Emory University Top Questions

The amount of GER's that students are required to take are very difficult especially if a student is a science major because science classes take up very little of the ger's.

Most professors know my name. i have had no favorite class, my least favorite class was ArtHistory and introduction to logic. students study quite often. class participation is at an average level. reasonable level of student competition. my most unique class was a psychology-applied-to-novels. Business is very popular and well-renowned. emory's academic requirements are reasonable but demanding. it is geared towards both learning and careers.

My favorite class at emory was my psych 110 class taught by Dr. Edwards. Although it was a large class filled with over 100 students, he knew each student by name. He always held office hours and was extremely approachable. In a class so large it was very comforting to know that my professor cared about my performance and even my personal life. I feel that although emory students love to have fun and enjoy the social scene, we all know that work comes first. I think that the english department at emory is exceptional. I am thinking of becoming an english major and the opportunity to have such a strong writing center and creative writing program is phenomenal. I think that the education at emory is geared toward learning for its own sake. I believe that the fact this school is a liberal arts college teaches students to learn a variety of different subjects. Rather than get a job most of emory undergraduates continue on to graduate school.

The professors at Emory are very friendly and helpful. The academics at Emory are very challenging in certain subjects, and not so much in others. It really depends on your major and all that. The classes are usually in a small setting with a lot of in class interaction between the teacher and the student.

great professors, competitive b school classes

My professors know name my favorite class is Law and Economics, my least favorite is computer science students do not study very often class participation is pretty good I try to have intellectual conversations as often as possible students are competitive my major is econ/math and I think it is useful I wish i could spend more time with my professors than I do I think Emory's requirements are too much education is supposed to be geared toward learning, but most students use it to get a job

2/4 of my Professors know my name this semester. My favorite class is my english class which is about New York City post 9/11. My least favorite class is my freshman seminar because it is really boring. Students study probably 4 or 5 days a week. Class participation is very important in all my classes. I have been part of multiple intellectual conversations out of class. Students are pretty competitive especially students who are in the B-school or pre-med. I don't spend anytime with professors out of class. I think Emory has too many requirements, i agree with a liberal arts education but i feel there are just way too many required classes. I think in the college the education is geared towards learning.

Yes, most classes are small enough so professors know my name. Students study a good amount...some go overboard, others are idiots and don't study at all. Finals time is how it should be...hardly any kids are going out to party on finals weekend. Competition, i'd say isn't a big issue. It's certainly no UPenn...everyone wants to do well, and doesn't see how other people succeeding would prevent that from happening. Most unique class I've taken was Chemistry of Drugs on the Brain, but that's only because it was awful. So far, it's the only bad class I've had at Emory. Seriously...it was so bad. I can't say too much about my own intended major, because I'm not in the B-School yet, but I do want to either double-major in Philosophy or minor in Philosophy, and my experience with that dept. has been fantastic. Emory's academic GER reqs. are very fair and make sense. Emory College is certainly concerned with learning for its own sake...that is the main goal. As for the B-School...it is and should be geared towards getting a good job.

yes professors know my name and they are personable and approachable. its fun

Professors know my name mostly. My favorite class is SPAN 300. Least is Business Calculus. I Study at least 3-4 hours a week with no tests, a ton more when I have a test. Class participation is common. Emory students have intellectual conversations outside class. Students are not too competitive. Most unique class I've taken: Arab Israeli Conflict. My major is International Business and Spanish. I spend time with some professors outside of class. I feel Emory's academic requirements are weird, there are a lot of GERs. I think its fine.
