Emory University is a private research institution founded in 1836, operating across two campuses in Atlanta and Oxford, Georgia. The university offers more than 140 majors and minors through rigorous academic programs spanning liberal arts and professional schools. It serves over 16,000 students and has been recognized for ten consecutive years as a top producer of Fulbright recipients, with 189 total awardees.
The institution operates in the higher education and healthcare sectors. Emory's culture has been noted for quality of life, ranking first nationally in the Princeton Review's 2025 assessment, and third for best college dorms. Starting in fall 2026, the Emory Advantage Plus program will offer tuition-free undergraduate education for students from families earning $200,000 or less.
Emory's physical infrastructure supports its academic and research missions across its two Georgia campuses. The university's data center and IT operations underpin this enterprise, managing systems for academic computing, research data, healthcare information, and administrative functions for a large student body and faculty.
