Wondering what Emory's best programs are

Colleges and Universities A-Z Emory University

<p>I've heard that Goizueta is great, of course, but what are the best undergraduate majors Emory offers? </p>

<p>(I was wondering how their math and physics programs were, as well.)</p>

<p>The environmental studies department at Emory is great for ecology, environmental health, and policy. </p>

<p>Here are some other programs where Emory excells:
French
International Relations
English (especially creative writing)
Philosophy of science
Bioethics
Anthropology (not sure which sub-fields though)
African American Studies (the Atlanta location is one of the reasons for its prominence. Incidentally, when my father was at Emory law, one of MLK’s daughter was in his class.)
Jewish Studies
US History
Religion (helps that we’re one of the most diverse schools in the South)</p>

<p>I’m sure there are many more that I’m forgetting or just don’t know about. Fields traditionally associated with pre med are usually quite strong.</p>

<p>whenhen, Just curious, why do you think French is good? </p>

<p>I would add Classics to this list (for undergrad).</p>

4

<p>Chemistry.
I enjoyed Spanish, but I don’t know enough about the subject to know if Emory is good at it.</p>

<p>Doryphorus, the department organizes occasional colloquiums on French literature and there’s a good deal of professors who cover almost all areas that a French major could be interested in. Then there’s Emory’s excellent international studies and European history departments which allow students serious in Francophone culture and history to explore beyond the literature. The only real downside to the French department, other than its location in an area with minimal French influence, are the relative paucity of majors. Only about 8 people graduated* with a French degree, although I suspect that many more opted to minor in the subject (seems to be a common thing for students, especially those in IS to minor in a language). </p>
