Academic Advising

Oxford London Program Student

Depending on where you start—Emory College in Atlanta or Oxford College in Oxford, Georgia—you will be assigned to an academic advisor who will help you explore majors, meet degree requirements and build a strong academic foundation.

When you declare your major, you will also work with a faculty advisor in your discipline, either in the College of Arts and Sciences, Goizueta Business School, or Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing.

Students can pursue double majors across Goizueta Business School and Emory College accessing resources and guidance from both. For example, about 40% of Emory business students also complete a major in the College of Arts and Sciences receiving comprehensive guidance and support across their fields of study.
