Emory degrees (Urgent!!)

<p>once you graduate from Emory University, would you guys write on your resume for work</p>

<p>A.A. from Emory College / Oxford College </p>

<p>or would you only write that you got a </p>

<p>BBA (?) from Goizueta Business School of Emory University
BS from Emory College of Emory University
BA from Emory College of Emory University
etc</p>

<p>what/how would you write on the education spot about emory??</p>

<p>I’m not an Emory student, but I’m applying this year to both Oxford and CAS.</p>

<p>The way I understand it, and the way I’d write it is as follows.</p>

<p>Starting with Oxford:</p>

<p>B.A., Political Science (Or whatever), Emory University
A.A., Oxford College of Emory University</p>

<p>Starting at Emory (College of Arts and Sciences) CAS:</p>

<p>B.A., Political Science (Or whatever), Emory University</p>

<p>Thanks for your reply! :)</p>

<p>But i was wondering if is a must that i enlist that i got my AA at Oxford College?
I read that students who go straight to the campus are doing basically the same too: AA at Emory College.
Can i just enlist: BA Polisci (or whatever), Emory University</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I don’t know that Emory College of Arts and Sciences awards associate’s degrees.</p>

<p>Honestly, I’m not sure if you’d /have/ to list Oxford on your resume, if you’re not applying for an academic position, but you’ll have to list all schools you’ve attended, and what degrees you earned, on most job-applications anyway.</p>

<p>Emory College awards associate’s degrees the same way Oxford does.
People who go to the main campus from the beginning go there to earn the liberal arts associate degree.
Anyhow, thanks for your replies :)</p>

<p>“Emory College awards associate’s degrees the same way Oxford does.

<p>No it does not. Emory college awards only a BS or a BA degree. The B-school gives a BBA and Oxford gives an AA. As someone who recently graduated from Emory after 4 years in the college, I never received an AA.</p>

<p>If you were to be technical about it, I believe Emory University is the institution that grants the degrees on recommendation of the faculty of each college. So you really only have to say AA, Emory University; BA/BS/BBA, Emory University.</p>

<p>I started at Emory College my freshman year, yet I never say “Emory College” specifically. Likewise, those that go to the business or nursing schools wouldn’t necessarily say “Emory College” for their first two years, then “Goizueta B School” and “Woodruff Nursing School,” respectively, during Jr and Sr Years. It’s just Emory University for all 4 years, unless you felt the need to emphasize something to enhance your resume. I don’t think it’s disingenuous to say “BA, Emory University,” even if you stated at Oxford.</p>

<p>I’m sure someone will try to make this into an “Oxford is a backdoor” discussion, but I don’t mean it to be. A BA/BS/BBA from Emory is the same degree no matter if you started at Emory College, Oxford College, or transferred from UGA for Jr year. You should put the most relevant information on your resume.</p>

<p>As far as the employers and admissions are concerned, you only have to list the MOST relevant degree/latest degree you earned. (BA, BS, BBA, BSN, ABSN). They only want to know if you got that bachelor’s degree. (I’ve been told by an mechanical engineer that most employer’s don’t even look at the transcript.) If you’re applying to graduate school, you might have to explain why your transcript shows OX_COURSE ### instead of just COURSE ###.</p>

<p>–
If you want to be really technical about it, you may just put B.whatever and put Emory University 20XX - 20YY.</p>

<p>–
If you are squeamish about the A.A portion, just don’t put it. Most people know that you only have so much space on your resume anyway.</p>

<p>I will make this thread into a “Oxford is a backdoor” discussion :]</p>

<p>Emory University should just align themselves more to the UT system and stop putting “Oxford is just like emory, only you have different transcript, different courses, different campus, different billing, different degree, etc”. I feel like Oxford college is a some kind of ploy to fill in the gap for retention rate and yield rate. //End rant</p>

<p>“Oxford is just like emory, only you have different transcript, different courses, different campus, different billing, different degree, etc”.</p>

<p>So what’s the difference between Oxford and the nursing school or medical school? (My point being that you could make the same argument about those schools - that they have different transcripts, courses, etc. than those in Emory College)</p>

<p>Dude, chill, those who are willing to accept the reality of Oxford already did. Those who don’t, probably won’t no matter what you say.</p>

<p>Nobody’s worked up about it. Just having a conversation.</p>

<p>impervious one: i do understand the point that many are making, oxford is a backdoor to emory. however, I, who created this thread, never asked whether if it was or if you think it was. i only asked about degrees and writing them on job resumes. but thank you (and to others as well!) for your response :D</p>
