study that f its your interests and goals. Emory’s

extensive degree choices, excellent faculty, and broad

interests, expand your ideas, and enrich the world.

Not Your Typical Liberal Arts

Emory University is known for academic excellence and a progressive thinking that challenges its graduates to make an impact with what they learn.

Our academics are enhanced by the university’s nine schools, wide resources, and the leading scholars and scientists who teach in our classrooms. You won’t find your typical liberal arts here. We think of it as liberal arts in high definition—sharper, and more vibrant.

Emory College students come from across the globe and close to home, bringing a diversity of perspectives to our community. Add to that the energy and experience you’ll find in our hometown of Atlanta, and you’ll have what you need to make an impact on the world, whichever corner of it you choose to tackle first.

“Emory is one of the few research

universities where the faculty are deeply

and happily engaged in both research and

undergraduate education. It is difficult to

achieve a good balance between these two

aspects, and Emory’s faculty has been able

to find this balance successfully. Teaching

undergraduates, both inside and out of the

classroom, forces faculty members to step

out of our small and specific research

areas to look at the big picture. Often

this leads us to contemplate a

research problem from a different

angle not previously considered.”

Victor CorcesArts and Sciences Distinguished Professor, Emory College Department of Biology

My favorite professor is >> “Tara Doyle, a professor in the religion department. She truly cares about her students, and is extremely accessible. Her classes are challenging, but you are rewarded by how much you learn and your improvement in writing.” >>

>> “John Lysaker in philosophy. He is one of the most engaging guys I’ve ever been around and really made class a joy to go to. Also, he has an incredible beard.” >>

>> “Sarah McPhee, Jean Campbell, and Bonna Wescoat. These three women in the art history department have pushed me to grow as a student, writer, and adult, and to think more critically about what I am studying.” >>

>> “Thomas Lancaster. His political science classes are laid out in a way that I love— the assignments include everything from debates, book reviews, and movie critiques to empirical research papers and partner projects.” >>

Emory College is a liberal arts college at the heart of a major research university. The academics here are rigorous,

and our students like it that way. Classes are led by professors who are renowned scholars and scientists, and

academic discussion is fueled by the ideas of high achievers like you. Our students benefit from having the resources

of the university and Atlanta at close reach, enhancing their academics and life outside class and giving them easy

access to research and internship opportunities.

Discover Emory College

Be Inspired At Emory, our professors excel in their fields, but are not the type

who want to be tucked away in a lab or library. Our professors are

here because they want to teach undergraduates. You’ll benefit from

what they have to say in and out of class—their expertise will inspire

your interest and deepen your knowledge.

Be EnrichedLearning at Emory is enhanced by our student body—students

who are from 50 states and 110 countries, reflect many different

backgrounds, and bring with them diverse points of view. That

means the person sitting next to you won’t be just like you, a quality

we think makes living and learning here more interesting.

Our students benefit further from having the city of Atlanta at

their doorstep. When they’re looking for internships, research

opportunities, entertainment, or just the perfect sweet tea, they

have Atlanta’s sprawling neighborhoods and industries to tap into

and explore.

In Emory


At Emory, you’re encouraged to push your intellectual curiosity. Our rigorous liberal arts curriculum is deeper and

more vibrant because of the rich resources that support our university, allowing you to do more with what you’re

learning here. Instead of just reading Alice Walker’s work, you can examine her drafts in our special collections.

Instead of learning about scientists developing an AIDS vaccine, you can work in a lab with them.

And because liberal arts education examines a breadth and depth of knowledge and emphasizes writing well,

communicating ideas, and problem-solving skills, it trains you to be flexible with your thoughts and creative with

the way you approach problems. As a result, studying liberal arts prepares you for not just one, but many careers.

Set a Path of Study

Choose What Interests You At Emory College, you can choose from 71 majors, 57

minors, and 9 preprofessional opportunities. If you’re

interested in business or nursing, you can apply to Emory’s

Goizueta Business School or Nell Hodgson Woodruff

School of Nursing to earn a BBA or BSN after sophomore

year. And if you can’t decide on one major, you don’t have

to—48 percent of our students double major.

classroom instruction. Freshman Seminars blend interdisciplinary

subjects with topics that are relevant to business, society, and

culture. Here are a few of our recent seminars:n Biology: DNA and Forensicsn Philosophy: Philosophical Best Sellersn Sociology: Advertising—the Magic System

“My favorite class is 21st Century Medicine,

a freshman seminar in the biology

department. I loved this class because

we addressed the fun aspects of biology

in today’s world and new developments

occurring throughout the entire field.

My favorite professor is Dr. Nagueyalti

Warren from the African American studies

department because she presented the

information for her class in a vibrant

manner that enabled her students

to enjoy the class and willingly

participate.”

Live in Our Community

Located in a historic neighborhood a few miles

from downtown Atlanta, Emory is 638 acres. Our

tree-lined campus has a nature preserve at its

edge, and in its center features white marble

buildings topped with red tile roofs. Two-

thirds of our students live on campus, making

Emory close, connected, and active. Our new

energy-efficient freshman living complex

creates a close community for new students.

In addition to incorporating sustainable

building design and technologies, these

residence halls are sustainability-

themed with programming aimed

at encouraging students to adopt

sustainable habits and practices.

Celebrate, Emory Style What makes you a true Emory student? Getting involved in the

unique traditions and celebrations that bring our community

together.

Dooley’s Week

Our unofficial mascot is Dooley, a skeleton, who is known as

the immortal spirit of Emory. Each spring during Dooley’s Week,

we honor him with campuswide events including concerts

and parties. During that week, Dooley roams the halls playing

pranks and releasing students from class.

Songfest

This knockdown, drag-out contest among first-year residence

halls is held on the first Friday evening after classes begin.

Each hall learns a song and dance routine and performs before

a panel of judges, and the competition is fierce.

Wonderful Wednesday

Our entire community gathers on Wednesday afternoons in

the center of campus to celebrate and show school spirit.

Wonderful Wednesday began in 1967 and is still going strong.

My favorite spot on campus is >> “The Quad. In the midst of tests and papers and stress, I can go

and relax underneath a tree and people watch or read a book.” >> “My fraternity house.”

>> “The balcony of the 10th floor of Woodruff Library.”

“The soccer field.” >> “The area right outside of the

DUC and Cox Hall. Everyone is always bustling around

there, and it just has a great college vibe.” >>

Emory challenges its students to make an impact with what they learn here. Our strong foundation in the liberal

arts paired with targeted career guidance prepares students to do that and more.

Enrich the World

Prepared for Life At Emory, we know employers look for people with a strong

foundation in the liberal arts, as do medical, law, and business

schools. rather than selecting their candidates from narrow

preprofessional tracks, these organizations want liberal

arts students with their broad backgrounds and exceptional

abilities to reason and communicate across disciplines. Long

story short, Emory students are prepared and in demand

after graduation.

Individualized Career GuidanceThe Emory Career Center provides guidance and preparation for

all stages of a student’s college career, from choosing a major

to transitioning to life after college, whether toward graduate or

professional school, or employment.

n The Career Center provides mock interviews, resume

planning, job fairs, and graduate and professional school

fairs.n The PreHealth Mentoring Office provides four years of

“Special Olympics (or Special O! as we call it)

campus. This allows me to combine two of my

passions—swimming and community service—

in an environment that allows me to have an

awesome time. Special O! swimming always

helps me unwind after a long week, and the

swimmers we work with are the most positive

and exuberant group you can imagine. If

I walk in stressed about class or life in

general, one interaction with one of

these special swimmers immediately

puts a smile on my face.”

Affordability at EmoryAt Emory University, we think choosing a college should be

based on fit, not finances. That’s why we are committed to

meeting 100 percent of demonstrated financial need for all

accepted students. In fact, 60 percent of our undergraduates

receive financial aid, demonstrating our ongoing commitment

to making an Emory education affordable.

Need-Based Aid

A family’s entire financial portfolio, including income, assets, and

other earnings will be considered for eligibility to receive financial

aid. In addition to the FAFSA, Emory uses the CSS PrOFILE because

it provides more insight into a family’s financial circumstances.

The FAFSA is used to determine federal aid eligibility, and the CSS

PrOFILE determines institutional aid. Financial aid packages can

consist of grants, loans, work study, and scholarships. Emory is

dedicated to programs such as Emory Advantage and QuestBridge

to assist students with high financial need.

Merit Scholarships

Emory College, Oxford College, and Goizueta Business School

offer scholarships based on academic merit to incoming first-

year students as part of the Scholars Program. Scholarships

range from partial to full tuition. Candidates for Emory,

Oxford, and Goizueta Scholars nominate themselves on their

Come for a Visit You can visit Oxford College or Emory College, or both, even

on the same day. Take a campus tour, sit in on a class, swing

bulletin boards, talk to students and faculty, and see us

in action.

We offer daily campus tours and information sessions,

Monday through Friday and select Saturdays, all year long.

An Emory University education does more than fill

your mind with facts. With its emphasis on teaching

and innovative ways of learning, Oxford College of

Emory University allows you to put your learning

into action. Explore what inspires you—in and out of

the classroom—and set a path of study that f its your

interests and goals.

From a Little Acorn to a Mighty Oak

The seed that established Emory University is still here, on our original undergraduate campus in Oxford, Georgia, some 38 miles east of Atlanta. Our beautiful, tree-filled grounds epitomize the quintessential liberal arts campus, but Oxford College students enjoy a unique education as well. Small classes, personal interaction between faculty and students, and leadership opportunities rare for first- and second-year college students are the norm here. Choosing to begin your Emory education at Oxford means you’ll be able to leap into learning, into doing, into leading as soon as you step on campus.

“During office hours, I have the chance to meet

with my students one on one. This is when I’m

able to have deeper discussions about reading

assignments, assist a student in formulating an

idea for a paper, and provide ideas for improv-

ing a written assignment. I love the chance to

know my students at this important time in

their lives. A lot happens in a person’s devel-

opment from 18 to 21, and I have enjoyed

witnessing the growth of my students

intellectually and socially.”

You’ll f ind these values evident at Oxford:

Susan Ashmore Associate Professor of History

Commitment to excellence in teaching

Emphasis on leadership and teamwork

Value for life lived in community Innovative liberal arts curriculum


A Distinctive Place Emory College was founded in 1836 at the present-day site of Oxford College.

In 1915 Emory moved to Atlanta, became a university, and now, more than 175 years later, Oxford students benefit

from our rapid growth into one of the nation’s leading universities. We’re part of this large research university

renowned for its stellar faculty, multiple majors, and many ways to pursue your interests. One of two undergraduate

choices for Emory freshmen, Oxford students enjoy the close attention of outstanding faculty committed to

innovative teaching of the liberal arts as well as warm relationships with fellow students. Oxford students spend

their first two years as undergraduates in our liberal arts–intensive environment and then finish their education on

the Atlanta campus, where they obtain a bachelor’s degree in the liberal arts, business, or nursing.

Discover Oxford College

Out of Many, One Spectacular Student Body Although the smallest of Emory’s nine schools, Oxford is its most

diverse. Take a look at the number of students from different

backgrounds who attend Oxford, and you’ll see that we don’t just talk

about diversity, we live it. Collectively, Oxford students are bright,

intellectually curious, and motivated—working cooperatively and not

competitively with one another in order to succeed and thrive.

e m o r y u n i v e r s i t y4

Hands-on Learning Experiences Through inquiry-guided and theory practice/service

learning, Oxford faculty move away from the traditional classroom lecture to engage in more interactive types of

teaching. These courses give students the fundamental concepts and principles of the subject they’re studying but

then move into the realm of real-world discovery through research or working in community settings. As a result,

the overwhelming majority of Oxford students—some 92 percent—say they are happy with their interactions with

faculty and find their professors readily available outside of class.

Set a Path of Study

Theory Practice/Service Learning Oxford offers an average of 21 TPSL classes a year in which

students are able to deepen their understanding of a subject by

applying knowledge outside of class. Some examples include:

n English 185: Expository Writing—freshmen work with middle-

school students to create memoirsn Classics 202: The romans—students interview local US

What’s Your INQ? In inquiry-guided learning, students are trained to examine and

then practice the methods of the discipline they are studying.

INQ courses are meant to stimulate intellectual curiosity and

promote intellectual rigor and independence.


“I teach an INQ course in literary criticism.

INQ is perfectly aligned with my teaching

style, but is not always easy to do. It is

a challenge because I have to give up

control, to back away and let students

discover instead of telling them exactly

what I want them to learn.”

Start Your Major Here You can begin working on your major requirements while you’re at Oxford

or, like many students, wait until the end of sophomore year to declare

your major. In any event, you can choose from 71 majors, 57 minors, and

9 preprofessional opportunities. Emory University offers a dual degree in

engineering with Georgia Tech, and rising juniors interested in business or

nursing can apply to those schools to earn a BBA or BSN. You can expect small

classes from the very beginning of your time at Oxford, with an average of 20

students per class.


”I have received dozens of emails about new

research positions with professors in which

students will take part in a research project

either in the summer or the academic year.

There are also countless internship opportuni-

ties in Atlanta during the summer months.

Right now, I am applying to an internship

that works with abused and neglected

children during the summer.”

Grace O’DuffySophomoreWaterford, Ireland Intended Major: Linguistics

My favorite class >> “Music classes, because making music itself is really abstract and studying how music comes together and the history behind it is really concrete.” >>

>> “I really enjoyed my Foundations of Leadership class because I could apply the knowledge gained to my life.” >>

>> “My Intro to Politics class with Dr. Shapiro. . . . I have really noticed the different ways I have looked at the world as a result of this class.”

>> “I can’t say that I have one particular favorite. They are all great, and although the subject matter varies, all the professors are equally enthusiastic and committed to their work, which is what makes them captivating and engaging.”


There are other opportunities outside the classroom through which to explore, engage, and learn. More than

90 percent of Emory University students participate in internships or research experiences as undergraduates.

Nearly half study abroad or use fall or spring break to engage in service.

Expand Your Ideas

Delve Deeper into Sciences or the Humanities The Oxford research Scholars Program offers students

the chance to work with faculty members on projects in

the humanities and the sciences, even as freshmen. This

unusual opportunity allows students who perform research

their sophomore year to compete with juniors and seniors in

applying for summer internships and, perhaps, for funding to

conduct their own original research.

Resume-Building Opportunities For work experience, Oxford students can choose from the

more than 11,000 paid or unpaid internships available in the

US or abroad. Nearly two-thirds of Emory students participate

in an internship as undergraduates, and this experience can be

invaluable when seeking a job after college.

Explore the World around YouOxford students can study abroad for a few weeks, a semester,

a summer, or a year in one of the 100 programs Emory

University offers. Students can choose programs based on

their interest in a particular language, place, or academic

experience while confidently navigating life in another country.

Science-based study abroad courses allow students on a

preprofessional track to keep up with course requirements

while taking part in an invaluable undergraduate experience.

Global ConnectionsThis program allows Oxford students to meaningfully connect

their personal convictions concerning issues of justice, peace,

poverty, human rights, and the environment with travel to

another country or region and have meaningful dialogue while

there. Students have traveled to Turkey, Vietnam, and Poland

as well as regions in the US including New York City, Montana

and those communities significant in the American civil rights

movement.

Put Something Extra into Your Education There are extracurricular activities for

every interest at Oxford. Choose from our more than 60 different campus organizations or participate in intramural

or varsity sports. Our men’s tennis team is a three-time national champion and our women’s tennis team a one-time

national champion. Men’s basketball and women’s soccer are also varsity sports at Oxford. When students move on

to the Atlanta campus, there are some 18 NCAA Division III varsity-level sports from which to choose.

Pursue Your Interests

Developing and Strengthening Leaders There are no leaders-in-waiting at Oxford. Students step up

and take charge of organizations as early as freshman year.

Oxford students have been leaders in their high schools and

communities and are the sort of people who start clubs and

take the initiative. It makes for an interesting environment,

one in which people have much to say and the enthusiasm to

get a lot done. Oxford students have several ways to learn and

practice leadership.

Leadership Oxford

Leadership Oxford prepares student leaders for their

duties in campus organizations. Fifty potential student

leaders spend five days at training sessions on campus

and then head out for a high-adventure weekend that

tests their physical endurance and leadership skills. This

program was in such high demand that the college created

an additional opportunity for sophomores, called ExCEL.

The proof in the pudding? Sixty-one percent of Oxford

students hold some type of leadership position here.

Bonner Leaders

Bonner Leaders are part of a national program through

which college students perform service in the community.

Selected prior to freshman year, Bonner Leaders are

eligible for stipends for school-year, summer, and

postgraduate employment. Students apply for the program

after admission.

Grounded in Service Oxford’s curriculum and extracurricular activities serve to

develop the values that characterize a well-rounded person and

one who’s ready to embrace the responsibilities of citizenship.

Oxford students performed more than 16,000 hours of service

in 2012–2013. An embrace of service across its entire student

body—and most notably Oxford—led Emory to be awarded the

Presidential Award for General Community Service in 2008,

the federal government’s highest recognition for service in

higher education, and to be named to the President’s Higher

Education Community Service Honor roll, with Distinction, in

2010 and 2013.

These programs and more are why Oxford continuees tend to

stand out as leaders in student organizations when they arrive

on the Atlanta campus.


“I really grew as a person by serving as the

Volunteer Oxford coordinator. Not only did it

enable me to make various connections with

faculty and staff within the Oxford community,

but it strengthened my relationship with

fellow students as well. Furthermore, the

position enabled me to gain a sense of

confidence through talking to community

partners and organizing trips and projects,

which I then applied to the classroom and

other areas on campus.”

Chill at Lil’sLil’s is the nickname students have given

the dining hall at Oxford. It’s a hub for food

and social interaction for the entire campus.

Everyone eats here—students, faculty, staff,

and even the dean. Come in for a full meal

or just to graze and catch up. You can sip

organic coffee at the Student Center Coffee

Bar or grab something to go at Grill 155,

also open late nights. Lil’s is located next

door to the library and a quick walk from

residence halls and classroom build-

ings—easy to roll out of bed, grab

a bite to eat, and get to class in

plenty of time.

The South has a well-deserved reputation for graciousness and

friendliness. You’ll find this at Oxford too. We challenge you to

walk across the Quad without someone shouting hello. Students

spend a lot of time together and get to know one another well.

Best of all, each residence hall is less than a five-minute walk to

classes, the library, and the dining hall.

Campus and Beyond

Sustainable Living Our beautiful, tree-lined campus isn’t the only thing that’s

green. Oxford’s commitment to sustainability, much like Emory

University as a whole, is grounded in action and how students

live on our campus. Elizer and Murdy halls, which hold 350

students, were the first new buildings on either Emory campus

to be awarded a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

(LEED) gold rating. There are bike- and car-sharing programs

on both campuses and, beginning in the fall, Oxford will have

an onsite organic farm that will provide academic and work

opportunities for students as well as food for our dining hall.

Our Local Community Oxford is located close to the picturesque town of Covington,

Georgia, whose charm has been known to attract a film crew or

two. Currently The Vampire Diaries films there. They might be

drawn by Covington’s cool small-town vibe and trendy mix of

traditional and new. For some off-campus culture and fun:

n grab a ticket for a Newton County Arts Series performancen enjoy a tasty ice-cream cone with your friends at Scoopsn take a nighttime kayak tour at Hard Labor Creek State Park,

built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s


AtlantaEven with all that’s available for you to do at Oxford and in the

surrounding community, Atlanta lies only a tantalizing 38 miles

away. A shuttle runs several times a day during the week, and

nearly triples the number of runs back and forth on weekends.

First-year students are allowed to park on campus, so if you’re

fortunate to have a car—or a friend with one—you can easily

make the 45-minute drive from Oxford to Atlanta.

Emory’s Atlanta campus is located in the beautiful, historic

community of Druid Hills, which is just a few miles from down-

town Atlanta and some of the city’s most appealing neighbor-

hoods—Buckhead, Virginia-Highland, and Little Five Points, to

name a few. Voted one of the country’s most “livable cities,”

Atlanta is headquarters to the fourth-largest concentration of

Fortune 500 companies in the US. These reasons and more

make the city a great place to complete your education.

Emory’s Hometown Is . . . n a great resource for research positions, internships, and

jobs after graduation.

n a city with one of the largest college student populations

in the country, home to more than 20 institutions of higher

education.

n a vibrant arts community, with diverse museums, sympho-

nies, and theaters.

n a city of neighborhoods, from the offbeat to the traditional,

each interesting in its own way.

n home to 37,600 Emory alumni, giving you a built-in network

while you’re in school and after graduation.


When Oxford students continue as juniors on the Atlanta campus, these “continuees” can take one of three

paths—Emory College for a BS or BA, Goizueta Business School to earn a BBA, or Nell Hodgson Woodruff

School of Nursing to earn a BSN. Continuing to the main campus for your last two years of college provides the

opportunity to pair the intimate, teaching-oriented education of Oxford with another kind of college experience—

that of a large and vibrant research university.

Enrich the World

Junior Year on the Atlanta Campus Most Oxford students are very familiar with the Atlanta campus

before arriving there as juniors. However, we also make

sure your academic transition is effortless, beginning those

preparations sophomore year. As juniors, Oxford continuees

participate in a special orientation and are connected with

student mentors on the Atlanta campus. The close relationships

students create at Oxford tend to follow them there.

After Graduation Emory students usually choose their major by the end of

sophomore year. The Emory Alumni Association career mentoring

program pairs Oxford sophomores and alumni with shared

academic interests, activities, or experiences. These mentoring

teams talk, email, or meet a least once a month, and attend

networking events hosted by the alumni association together.

Work or Graduate Study? Well before you arrive on the Atlanta campus, you can use the

resources of the Career Center to help you choose a major or

find an internship—and later a job—in a field that interests you.

You’ll find as supportive an environment there as you found at

Oxford, with career counselors who will guide you through the

process and ease your transition into life after Emory.

Preparing for a Career n The majority of Emory students participate in research or

internships. n More than 200 companies and organizations attend Emory’s

on-campus job fairs each year.n More than 100 workshops and programs are sponsored each

year by the Career Center.

Oxford Alumni Shine Brightly Oxford has a reputation for outstanding graduates. Oxford

alumni can be found in all walks of life—successful and engaged

in their communities just as they were as undergraduates. Their

commitment to their alma mater is shown in their support and

frequent return visits to campus, whether they left Oxford 5, 10,

or 50 years ago. They are eager to reach out to current students

and help in whatever ways they can.


“The transition is much smoother than I

imagined. Sure, there will naturally be some

culture shock, new faces, and directions that

need learning, but don’t forget that you are

going to the Atlanta campus with hundreds

of friendly faces waiting to show you around.

Both your class and the class above you are

there to help you. Overall, the students

who started at the Atlanta campus are very

welcoming as well. I believe the trick to

having a smooth transition is to realize

that the Oxford campus and the

Atlanta campus are very different,

but both are amazing.”

Come for a Visit Visiting both Oxford College and Emory’s Atlanta campus in

one day is a great idea. You can arrange a tour of Emory in the

morning, then drive to see Oxford in the afternoon—or the

reverse. The two campuses are only 45 minutes apart, and

the Emory experience would not be complete without seeing

both. Tours at Oxford are given most weekdays throughout the

year, and we ask that you sign up online. Please give at least a

week’s notice to schedule your tour at www.oxford.emory.edu/admission/visiting.

Affordability at OxfordDon’t let concerns about financing your education stand in the

way of applying. Although many people consider the cost of a

private college education out of reach, that’s seldom true. More

than 60 percent of Emory undergraduate students receive some

type of financial assistance, with 41 percent receiving some

form of need-based aid. We have many available financial aid

options that can make Oxford College, and later Emory College

or the business and nursing schools, affordable. These include

merit scholarships, grants, work study, and loans.

Need-Based Aid A family’s entire financial portfolio, including

income, assets, and other earnings will be considered for

eligibility to receive financial aid. In addition to the FAFSA,

Emory uses the CSS PrOFILE because it provides more insight

into a family’s financial circumstances. The FAFSA is used to

determine federal aid eligibility and the CSS PrOFILE determines

institutional aid. Financial aid packages can consist of grants,

loans, work study, and scholarships. Emory is dedicated to

programs such as Emory Advantage and QuestBridge to assist

students with high financial need.

Merit Scholarships Oxford College, Emory College, and

Goizueta Business School offer scholarships based on

academic merit to incoming first-year students as part of

the Scholars Program. Scholarships range from partial to full

tuition. Candidates for Emory, Oxford, and Goizueta Scholars

nominate themselves on their application, are required

to submit an additional essay, and must complete their

application by November 15.
