international centers in Italy, China, and Singapore.The two undergraduate
divisions, the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the Whiting School of
Engineering, are located on the Homewood campus in Baltimore’s Charles Village
neighborhood.The medical school, the nursing school, and the Bloomberg School
