How good in computer science at Emory?

Is it more theoretical class or more coding oriented classes? Can you combine higher level math with CS? What about adding finance course along with CS? How is the placement? Daughter is working this summer at a famous computer company and would like to know more about CS activities at Emory?

You can combine a program of study that includes both math and CS:

You can also add finance courses to math and/or CS. However, Emory only allows at most two majors or a major and a minor.

Your daughter should look into Emory’s QSS major (or data science major):

It can be combined with CS or Finance/Economics:

Here’s a link to Emory research labs in math/CS:

There are Emory sponsored or affiliated Hackathons every year:
https://www.hackemory.com/
https://www.hackatl.org/

There’s a data science club

There is a data science research fellowship:

All of these departments also have honors programs and independent research programs where students can pursue research for credit.

Thanks a lot

At Emory, the economics department and the undergraduate business school major are separate courses of study and offer their own courses and concentrations.
