About Emory

Emory University, recognized internationally for its outstanding liberal arts colleges, graduate and professional schools as well as one of the Southeast's leading health care systems, is located on a beautiful, leafy campus in Atlanta, Georgia's historic Druid Hills suburb.

Emory maintains an uncommon balance for an institution of its standing: our scholars and experts generate more than $500 million in research funding annually, while also maintaining a traditional emphasis on teaching.

The university is enriched by the legacy and energy of Atlanta, and by collaboration among its schools, centers and partners.

Studying socially conscious leadership

Emory students pursue community involvement through volunteer service, coursework and internships. The university is committed to developing graduates who will become the next generation of leaders, grounded in a strong moral and ethical foundation. We help students identify ways to connect and sequence service activities, coursework and research experiences, which helps them pursue related career choices.

Emory College of Arts and Sciences offers a Community Building and Social Change minor. And community-focused courses are offered across many departments and academic disciplines, providing students with both hands-on learning experiences and theoretical expertise necessary to learn effective community benefiting practices. | Admission | Activities

Student nurses provide care on winter break

Whether they are caring for orphaned children in Haiti, assisting with maternity care in the Dominican Republic, or caring for homeless patients in Jamaica, Emory nursing students are making a difference in people’s lives. Student nurses are spending their winter break caring for underserved communities in the Caribbean.

Gifts to the Lillian Carter Center for Global Health & Social Responsibility and the Service Learning Program fund at the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing support service-learning initiatives like these. They give student nurses invaluable experience and provide critical health services to those who otherwise might not receive care. | Campaign Emory
