the chance to “learn by doing.” In practice, this looks like myriad opportunities for students to work with external organizations and companies; industry giants and household names such as Siemens, AstraZeneca, or the International Monetary Fund. These collaborations exist as part of Carey’s many immersive offerings — such as the eight-week intensive placement, the Innovation Field Project, a project that challenges student teams to act as consultants and advise on the challenges faced by businesses. 

The benefits of these projects are mutual, assisting not just students (who wish to gain valuable industry experience and increase their chances of employment or internships) but businesses too, who benefit from the innovation of the students they work with.
