What Emory Says About...
GeneralEmory College combines the personal concern of a small, liberal arts college with the rich diversity of a major, urban university. The oldest and largest division of Emory University, Emory College has provided instruction in the arts and sciences to talented, highly motivated students for more than 165 years. Today its faculty of nearly five hundred offers more than twelve hundred courses to approximately five thousand students drawn from every section of the United States and many foreign countries. The college offers students a wide range of off-campus programs, including the opportunity to participate in internship programs and to study abroad at institutions that include St. Andrews University in Scotland, the Pushkin Institute in Moscow, and Oxford University in England. In addition, a number of other study abroad programs are offered during the summer.Emory College’s resources are enriched by those of Emory University, a research university comprising Oxford College, a two-year college located in Oxford, Georgia; the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences; and the schools of business, law, medicine (including the allied health programs), nursing, public health, and theology. Emory University is a community of scholars where undergraduates, graduate and professional students, faculty, and staff benefit from the presence of each other as well as from the presence on or near campus of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, The Carter Center of Emory University and the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum, Yerkes National Primate Research Center, and the national headquarters of both the American Cancer Society and the American Academy of Religion. To encourage full participation in its programs, Emory College requires that first-year students live on campus and urges other students to live on or near campus. The college’s commitment to campus residence reflects its conviction that largeness of mind and spirit may be learned in dormitories and concert halls, on stages and playing fiends, as well as in classrooms, laboratories, and libraries. Students are, therefore, encouraged to participate in cocurricular activities that range from lectures, colloquia, and symposia, to concerts, exhibits, and plays, to intercollegiate and intramural sports, to scores of social clubs, civic organizations, and religious groups.For more than half a century, academic integrity has been maintained at Emory through the student-initiated and student-regulated Honor Code. The responsibility for maintaining a standard of unimpeachable honor in all academic work falls upon every individual who is a part of Emory University. Every student who chooses to attend Emory College agrees, as a condition of attendance, to abide by all provisions of the Honor Code as long as he or she remains a student in the college. By continued attendance in Emory College, students reaffirm their pledge to adhere to and uphold the provision of the Honor Code.
