TWO PLACES TO START Students can apply to and begin their four years at Emory University at either Emory College or Oxford College.
EMORY COLLEGE, on the university’s Atlanta campus, is a rigorous liberal arts experience in a research university setting. Professors are the leading scholars in their fields, and learning is enriched by research, internships, and a commu- nity of bright, involved students.
OXFORD COLLEGE, on Emory’s original site in Oxford, Georgia, 38 miles from Atlanta, is a rigorous liberal arts experience on a close-knit campus of first- and second-year students. Professors excel at the art of teaching and reaching students, and undergraduates are known for their leadership. All Oxford students spend their junior and senior years in Atlanta.
FOUR UNDERGRADUATE COLLEGES Students spend their first and second year at either Emory College or Oxford College, and then they decide to continue at EMORY COLLEGE FOR A BS OR BA, apply to EMORY’S GOIZUETA BUSINESS SCHOOL FOR A BBA, or continue to our SCHOOL OF NURSING TO EARN A BSN.

With 18 varsity sports at Emory College and 9 at Oxford College, Emory Eagle student-athletes soar. Or they excel on the ground in club or intramural sports.
With 445 undergraduate clubs and organizations between the two campuses, including the Student Government Association, the Student Programming Council, and Volunteer Emory/Oxford, students can practice leadership as soon as they arrive on campus.
