Glasperlenspieler Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I just heard about the potential closing of the JHU Humanities Center (here: http://www.supporthumctrjhu.com/ and here: http://leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2016/10/humanities-center-at-johns-hopkins-under-threat-and-a-petition.html). I had been planning on applying but now I don't know. Does it still make sense to apply to a program in a situation like this? I presume they would refund application fees if they did in fact close, although I'd still be out the money to send GRE scores. Anyways, I thought I'd post this in case anyone else here was considering applying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poliscar Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I think the best bet is to just email them and ask upfront—see if they can answer questions about refunds, etc. It wouldn't surprise me if they ended up forwarding applications to other programs, i.e. German, History, Art History, English... Potentially also email POIs, and ask if they are open to working with incoming graduate students. You may receive answers that are more direct about the potential futures of faculty & the program.
