Emory at a Glance

Gate Crossing and Coke Toast 25
  • Emory University is a top-ranked private research institution known for rigorous academics, a strong liberal arts foundation, and leading professional programs. Founded in 1836 in Oxford, Georgia, Emory moved to Atlanta in 1915 with a transformative gift from Asa G. Candler, founder of The Coca-Cola Company. Today, Emory has two campuses: one in Atlanta and one in Oxford, Georgia, where Oxford College is located.

    Emory’s people and academics come together in a shared mission to make a difference in the world. It’s a place where you’ll feel a shared sense of community, purpose, and opportunity—a distinctive energy that we share with our hometown of Atlanta.
