Why Students Choose Emory

Students choose Emory for more than outstanding academics. They come for the freedom to explore broadly, the support to engage deeply, and the opportunity to connect what they learn with the questions and challenges that matter to them.

Health, Medicine, and the Life Sciences at Emory

Students interested in health, medicine, public health, neuroscience, and biomedical research can explore these fields within Emory’s broader liberal arts and research environment.

Two Ways to Begin at Emory

Emory University offers two distinct ways to start as an undergraduate. Students may begin at Emory College of Arts and Sciences in Atlanta or at Oxford College in Oxford, Georgia.

Both experiences are part of Emory University and provide a strong liberal arts foundation, close faculty engagement, and access to the opportunities of a major research university.
