Emory attracts graduate students who want to explore individual vision within a collegial community, and who share a desire to use their discoveries to advance the common good.

The university, with seven graduate and professional schools, encourages creative collaboration across departments and disciplines:
- The Graduate School and Emory's professional schools in business, law, medicine, nursing, public health and theology, all offer joint degree programs.
- Students have the opportunity to propose individually designed studies.
- The Creativity & Arts Initiative brings colleagues together across the arts and sciences.
- The Great Scholars, Great Work initiative recognizes distinguished faculty research underway in areas including human nature and culture, health and disease, and history and community.
Emory's centers for excellence and other special initiatives, along with its many working relationships with peer institutions and organizations, enhance the learning and professional opportunities for advanced degree students. Here's a sampling of the diversity:
