Dear Student:
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School. As a member of the master’s degree program, you are poised for a fascinating and challenging journey that will impact your life in powerful and positive ways. The Carey Business School was founded at Johns Hopkins University thanks to the vision of the late philanthropist, William P. Carey. Put simply, he believed that business education could help build a better society. This guiding principle transformed the university’s 90-year-old business program into the AACSB-accredited business school we are today.
In choosing Carey, you will be joining a special place where business is taught with humanity in mind. Your courses will present business concepts in a rigorous and integrated framework that emphasizes practical applications while challenging you to address real-world problems. Our learning environment fosters thoughtful discussion of critical business issues, including ethics, leadership, and community engagement, with not only the Carey faculty but also with a wide range of business and community leaders. Special emphasis is placed on experiential learning as you work with businesses and nongovernmental organizations around the globe.
In addition to the day-to-day support you will receive from the dedicated faculty and staff of the Carey School, you will benefit from being part of Johns Hopkins University. All of us, individually and collectively, are committed to your success.
So again, welcome to Johns Hopkins University and the Carey Business School. I wish you a wonderful experience filled with discovery and achievement.
Sincerely,
Bernard T. Ferrari Professor and Dean

Academic Ethics Policy (AEP) 2017-2018 Preamble
The Johns Hopkins University (University or JHU) and the Carey Business School (School or CBS) have a reputation for academic excellence and integrity. As members of this community, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of ethical behavior in our endeavor to create knowledge for the world. It is our personal and professional responsibility to uphold an environment of excellence, respect, integrity and leadership in our community.
Statement of Commitment
The Carey Business School measures success by the way a graduate stands out as an innovative business leader and exemplary global citizen. The Carey community believes that honesty, integrity, and community responsibility are qualities inherent in an exemplary citizen. The objective of the Academic Ethics Policy (AEP or Policy) is to create an environment of trust and respect among all members of the academic community while the qualities associated with success are developed in students.
While this policy and the potential sanctions outlined herein pertain to Carey students, it is the responsibility of every student, faculty member, and staff member to familiarize themselves with the Academic Ethics Policy and its procedures. For students in particular, failure to become acquainted with this information will not excuse any student from responsibility to abide by the rules and procedures described herein.
The Academic Ethics Policy requires that each student act with honesty and integrity in all academic activities and that each student endeavor to hold his or her peers to the same standard. The Academic Ethics Policy exists to: (1) ensure the highest level of personal and professional conduct by our students, and (2) provide a fair, deliberative, impartial, timely and efficient process for resolving allegations of academic dishonesty.
Upon witnessing an alleged violation of the Academic Ethics Policy, a student, faculty member, or staff member shall inform the responsible faculty member (if known) and the Director of Student Services, of both the alleged violation and the name of the student accused of committing the alleged violation. The report should be in writing, preferably using the reporting form which can be obtained from the Student Services Office ([email protected]) or by visiting the Academic Ethics Policy webpage (http://carey.jhu.edu/life-at-carey/student-resources/honor-code/), unless circumstances are such that an immediate oral report should be made (e.g., during a quiz or final exam). If an oral report is made, it should be followed as promptly as possible with a written report. Each member of the Carey community, as a person of integrity, has a personal obligation to adhere to this requirement. It is only by upholding the Academic Ethics Policy that members of the entire Carey community can contribute to the School’s ability to maintain its high standards and its reputation. Students aware of a violation who fail to report it may also be found in violation of the Academic Ethics Policy.
