Maryland: Tuition Free STEM Courses from JHU For Teachers

The Johns Hopkins University's Engineering for Professionals, which is part of the University's Whiting School of Engineering has implemented a program which is aimed at reversing a trend among our youth whereby they are performing far behind other countries in STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).

Statistics from the National Center for Education Statistics, show that 15 year old students from the US placed in the bottom third, and in the bottom quarter, respectively, for science and math literacy among 30 developed countries.

The program at JHU will allow for a limited number of STEM teachers from public and private schools in Maryland to take tuition free courses in STEM related subjects at the University.
