Hi all.

I was wondering if anyone out there in the PF community, themselves or knew someone who is working on a masters degree in Applied Physics, online, from Johns Hopkins.

I've never heard of upper level physics classes like the ones listed, being done online. Thoughts?

I am having the exact question that you asked above. I am wondering if you got any responses and that you were able to make a decision. Can you help me understand if this Applied Physics Program (Online) from JHU a good choice. I also find the fees a little on the higher side for an online program.

Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Manu

It might be possible to search LinkedIn for physicists/engineers that have a Physics MS degree from John Hopkins. A little searching might reveal a handful of people that did the degree online. Then you could message them directly to ask about their experience. Just a thought since I do not have any first hand experience, but have considered trying a class for fun ;)

Hey Manu,

So, I am local to JHU and have a friend from work who did it. He said it was quite good and he learned a lot. However, he also took some in person courses, in photonics, electronics, optics. However, the mathematics courses and more theoretical physics courses were fine online he said.
I have a friend currently in the program, he is saying it really isn't too challenging, he is doing space systems engineering online with them, not applied physics. He says its not that hard, which is shocking. However, he is employed by Johns Hopkins and works at the JHU Advanced Physics Lab (APL), so he gets tuition for free.
The cost of the program is really expensive, I think you must really think you'll benefit from the program to justify the cost...
