Study Abroad
Nearly two in five undergraduates complete an international experience, placing Emory in the top 15 among U.S. research universities in 2006, according to the National Survey of Student Engagement.
Students may choose to study abroad for a summer, a semester or a year, and typically do so through one of numerous programs Emory offers through the Center for International Programs Abroad.
Emory-sponsored programs at schools abroad are integrated with the curriculum on campus. The summer programs continue a tradition through which Emory faculty teach courses in international locations. Students may also pursue research and service opportunities abroad.
Here's a sampling of the range of programs available:
• Archaeological studies in Israel
• Ecology and evolutionary biology in Australia
• Environmental field studies in Namibia and Botswana
• European politics in France
• Interdisciplinary internships in South Africa
• Sociology / comparative health care systems in England
• Tibetan mind/body sciences in India
Emory conducts exchange programs with several schools abroad. These notably include Emory's sister institution, the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, and the related Robert T. (Bobby) Jones Jr. Scholarship and Fellowship programs.
The university also cultivates international awareness on campus. The community includes more than 2,500 students and scholars from more than 120 foreign countries.
Emory offers an international living experience in Atlanta through the Center for International Living. CIL residents live in a distinct set of apartments at the Clairmont Campus, directed by an Emory faculty member in residence. Non-resident membership is open to the Emory and local communities.
