Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Hopkins is particularly known worldwide for its excellence in medicine, public health, economic studies, international relations, literature, the arts, and numerous areas of applied scientific research. Thirty-seven of the university's alumni have been awarded the Nobel Prize. According to the National Science Foundation, Johns Hopkins received more than $1.5 billion in research funding from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the U.S. Department of Defense in fiscal year 2007, making it the nation's highest annual research funding university for 30 consecutive years. As of 2008, 130 members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, Medicine, and Arts and Sciences were enrolled at Johns Hopkins. As of 2005, eight Johns Hopkins researchers have received the National Medal of Science.

Johns Hopkins is also one of the 14 founding schools of the Association of American Universities (AAU). In addition to Baltimore, the university also has full-time teaching and research facilities in other parts of Maryland, Washington, D.C., Italy, Singapore, and China. Johns Hopkins began as the first modern research university in the United States, and its success sparked the transformation of American universities into research universities and the establishment of a number of new research universities. Johns Hopkins is also home to the ground control centers for the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope. With 4,744 undergraduate students and 14,275 graduate students, and a faculty of 3,100, Johns Hopkins has a student-to-faculty ratio of 1:6, making it one of the world's leading institutions of higher learning.

Hopkins' iconic Gilman Hall When John Hopkins, a Baltimore, Maryland, banker and Quaker, died in 1873, he left a large estate worth $7 million (equivalent to $1.6 billion in 2006 in purchasing power). In 1875, the trustees of his estate purchased the first parcel of land on Howard Street in downtown Baltimore as the future campus of the university, and on January 22, 1876, Johns Hopkins University was officially founded.

Hopkins was the nation's first research university with the goal of "encouraging research and the advancement of independent scholars so that they may, through their superb learning, move forward the science they pursue and the society in which they live." Hopkins' founders wanted to leave behind the old stereotypes of the American Academy and create a new type of research university focused on expanding knowledge, graduate education, and encouraging a research ethos. Modeled after the German university model advocated by Wilhelm Humboldt and others and represented by the Humboldt University of Berlin, Johns Hopkins was the first university in the United States to teach in discussion classes and to admit undergraduates in separate majors, and its philosophy and model had a tremendous impact on and were emulated by later American universities, such as the University of Chicago. The university's Latin motto is Veritas vos liberabit (The truth will set you free, from the Bible, John 8:32). The university's coat of arms features the family coat of arms of the founding fathers of Maryland, the Lords of Baltimore, supported by an oak branch in the center, with books and a globe symbolizing the arts and scientific research. The first president of Hopkins University was Daniel Gilman.
