First, the status quo
According to the ranking of universities by US News and World Report, the top 9 universities in China are ranked comprehensively. The school has the best business, law, pre-medical and nursing courses in the United States. Among them, the undergraduate business school ranks third in the United States in the famous magazine Business Weekly. The School of Public Health ranks sixth in the United States. Known as the southern ivy. It is famous for its extremely strict admission. Located in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, it is a comprehensive private school with a long history and remarkable achievements. 20 12 Fall Emory University students14,236 students, including 7,656 undergraduates and 6,580 postgraduates. The school has sufficient funds and strong financial resources, with total assets exceeding $654.38+00 billion and annual budget exceeding $4.6 billion. Because the founder of Coca-Cola Company once donated huge sums of money to build a school, the school has the title of "Coca-Cola University".
Nine famous "New Ivy League" schools: Stanford University, California Institute of Technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Chicago, Duke University, Emory University, Washington University in St. Louis, Carnegie Mellon University and Vanderbilt University.
Main competitors: Duke University, Rice University, William and Mary College, University of Virginia, Vanderbilt University.
There are 2429 professors (99% have the highest degree in this field), 7656 undergraduates and 6580 postgraduates. The ratio of students to professors is 7: 1. Students come from 50 states in the United States and 107 countries around the world, with an admission rate of 24%.
In the ranking of American universities in the past 20 years, Emory University ranks among the top 20 universities in the United States. In the annual university evaluation made by US News and World Report in 2006-20 13, Emory University ranked 18 in the comprehensive ranking of famous research universities in the United States, with undergraduate business schools ranking in the top four and public health schools ranking in the top five. In addition, it ranks in the top 30 in almost all fields in the United States. Graduate schools of business, medicine and law also rank among the top 20 in the United States.
Second, the school characteristics
Emory University is characterized by advocating small class teaching, and students can get a lot of attention from professors. Unlike large public schools with 300 or 400 students, 80% of classes in Emory University have less than 20 students, and 95% have less than 50 students. Therefore, all professors and students are a close whole, students are familiar with each other, and professors can easily understand the students in their own classes, so as to learn from their teachers and friends. In many public universities and schools with a large number of students in the United States, because there are too many students, professors can't understand the students at all, and it is difficult for students to find professors for one-on-one guidance after class. However, in Emory University, because of the high teacher-student ratio (1: 7), it is generally not difficult to ask questions from teachers during their office hours and discuss problems in life and study. Taking advantage of small class teaching, the liberal arts education of Emory University has become very famous and widely recognized in the United States.
Emory University has a world-class teaching team and teaching resources, and 99% of the faculty members have the highest academic qualifications (doctor or above) in this field. A classmate of emory once joked: "Even our PE teacher is a doctor of Ivy League!" The school mainly emphasizes interdisciplinary learning and interdisciplinary practical solutions. After leaving school, graduates can successfully find satisfactory jobs in various fields, start their own businesses, or continue their studies in leading domestic research institutions or professional colleges.
Like Emory University, there are fewer students on campus. The top private universities in the United States that advocate small classes are Harvard University, Stanford University and Dartmouth College. Johns Hopkins University, Brown University, Rice University and Wake Forest University.
Third, the dominant major.
Emory University's business school and school of public health are among the best in the United States, and law school has always been at the forefront in the ranking of American law schools. In addition, its English, psychology, politics and history departments are excellent. Among the students, most of them take biology and chemistry as subjects, which shows that the strength of biology and chemistry is also very deep.
A considerable number of students at Emory University are pre-medical or pre-health students. It should be explained here that there is no undergraduate medical major in the United States, and only graduate students can study medicine. However, if undergraduates want to enter the most competitive medical school, they must complete one year of biology, one year of inorganic chemistry, one year of organic chemistry, one year of physics, one year of mathematics and one year of English before they can apply, but there is no restriction on majors. You can choose any major. Emory University's hospitals are the best in Georgia and the top 20 hospitals in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in the United States are all within five minutes' drive, and various biomedical research institutes and laboratories are scattered within a few kilometers of Fiona Fang, so it is not surprising that the biochemistry department of Emory University is very powerful. If you want to study medicine, the resources are very, very rich.
In addition, when it comes to the strong major of Emory University, we have to mention the double-degree program launched in cooperation with GIT (Georgia Institute of Technology). In this program, students receive general education at Emory University for the first three years, and after meeting certain credit and grade requirements, they study engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology for the next two years, with a five-year academic system. Emory University awarded a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree, and Georgia Institute of Technology awarded a Bachelor of Engineering degree. Emory University has always been famous for its excellent liberal arts education and business education in American academic circles, while Georgia Institute of Technology, which is only ten miles away, is the top institute of technology in the United States, ranking second only to Massachusetts Institute of Technology and California Institute of Technology. Together with Massachusetts Institute of Technology and California Institute of Technology, it is called the three major institutes of technology in the United States. The project ranks second in the United States, second only to the joint project of Harvard and MIT. It is an excellent opportunity for students to realize the all-round development of arts and sciences and give consideration to industry and commerce. However, this program has high requirements for students, and many students who applied for Ivy League were eliminated by it. Only the best all-round students in the United States and the world can enter this program every year.
