Johns Hopkins University, Modern Languages and Literatures Department

Since opening its doors in 1876, The Johns Hopkins University has endeavored to achieve three main goals: to educate its students and cultivate their capacity for life-long learning, to foster independent and original research, and to bring the benefits of discovery to the world.
