university profile

Our quest for positive transformation in the world occurs through the inspired work of Emory’s schools and colleges and their partners. Below are two of Emory agents of change, the Robert W. Woodruff Library and The Carter Center of Emory University.

About Emory

committed to courageous leadership in teaching, research, scholarship, health care, and social action, Emory University is recognized as one of the world’s great institutions of higher learning. It combines nine undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools with the largest health care system and sponsored research base of any university in Georgia.

Emory’s campus in the suburban Atlanta neighborhood of Druid Hills is home to the undergraduate Emory College of Arts and Sciences, as well as undergraduate programs in business and nursing. Also here are graduate and professional programs in law, business, nursing, theology, medicine, public health, and graduate studies, as well as Emory University Hospital and associated medical clinics and institutes. And for more than 60 years, Emory Continuing Education has served as the university’s noncredit division, with more than 10,000 student enrollments each year from the community and beyond.

Twenty percent of Emory undergraduates choose to begin their education at Oxford College, Emory’s historic 1836 campus, 38 miles east of Atlanta. Oxford offers these students a small-campus, liberal-arts-intensive education for the first two years of the Emory undergraduate degree.

Originally planned by Beaux-Arts architect Henry Hornbostel, the Druid Hills campus features historic buildings clad in pink and gray Georgia marble, as well as contemporary LEED-certified residence and academic halls. Emory’s campus is also home to a public park and more than 130 acres of protected forest.

Today Emory has its base in Atlanta, the business hub of the Southeast and an exciting global city—home to ten Fortune 500 companies (third-highest in the nation, tied with Dallas) and organizations such as The Carter Center, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Cancer Society, and CARE. The city connects Emory to opportunities for wider networking, jobs, research, service, and learning. A population of more than five million makes the metro area rich with a mix of diverse cultures, entertainment, and the arts.

The university reaches beyond Atlanta with programs for migrant farmworkers in rural Georgia, AIDS education in sub-Saharan Africa, smoking-prevention efforts in China, and Journeys of Reconciliation to international sites of conflict.

Our faculty—passionate about their teaching and research—draw students deeply into the discovery process, encouraging them to ask difficult questions and seek creative solutions for the needs of our community and world. Emory students go on to choice graduate and professional schools and find meaningful jobs.

The university has more than 7,000 undergraduates.

Every state and more than 100 countries are represented in the student body. Emory is numbered among the top 20 national universities by US News & World Report and is ranked 79th among the top 200 universities by the Times

Students Emory benefits from a student body that is the most ethnically and religiously diverse of any of the top-20 national research universities, with 14,236 students from 50 states and 121 countries. There are 7,656 undergraduate students and 6,580 graduate and professional students. Emory houses a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the oldest and most prestigious academic honor society. Emory students have received Rhodes, Marshall, Fulbright, Goldwater, Rotary, Rockefeller, Mellon, and USA Today scholarships as well as National Science Foundation Fellowships. Emory was ranked among the top ten academic institutions in the country that provide the best work environments for life science postdoctoral research professionals by the Scientist.

Faculty and Staff Emory is the largest private employer in metro Atlanta with 27,937 employees, including approximately 4,053 faculty.

Two of Emory’s key strategic goals focus on faculty and staff: enhancing a diverse and distinguished faculty and becoming the workplace of choice for all staff.

excellence Our Bragging Points Rankings Emory University is one of the top-20 national universities in the US News & World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges.”

Additionally, Emory is 15th in the country for best values among private universities in the 2012–2013 Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine. Goizueta Business School’s full-time MBA program ranks 22nd worldwide, and the BBA program ranks seventh in the ranking of undergraduate business programs compiled

by Bloomberg Business Week. Those programs are ranked 18th and 13th by US News & World Report. US News & World Report ranks the Rollins School of Public Health sixth, the School of Medicine 22nd among research-oriented medical schools, the School of Law 23rd, and the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing 21st.

Alumni The Emory Alumni Association connects alumni to the university and to each other, fosters traditions, serves the diverse needs and interests of our current and future alumni, and creates opportunities for investment in Emory’s commitment to excellence.

The Emory Alumni Association represents more than 118,000 alumni living in all 50 states and more than 150 nations. Emory alumni include Pulitzer Prize winners, Rhodes Scholars, bishops of the United Methodist Church and other denominational clergy, and leaders at every level of business, education, nonprofit, medicine, and a wide variety of other disciplines.

Libraries Holdings of the Emory Libraries at Emory University total approximately 3.7 million volumes and thousands of electronic information resources, including more than 56,000 e-journal titles. The Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library (MARBL) offers rich collections in areas such as the Irish literary revival; 20th-century American, British, and Irish poetry; and African American literature, history, and culture. MARBL also is strong in research collections devoted to the social and cultural history of the American South, with a particular emphasis on Georgia and Atlanta.

Athletics Emory fields 18 varsity sports under the auspices of NCAA Division III, whose members award no athletic scholarships or preferential treatment for student-athletes. Emory has one of the top all-around athletic programs in the NCAA Division III, based on cumulative results in the NACDA Directors’ Cup standings since fall 2000, and has had the second-most studentathletes receive NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships of any other NCAA school in the past decade.

Arts Emory’s arts programs bring together more than 200,000 students, faculty, guest artists, and visitors every year in a spirit of collaboration, exploration, and performance. With more than 300 arts events each year (most of them free), students and visitors have the opportunity to discover emerging talent on the college campus, and to get up close to world-renowned musicians, writers, filmmakers, and performers. Major exhibition and presentation spaces include the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts, the Michael C. Carlos Museum, and the Mary Gray Munroe Theater in Dobbs University Center. Arts.emory.edu.

Global Perspective Home to more than 3,500 international students and scholars, Emory sends some 40 percent of its undergraduates to study abroad as part of intensive learning experiences that include language and fieldwork in developing countries, research in high-tech science labs around the world, and exposure to global business through international opportunities with some of the world’s best business schools. Students and faculty in Emory’s graduate school and professional schools in the fields of public health, nursing, medicine, theology, law, and business are also engaged in international research and teaching.

Financial Profile Undergraduate tuition, room and board, and fees are $59,908.

About 80 percent of all students receive some financial aid, and Emory recently created a nationally recognized program to help lower- and middle-income families pay for college. This program, Emory Advantage, will help reduce debt incurred by students and families with incomes and assets less than $100,000 per year.

Emory’s operating budget is $4 billion, and the value of its endowment and trust funds was $5.4 billion as of August 31, 2012. Emory received $520.3 million in sponsored research in 2012, more than any university in Georgia.

Woodruff Health Sciences Center Emory University’s Robert W. Woodruff Health Sciences Center focuses on missions of teaching, research, health care, and public service. Named for the legendary leader of The Coca-Cola Company, the center includes Emory University School of Medicine, Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, Rollins School of Public Health, Winship Cancer Institute, Yerkes National Primate Research Center, and Emory Healthcare, the most comprehensive health system in Georgia. With $3.3 billion in annual operating expenses, the center has an estimated annual economic impact of $6.4 billion on the metro-Atlanta area.

giving To Emory nyone who wants to make a difference in the world will find profound , creative ways to do so at emory .

Distinctive among America’s elite research universities for a culture of collaboration and service, Emory works with partners in Atlanta and around the world to educate future leaders, share knowledge, improve health, push the boundaries of science and technology, and harness the transformative power of the arts. Private philanthropy fuels these efforts.

Since 1915, private gifts have been at the core of Emory’s excellence and its significant growth in size, reputation, and reach. Without donor support, many student scholarships, academic programs, and trailblazing discoveries couldn’t exist. Gifts from alumni, parents, grateful patients, foundations, corporations, Emory faculty and staff, and many other friends help Emory create positive change and bring even greater intellectual resources to bear on the world’s most daunting challenges. During Campaign Emory, a seven-year fund-raising effort that ended in December 2012, people who believe in Emory gave $1.69 to advance its mission.

Anyone can be an Emory philanthropist.

The challenge is to find where your own aspirations and Emory’s work intersect. What do you care about most? How do you want to change the world for the better? Emory invites you to explore the opportunities to invest in the university’s life-changing endeavors.

emory Landmarks and Icons “The University’s Front Door” The Haygood-Hopkins Memorial Gateway was completed in 1937 and is composed of two marble pillars connected by an ornate wrought-iron arch. At the center of the span is a lantern, which has become a symbol of the university and which appears on the Laney Graduate School’s gonfalon, or ceremonial banner.

As you face the gateway, the pillar on the left is dedicated to Atticus Greene Haygood, who graduated from Emory College in 1859. Known as a preacher and a philanthropist, Haygood served as president of Emory from 1875 to 1884. The opposite pillar is dedicated to Isaac Stiles Hopkins, also an 1859 graduate of Emory College. A minister as well as a teacher, Hopkins was president of Emory from 1884 to 1888. The gateway was a gift of Linton B. Robeson, a member of the Class of 1886, whose undergraduate years spanned the tenures of both Haygood and Hopkins.

The Quadrangle The Quadrangle is the heart of Emory, where commencement is held each May. The rolling hills of Georgia’s piedmont reminded Emory’s original architect, Henry Hornbostel, of northern Italy, so the Quadrangle buildings were constructed in the Italian Renaissance style out of pink and gray Georgia marble.

R. Howard Dobbs University Center A central gathering place commonly known as “the DUC,” the Dobbs University Center houses a cafeteria, banking service, the University Post Office, Mary Gray Munroe Theater, Harland Cinema, a game room, the Office of Campus Life, and offices for many student organizations.

Cox Hall Named for Harvey W. Cox, the university’s longest-serving president, the Cox Hall food court is one of the primary dining spots on campus, and you often will find medical students in scrubs eating here between rounds at Emory University Hospital next door. Cox’s second floor houses an ultramodern computer lab whose plush design puts all harshly lit, utilitarian computer labs to shame.

The Michael C. Carlos Museum and Carlos Hall The main museum building was designed by renowned architect Michael Graves, following his renovation of Henry Hornbostel’s 1916 law school building, now Carlos Hall. The main museum building showcases a distinguished collection of ancient art and archaeological objects from Egypt and Nubia, the Near East, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Greece and Rome, including works on paper from the Renaissance to the present. Visitors can also enjoy special exhibitions from some of the world’s great museums.

Donna & Marvin Schwartz Center for Performing Arts The Schwartz Center is the heart of the arts community on Emory’s campus. Home to the renowned 800-seat Emerson Concert Hall, as well as a dance studio, theater lab, classrooms, and rehearsal spaces, the Schwartz Center is a vital home for teaching, learning, performance, and discovery. arts.emory.edu/schwartz Lullwater House and Park Built in the 1920s by Walter T. Candler, son of Emory benefactor and Coca-Cola founder Asa G. Candler, Lullwater House was constructed in the English Tudor style. The house, which has served as the home of Emory University’s presidents since 1963, is the centerpiece of Lullwater, a 185-acre park used by Emory community members for relaxation, exercise, and informal events. The entrance to Lullwater is located on Clifton Road next to the Woodruff Residential Center. Motorized vehicles are not permitted in Lullwater.

Dooley Dooley, the “Spirit of Emory,” is well-known on campus for his grand entrances with entourage at major student events each year. The identities of the students who have portrayed Dooley through the years are perhaps Emory’s best-kept secrets.

Nance Rollins Building, the newest Rollins School of Public Health building; the HaygoodHopkins Memorial Gateway, the “front door” to Emory; School of Law graduates celebrate at Emory’s commencement ceremony on the Quad in 2012; and a three-dimensional mandala of Guhyasamaja from Gyuto Monastery in the Tibetan exile community of Dharamsala, India, from the Michael C. Carlos Museum.

sustainability Our Commitment to a Green Future

s the largest private employer in atlanta, Emory resembles a small town. As part of a commitment to positive transformation in the world, Emory has identified sustainability as one of the university’s top priorities.

This means providing innovative programs that enhance the health and work-life balance for our employees and their families.

It means partnering with our neighbors and local governments to develop vibrant commercial centers near campus linked by green space and pedestrian-friendly streetscapes.

It also means acting as stewards for the environment.
