College visit: Emory University
Over the next few days, I'll be highlighting some of the schools I visited during my three-week spring college tour. Today I'm spotlighting Emory University, which sits on a beautiful campus in the Druid Hills area of Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 1836, Emory has a distinctly southern feel to it, and offers some of the strongest academic programs in the region.
Emory's English and creative writing programs in particular are nationally recognized. Award-winning Novelist Salman Rushdie is a former faculty member at Emory, and a large portion of his archives are held there, along with those of Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney. Current faculty members at Emory include award-winning author Tayari Jones and well-known African-American literature scholar Valerie Babb. If you're keen on studying writing and/or literature with some of the world's leading literary researchers, thinkers, and writers, Emory would be an ideal place to do it.
"Faculty members make teaching a priority and set aside a significant amount of time for mentoring and helping students with both the course material and with life in general," says one student. Opportunities for mentored research are available in all fields, and a chemistry major reports, "Many students find research opportunities through professors they had during their freshman year."
In addition to the fields mentioned above, Emory is known for strong academic programs in business administration, biology, economics, nursing, and neuroscience. Emory is a highly selective university, and with good reason: graduates of Emory go on to do exciting things, and are well compensated for their work.
