Emory College Community

Emory College shares the Atlanta campus with our undergraduate business and nursing programs as well as with our graduate and professional schools, adding a big energy and wide perspective to undergraduate life.

Located in historic Druid Hills a few miles from downtown Atlanta, the tree-lined Emory campus has a nature preserve at its edge, and at its center, gray and white marble buildings capped with clay tile roofs.

Our diverse community is involved and committed to making the world a better place. And life on the Emory College campus is busy and fun—whether you’re shopping at the Tuesday Farmer’s Market outside of Cox Hall, laughing with friends at a Wonderful Wednesday, or competing with your residence hall in Songfest.
