Emory’s Goizueta Business School tied for 7th in Poets and Quants’ recent ranking of the Top 100 Undergraduate Business Programs in the nation. This ranking is based on analysis of program rankings by Bloomberg Businessweek and U.S. News & World Report in combination with total university rankings by the latter.

Emory is distinctive as a national research university with a strong and visible liberal arts core that includes a liberal arts presence in every school. All undergraduate programs at Emory begin with two years of study in a vibrant liberal arts curriculum to develop both broad knowledge and the capacity for reflective critical thinking. Students enter the BBA program as juniors.

At Emory, we maintain the time-tested value of residential liberal arts education. And we do so at two colleges in the context of a major research university.

Our Campus Life team works to fulfill Emory's vision by ensuring the residential experience engages and inspires students throughout their time here. We bring first-year students together in residence halls at the center of campus, and all first- and second-year students live on campus, fostering a sense of community and involvement. Students enjoy hundreds of interest groups on campus as well as easy access to Atlanta's resources.
