What if I am enrolled in a 5 year BS/MS and BA/MS combined degree program?
A number of you who are participating in 5 year BS/MS and BA/MS combined degree programs have raised questions concerning whether you should create two separate entries in the Schools Attended section or one Johns Hopkins entry including both the bachelors degree and the masters degree. Furthermore, it has been unclear how you should enter your coursework (as you know, since these programs are a combined 5-years, Hopkins doesn’t clearly differentiate which courses count towards the BA or BS and which courses count towards the MS). The word on this from AMCAS is not definitive. One option is to list JHU twice, one for your bachelors and the other for your masters. In this case you would list the first four years of coursework under the undergraduate degree and the last year of courses under the graduate degree. The other option is to list both degrees under a single JHU entry. If you use this option, you simply list the courses in order of semester enrolled.
