Athletics for All
Emory's well-rounded culture is reflected in the distinction of being one of only a handful of schools in the nation to rank in the top in both the Directors' Cup of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics for best all-around athletics program, and the U.S. News & World Report rankings of best national universities.
Such recognitions support what Emory students already appreciate: the university supports a well-rounded college experience, where it's expected for athletes to succeed in academics, and scholars to succeed in sports.
