University
is a nationally recognized university of some
11,600 students representing all 50 states and
more than 90 foreign countries. It offers a
rewarding environment for the student with
serious intellectual and professional
interests. The broad liberal arts curriculum
includes over 75 majors, 55 minors, 9
pre-professional programs, 10 four-year combined
bachelor/master degrees offered in ten
disciplines, and 2 combined degrees in
engineering.
Emory fosters openness and diversity of thought,
experience, and culture. We welcome diversity
in all areas, including but not limited to,
ethnicity, gender, religion, philosophy, sexual
orientation, and physical ability. At Emory we
expect our students to do well and also do good
for the world. We strive to offer multicultural
and gender-balanced education in the curriculum,
instruction, and services provided to our
students.
Essence of Academic Life:
Emory University is known for an outstanding
undergraduate college of arts and sciences,
highly ranked professional schools, demanding
academics, and state-of-the-art research
facilities. Undergraduate programs in
humanities, sciences, business, and nursing
allow students to explore their talents. Choose
between two campuses for freshman and sophomore
years — the main campus in
Atlanta,
or Oxford, where the school was originally
founded. By junior year, all students take
classes on the main Atlanta campus where you
have the opportunity to continue with liberal
arts courses or to apply to either the highly
regarded business or nursing schools.
Emory students enjoy the resources and facilities
you would expect from a major research
university combined with the small classes and
faculty attention found at a smaller liberal
arts college. For example: a student/faculty
ratio of 7 to 1; an average class size of 18
students; 92% of classes have fewer than 50
students; 90% of classes are taught by
full-time faculty; 99% of the more than 700
professors hold their field’s terminal degree.
Essence of Diversity:
Emory knows that diversity stimulates and
improves the intellectual life of our campus.
To maintain and foster diversity we offer a
variety of cross-cultural academic programs in
African American Studies, African Studies,
American Studies, Arabic, Asian Studies, Chinese
Studies, French Studies, German Studies, Hebrew,
Interdisciplinary Studies in Culture and
Society, International Studies, Italian Studies,
Japanese Studies, Jewish Studies, Latin American
and Caribbean Studies, Middle Eastern Studies,
Persian, Portuguese, Russian Studies, Spanish
Studies, and Women’s Studies. |
Emory provides a variety of multicultural student
services, organizations, and events.
Organizations include, but are not limited to:
Black Student Alliance; Students in
Alliance
for Asian American Concerns; Latino Student
Organization.
The Office of Multicultural Programs and Services
is a great asset to students and plans numerous
programs and cultural celebrations. Speakers,
entertainers, and guests who have recently
visited the campus include: Lalo Alcarez; Nikki
Giovanni; OutKast; Maya Angelous; The Dalai
Lama; Desmond Tutu; Busta Rhymes; E. Lynn
Harris; David Henry Hwang; Margaret Cho; Spike
Lee; Cornell West.
Essence of
Atlanta, GA:
Atlanta is the cultural, technological, and
financial hub of the Southeast and the nation,
and it can offer seemingly endless sources of
entertainment, internships, and jobs after
graduation. Students can enjoy the excitement of
city life or the quiet of Emory’s green campus
located in the historic residential neighborhood
7 miles from downtown.
