You Have Two Choices at Emory

At Emory we know that one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why two undergraduate liberal arts options await you here. You can choose to apply to Emory College of Arts and Sciences, the four-year undergraduate division of Emory University, or you can apply to Oxford College, and spend freshman and sophomore years at Emory‘s original campus thirty-eight miles east of Atlanta.  Oxford students continue as juniors on the Emory campus in Atlanta. We encourage you to apply to both campuses—it’s easy. Click here to find out more about Emory College and Oxford College.

We Make it Easy to Apply

You can apply to Emory College, Oxford College, or both.

Common Application Tips and Tricks 

• Look for Emory University on the Common Application.
When you’re looking for us on the Common Application website, look for Emory University. Emory College and Oxford College are listed under Emory University, not separately under each school’s name. 

• Are you applying to both Emory College and Oxford College? 
If you are, you only need to apply once, send materials like the transcript and recommendations once, and pay the application fee once. For more information, click here.

• Are you applying Early Decision?
Emory University has two colleges, Emory College and Oxford College, and you can apply Early Decision to both. If you apply to Emory College for Early Decision I and you are not accepted, you may apply to Oxford College for Early Decision II, and vice versa. For more information, click here.

You may apply Early Decision I or Early Decision II to Oxford College and also apply Regular Decision to Emory College, and vice versa. If you are accepted Early Decision I or Early Decision II, you must withdraw your Regular Decision application, as you would with any other college. For more information, click here. 

• Do you have questions about the Common Application Future Plans section?
This section of the Common Application is sometimes confusing for people applying to both Emory College and Oxford College. The Common Application doesn’t let you distinguish application plans between Emory University divisions. So if you’re applying to both Emory College and Oxford College and also applying Early Decision to one of them, just check the Early Decision box on the Common Application website. This will prompt the Early Decision Agreement. On the Emory University Supplement you will have the chance to indicate your specific application plans for each college.  

• Are you applying for the Scholars Program?
If so, your Scholars application is due by November 15, but you don’t have to apply Early Decision. You can apply using any plan you want—Early Decision I, Early Decision II, or Regular Decision. For more information, click here.
