Emory University is a private institution that was founded in 1836. Known for its commitment to academic excellence and its diverse and noncompetitive environment, Emory is a leading research institution with a strong reputation for rigorous academic programs, outstanding faculty, and a vibrant campus community. Emory offers more than 80 majors and 60 minors, and 13 preprofessional tracks and has more than 325 student clubs and organizations. The university has nine schools: Emory College of Arts and Sciences, Oxford College of Emory University, Emory University School of Medicine, the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, Candler School of Theology, Emory University School of Law, Goizueta Business School, the James T. Laney School of Graduate Studies, and the Rollins School of Public Health. Students can begin their undergraduate studies on one of two campuses, Emory College in Atlanta, GA, and Oxford College in Oxford, GA. The two colleges are academically equivalent but offer distinct environments and opportunities for students to embark on their academic careers. The Atlanta campus hosts approximately 7,000 undergraduate students, a diverse, energetic learning environment at the center of the university's educational and research initiatives. The Oxford College campus has approximately 1,000 undergraduates, evenly split between first and second-year students, an intimate setting typical of a small liberal arts college.
Emory University considers the IB Diploma Program (IBDP) to be among the most rigorous curricula offered worldwide. To be competitive for admission to Emory University, students should be pursuing the IBDP if they attend an IB school. In addition, we may award advanced standing credit to IB students who receive a 5, 6 or 7 on Higher Level exams. Students are encouraged to engage the full IB Diploma when available, however, all students are considered case by case in the context of their school. While there is no minimum score, the most competitive students earn final results of 6 and 7 on their final IB Examinations.
We are able to admit students with any level of IB Mathematics. Students entering into the IBDP are highly encouraged to speak with their IB Coordinator and/or school counselor about the courses within the IBDP which are most appropriate for their trajectory.
Emory University values the rigorous academic standards of the IB Diploma program and welcomes students to apply who are in process of successfully completing it. This includes those pursuing the IB Bilingual Diploma. We recognize their potential to enrich our global community and flourish in a rigorous academic setting.
Credits are awarded for HL courses only. Please refer to the university admission website for more information.
