“A top-25 research university in the heart of Atlanta, where rigorous academics meet a vibrant city and a global community committed to positive impact.”
Emory University is one of the nation's leading research universities, consistently ranked among the top 25 national universities by U.S. News & World Report. Situated in Atlanta's historic Druid Hills neighborhood, Emory offers students the best of both worlds: a beautiful, park-like residential campus just minutes from a world-class city. The university's proximity to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which is headquartered adjacent to campus, provides unparalleled research and internship opportunities in public health, medicine, and related sciences — a defining advantage few universities can match. With over 80 majors, more than 60 minors, and a commitment to interdisciplinary inquiry, Emory equips students with the intellectual toolkit to address the world's most pressing challenges. Emory's academic strengths span an extraordinary range. The Goizueta Business School is one of the nation's most selective undergraduate business programs, ranked #12 nationally by U.S. News. The Rollins School of Public Health is among the country's elite, the Emory School of Medicine is a top-20 medical school, and the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing is ranked #2 in the nation for its BSN program. Neuroscience, economics, political science, biology, and computer science round out a portfolio of programs with extraordinary faculty and research output. Emory also maintains a unique two-campus model: Emory College of Arts and Sciences in Atlanta offers the full breadth of undergraduate experience, while Oxford College — a liberal arts college 36 miles away in Oxford, Georgia — provides an intimate, residential first-year experience before students transition to the Atlanta campus for their junior and senior years. Student life at Emory is defined by intellectual curiosity, civic engagement, and a deeply international community. With over 3,400 international students from more than 100 countries, the campus pulses with global perspectives. More than 80% of students volunteer each year, reflecting an institutional culture of service. The 325+ student clubs and organizations, 19 NCAA Division III varsity sports, 330+ annual arts events, and beloved traditions like Dooley's Week and the Carter Town Hall foster a spirited community. Atlanta itself is an extension of the campus: students access 3,000+ internship sites, a thriving startup ecosystem, world-class museums and performing arts venues, and the 22-mile BeltLine.
