    Emory University Summary

    Increase your salary, get your degree in your spare time - FREE Application to University of Phoenix for a limited time

    Emory University is a private university in the city of Atlanta, Georgia. Emory was founded in 1836 and is named after John Emory, a popular bishop of the Georgia Methodist Conference. Approximately half of its students are enrolled in the undergraduate program and the other half are enrolled in one of Emory University’s seven graduate programs. Its nine academic divisions include: In addition to its nine schools, the university encompasses The Carter Center, Yerkes National Primate Research Center and Emory Healthcare, Georgia’s largest and most comprehensive health care system. Wagner came to Emory in the autumn of 2003, after serving as provost and interim president of Case Western Reserve University. In doing so, they planted the seed that became Emory College — and later Emory University. On December 10, 1836, the Georgia General Assembly granted the Georgia Methodist Conference a charter to establish a college to be named for John Emory, a popular bishop who had presided at the 1834 conference but was killed in 1835 from a carriage accident. By 1838, Emory College began admitting students. For the duration of the nineteenth century, Emory College remained a small institution which offered students both a classical curriculum and professional training. One of Emory College’s most famous alumni from this early period was Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar (II), a native Georgian who graduated from Emory College in 1845. In the autumn of 1866, Emory College reopened its doors with a limited endowment and just 120 students. Candler, a former Emory College president, persuaded the Methodist Episcopal Church, South to make Emory the nucleus of a new university. In light of these developments, Emory College was rechartered by DeKalb County on January 25, 1915, as Emory University, which explains both the dates 1836 and 1915 sometimes featured on the school’s seal. Henry Hornbostel was chosen to design many of the buildings on Emory University’s new campus. Emory University first opened its theology and law schools on the new campus quadrangle. Emory University later added graduate, business, medical, public health, nursing, and dental schools. Doctoral studies at Emory University were established in 1946, and the school has continued to strengthen its graduate and professional schools since. In 1949, Alben Barkley returned to Emory to receive an honorary LLD degree and give the commencement address, the first Emory event to be televised. Formerly an all-male school, in 1953 Emory University opened its doors to women. In 1962, in the midst of the American Civil Rights Movement, Emory University embraced the initiative to end racial restrictions when it asked the courts to declare portions of the Georgia statutes unconstitutional. The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled in Emory’s favor and Emory became officially racially integrated. Each year, Carter has a town hall meeting at the university, in which he gives a lecture and answers questions from Emory students and members of the Atlanta community. Goizueta Business School, the Whitehead Biomedical Research Building, the Mathematics and Science Center, the Donna and Marvin Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts, a recent expansion to the business school that was completed in 2005, as well as the continuous expansion of Emory University Hospital. Emory University celebrated its sesquicentennial anniversary in 1986, when it featured a student body of about 8,500 undergraduate and graduate students. In 2004, Emory University’s endowment was ranked 8th in the nation at an estimated $4.4 billion. Emory University recently completed a strategic planning process in 2005 led by Emory President James W. The anticipated $3 billion plan will strengthen Emory University’s programs in specific areas focused on key themes centered on major world issues. Woodruff Foundation announced that it would give Emory $261.5 million over four years to enhance the Emory Clinic, establish a Presidential Fund to provide seed money for the strategic plan, and to renovate the Woodruff Health Sciences Administration Building. Emory College is the undergraduate institution of Emory University located in Atlanta, Georgia with 66 majors, 53 minors, 17 joint concentrations, and 10 interdepartmental programs leading to a bachelor’s degree. Oxford College of Emory University, located in Oxford, Georgia enrolls about 600 students. Students at Oxford traditionally complete their first two years of their degree at Oxford and then continue with Emory College (located on the Atlanta campus) to complete their bachelor’s degree. The Emory Graduate School of Arts and Sciences has degree programs in 26 divisions in which students receive either master’s or doctoral degrees. The Emory Law School consistently ranks as one of the top law schools in the nation. The Emory School of Medicine enrolls approximately 425 medical students, 1,000 residents and fellows, and 350 allied health students. In January 2007, the University announced its newest aid program, Emory Advantage. Emory Advantage seeks to help undergraduate dependent students from families with assessed annual incomes $100,000 or less who demonstrate a need for financial aid. After a student has accrued a total of $15,000 in need-based loans, Emory will provide grants to cover any remaining need-based funding incurred through degree completion. Traditions at Emory include Dooley, the “Spirit of Emory” and the unofficial mascot of the university. Each year in the spring, during Dooley’s Week, Dooley roams Emory’s campus with a team of bodyguards and lets students out of class with unscheduled appearances in their classrooms. Dooley’s Week culminates with Dooley’s Ball, a grand celebration that takes place in the center of campus on McDonough Field held in celebration of Dooley and Emory University. For undergraduates, Greek life comprises approximately 30% of the Emory student population, with the Office of Greek Life at Emory University consisting of 12 Fraternities and 13 Sororities. According to the school website, about 25% of Emory students volunteer with Volunteer Emory, Emory’s umbrella community service group. In terms of class size, two-thirds of all Emory College classes have fewer than 20 students; In addition, the campus features centers devoted to female students, Jewish students, international students, “multicultural” students, and LGBT students. Emory’s “athletics for all” program, which emphasizes the physical and social aspects of student development and learning, in addition to academic pursuits, soon rose to national prominence during the 1920s, prompting many other institutions to emulate it. In 1986, Emory formed the University Athletic Association (UAA) with seven other urban research universities — Carnegie Mellon University, Case Western Reserve University, Johns Hopkins University, New York University, University of Chicago, University of Rochester, and Washington University in St. Louis. To this day, the school fields no football team, prompting students to wear shirts that humorously claim that the Emory football team is “still undefeated”. The student body participates heavily in athletics, with eighty percent of students participating in intercollegiate, club, recreation, or intramural sports during their time at Emory.
