ABOUT EMORY COLLEGE
Emory College of Arts and Sciences combines the personal engagement and
excellent teaching of a traditional liberal arts college with the ground-
breaking scholarship and resources of a major research university.
Our diverse, ethically engaged, and inquiry-driven community seeks to
transform the world through leadership in research, teaching, and service. Our
mission is supported by an internationally recognized faculty, dynamic staff,
and superb facilities that adopt the latest innovations in technology and
environmental sustainability.
Nearly 40% of College students have some international experience by
graduation, placing Emory among the top U.S. research universities for study abroad. Emory College faculty have published more than
750 books and have been distinguished recipients of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Humanities Medal, and the National Book Award.
Through participation in interdisciplinary research centers across campus, College faculty bridge traditional barriers between the
disciplines and work together to advance the frontiers of knowledge.
COLLEGE PROFILE
Emory College of Arts and Sciences combines the personal concern of a
small, liberal arts college with the rich diversity of a major, urban university.
The oldest and largest division of Emory University, Emory College of Arts and
Sciences has provided instruction in the arts and sciences to talented, highly
motivated students for more than 165 years. Today its faculty of some four
hundred offers more than twelve hundred courses to nearly five thousand
students drawn from every section of the United States and many foreign
countries.
The College offers students off-campus opportunities to participate in a wide
range of internship programs or to study abroad, including the Bobby Jones
Scholars Program with St. Andrews University in Scotland.
Emory College of Art and Sciences resources are enriched by those of Emory University, a research university comprising
Oxford College, a two-year college located in Oxford, Georgia;
the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences;
and the schools of business, law, medicine (including the allied health programs), nursing, public health, and theology.
Most members of the college faculty also teach in graduate or professional programs. Emory University is a community of scholars
where undergraduates, graduate and professional students, faculty, and staff benefit from the presence of each other as well as from
the presence on or near campus of the
United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
The Carter Center of Emory University and the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum,
Yerkes National Primate Research Center, and
the national headquarters of both the American Cancer Society and the American Academy of Religion.
Emory is expanding its international programs and opportunities to rise to the challenge of globalization. This effort underscores the
University’s conviction that a liberal arts education in the twenty-first century must embrace global perspectives and enhance cross-

cultural understanding. Emory is committed to training its students to pursue their professions and live their lives in a world that is fast
becoming a global neighborhood. Emory College requires courses on foreign language and international and comparative issues; the
other schools have strong international and global components in their curricula. A growing number of international scholars are
teaching and conducting research at Emory; professors from Emory are pursuing scholarly research and service abroad, and their
students gain from their experiences, insights, and broadened perspectives. The enrollment of international students is rising. Emory
faculty and students are participating in The Carter Center action programs in developing countries. Mutually beneficial linkage
agreements with foreign universities present challenging opportunities. Substantial new funding is stimulating exciting initiatives in
global education.
Emory College offers a variety of study abroad opportunities through exchange agreements, Emory study abroad programs, and
programs run by other institutions. While earning direct Emory credit in most academic disciplines, students can study in most parts of
the world, including: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bolivia, Botswana, Brazil, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Egypt, France,
Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Korea, Namibia, Portugal, Russia, South Africa, South Pacific, Spain, Turkey and
the United Kingdom. The Center for International Programs Abroad advises students about studying abroad and works with college
faculty to develop and administer academic year, semester, and summer study abroad programs designed specifically for Emory
undergraduates.
Among the centers for specialized research and study at Emory are the Graduate Institute of the Liberal Arts; The Carter Center of
Emory University; the Emory Center for International Studies; the Center for Ethics in Public Policy and the Professions; the Center for
Research in Faith and Moral Development; and the Michael C. Carlos Museum. Independent affiliates include the National Faculty of
Humanities, Arts, and Sciences and the Georgia Humanities Council.
To qualify for baccalaureate degrees, students of Emory College must fulfill
distribution requirements that ensure both basic competency in essential skills
and a general knowledge of each of the major areas of human inquiry, and
they must fulfill major requirements that ensure a command of the area of
inquiry of most interest to them. Since these requirements permit flexibility and
also reserve a substantial portion of each course of study for free electives,
students work with faculty and student advisers to fashion programs that fit
their individual interests. In this way Emory not only prepares students to face
demanding tasks and complex problems but also introduces them to the full
range of human achievement and aspiration in the hope of deepening their
most searching questions and intensifying their resolve to attain their life goals.
To encourage full participation in its programs, Emory College encourages
students to partake of an active residential life on campus. The college’s
commitment to campus residence reflects its conviction that largeness of mind and spirit may be learned in dormitories and concert
halls, on stages and playing fields, as well as in classrooms, laboratories, and libraries. Students are, therefore, encouraged to
participate in cocurricular activities that range from lectures, colloquia, and symposia, to concerts, exhibits, and plays, to intercollegiate
and intramural sports, to scores of social clubs, civic organizations, and religious groups.
Although the college faculty is deeply committed both to discovering knowledge through scholarship and research and to
communicating it through teaching, it also values informal interaction with students through advising programs and cocurricular
activities. Students who become members of the Emory community should expect, therefore, to meet challenges in a variety of contexts
and to learn from other students as well as from the faculty and staff.
Members of the college also join members of other divisions of the University in bringing distinguished guests for comprehensive
symposia or consultations on themes of common interest. The Carter Center of Emory University regularly sponsors major
consultations. Topics have focused on the Near East, national health policy, arms control and international security, reinforcing
democracy in the Americas, global health, the Middle East, and women in the Constitution.
Surrounded by a hilly residential section of Atlanta called Druid Hills, the Emory campus combines natural beauty with historic interest.
Peavine Creek, a branch of Peachtree Creek, winds through the campus. Flowering shrubsazaleas, dogwoods, and redbuds
abound; and towering treesmagnolias, maples, oaks, and pinesprovide shade. Several buildings on the main quadrangle are listed
in the National Register of Historic Places, and several markers on the campus commemorate historic events.

A few miles south and west of the campus, the center of Atlanta bustles with
activities stimulated by government, business, and transportation as well as
research, education, and culture. A contemporary city of energy and charm,
Atlanta has increasingly gained national and international prominence. This
was highlighted by its selection as the host of the 1996 Olympic Games. It is
the home of some twenty colleges and universities, including Agnes Scott
College, the Atlanta College of Art, Clark Atlanta University, the Georgia
Institute of Technology, Georgia State University, Morris Brown College,
Morehouse College, Oglethorpe University, and Spelman College. Several
professional sports teams are based in the city. Opera and theater have been
strong since the opening of DeGive’s Opera House in 1893. Today Atlanta’s
Woodruff Arts Center includes the High Museum of Art and the Alliance
Theatre as well as the Atlanta Symphony and Chorus.
Located more than one thousand feet above sea level, Atlanta offers four distinct seasons. A few hours north of the city, students hike
on the Appalachian Trail, canoe and raft on the Chattooga, Chestatee, and Hiawassee rivers, or ski on Sugar Mountain. East and
south, they swim and sun on the coasts of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Through organizations such as Volunteer Emory, the
college encourages students to explore the city of Atlanta and the region surrounding it and to contribute to the lives of other people
its hope being that the education and the lives of all of its students will be enriched both by their human and civic concerns and by their
work and play.

MISSION STATEMENTS
UNIVERSITY MISSION STATEMENT
Emory University's mission is to create, preserve, teach, and apply knowledge in the service of humanity.
The linked image cannot be displayed. The file may have been moved, renamed, or deleted. Verify that the link points to the correct file and location.
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 17
To fulfill this mission, the University supports the full range of scholarship, from
undergraduate to advanced graduate and professional instruction, and from
basic research to its application in public service. While being a
comprehensive research university, Emory limits its academic scope to those
fields in which, by virtue of its history and location, it can excel. Hence its
academic programs focus on the arts and sciences, business, law, theology,
and the health professions. These disciplines are unified by their devotion to
liberal learning; by cooperative interdisciplinary programs; and by the common
pursuit of intellectual distinction.
The Emory community is open to all who meet its high standards of
intelligence, competence, and integrity. It welcomes a diversity of ethnic,
cultural, socioeconomic, religious, national, and international backgrounds,
believing that the intellectual and social energy that results from such diversity
is a primary asset of the University.
In keeping with the demand that teaching, learning, research, and service be
measured by high standards of integrity and excellence, and believing that
each person and every level of scholarly activity should be valued on its own
merits, the University aims to imbue scholarship at Emory with
A commitment to humane teaching and mentorship and a respectful
interaction among faculty, students, and staff;
Open disciplinary boundaries that encourage integrative teaching,
research, and scholarship;
A commitment to use knowledge to improve human well-being; and
A global perspective on the human condition.
The University, founded by the Methodist Episcopal Church, cherishes its historical affiliation with the United Methodist Church. While
Emory's programs are today entirely nonsectarian (except for those at the Candler School of Theology), the University has derived from
this heritage the conviction that education can be a strong moral force in both society and the lives of its individual members.
COLLEGE MISSION STATEMENT
The scholarly mission of Emory College involves research and creativity, teaching, and service.
As an institution dedicated to intellectual discovery and creativity, Emory College is charged both with generating new knowledge
and with inventing new ways of understanding what is already known. Faculty, administrators, and students cooperate to expand the
boundaries of the known through
research and experimentation,
creation and performance,
publishing the results of their efforts for the general advancement of learning and the betterment of the human prospect.
As a teaching institution, Emory College imparts to its students the kinds of knowledge that traditionally compose a broad liberal
education:
practical skills in critical thinking and persuasive writing, in mathematics and computation, in a foreign language;

Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 18
a basic familiarity with modes of inquiry proper to natural science and mathematics, to the social sciences, and to the arts and
humanities; and
a mature command of at least one discipline or field of concentration.
Through instruction that aims to be the symbiotic complement of research, Emory College prepares its graduates to live an active life of
the mind, aware of their responsibilities to assume a part in the intellectual leadership of the nation.
As an institution responsive to the various communities of which it is a member, Emory College acknowledges a commitment to
service in its local community, in the national and international academic community, and in the nation as whole.
Each aspect of this threefold mission must be carried forward in an atmosphere of intellectual and moral integrity, one of habitual regard
for the ethical dimensions of research and creativity, teaching, and service.
COLLEGE STATEMENT ON DIVERSITY
Emory College of Arts and Sciences is committed to valuing difference and ensuring that the students, faculty, staff, and administrators
are diverse in ethnicity, gender, religion, philosophy, sexual orientation, and physical ability. At the same time, we are unified in the goal
of achieving academic excellence, preparing for life and work in a global society. We strive to offer multicultural and gender-balanced
education in the curriculum, instruction, and services that address learning and physical disabilities and support for staff and faculty
development.
UNIVERSITY ENVIRONMENTAL MISSION STATEMENT PRECIS
We, the Emory University community, affirm our commitment to protect and enhance the environment through our teaching, research,
service, and administrative operations. We seek to foster a community that sustains ecological systems and educates for environmental
awareness, local action, and global thinking. We seek to make environmentally sound practices a core value of the University.

VICE PRESIDENT AND DEPUTY TO THE PRESIDENT
COR PRUDENTIS POSSIDEBIT SCIENTIAM: "The wise heart seeks knowledge."
-Emory University motto, Proverbs 18:15
In 1836, when the Cherokee nation still clung to its ancestral lands in Georgia,
and Atlanta itself had yet to be born, a small band of Methodists dedicated
themselves to founding a new town and college. They called the town Oxford,
linking their little frontier enterprise with the university attended by the founders
of Methodism, John and Charles Wesley. The college they named Emory,
after an American Methodist bishop who had inspired them by his broad vision
for education that would enhance the character as well as the mind of men
and women.
From its beginning, Emory has sought to preserve and carry forward the ideals
of the nineteenth-century public spirit out of which Emory and other colleges
had their beginnings. These ideals owed much to the peculiarly American
blend of hope for a perfect future, democratic conviction about the importance
of individuals, and progressive reform of educational curricula. That philosophy has shaped a university that aims to nurture moral
imagination as well as critical intellect and aesthetic judgment.
On December 10, 1836, the Georgia legislature granted a charter to Emory College, named for the young Methodist bishop John
Emory, from Maryland, who had died in a carriage accident the previous year. Not until two years after the chartering would the College

open its doors, and on September 17, 1838, the College's first president, Ignatius Alphonso Few, and three other faculty members
welcomed fifteen freshmen and sophomores. They hailed from as far away as Charleston, South Carolina, and they included a future
Emory president, Osborn L. Smith, and a future member of the faculty, George W. W. Stone.
In retrospect, the mission of the nineteenth-century college appears to have been to rein in the spirit as much as to expand the mind.
Certainly that was true at Emory. Students had to be in their rooms during study hours and could not go beyond the town limits more
than a mile without the president's consent. Signing their names into the Matriculation Book, the earliest students bound themselves to
obey the "Laws and Statutes of the College." Despite the watchful attention of their "guards," students often found ways to work up
enough mischief for the faculty to put them on probation, even to expel them. Covington, an apparent seedbed of temptation, provided
the allure of taverns and traveling shows.
Other social outlets proved more harmonious with the academic tenor of the campus. Two principal venues for student gatherings were
Phi Gamma Hall and Few Hall, named for the two literary societies that brought students together for sharing meals, preparing their
lessons, and talking about matters of the intellect. A keen competitiveness developed between the two societies, leading to a tradition
of debate that permeated the campus, and laying the groundwork for Emory's national preeminence in debate-a tradition carried
forward since 1955 in the Barkley Forum.
Athletics, too, has had an important place at Emory for well over a hundred years-although Emory has never played intercollegiate
football and still proudly proclaims, under the emblem of a football on T-shirts, "Undefeated Since 1836." For many years, going back to
the presidency of Warren Candler in the 1890s, Emory prohibited intercollegiate sports. His principal objection was the cost of
intercollegiate athletics programs, the temptation to gambling, and the distraction from scholarship. Candler was not unalterably
opposed to athletics, however. During his presidency he oversaw the creation of the nation's first model intramural program. In spirit the
program made it possible for every student to participate in athletics, and this possibility became at Emory a guiding principle-"Athletics
for All."
In time, the Board of Trustees modified its position on intercollegiate sports by
reaffirming the ban on major sports-football, basketball, and baseball-but
allowing the possibility of competition in others. Soon Emory was competing in
soccer, swimming, tennis, track and field, and wrestling, and in 1985 Emory
helped to found the University Athletic Association, a league of Division III
members that stresses academics first. Emory's intercollegiate programs
regularly rank among the top ten NCAA Division III programs in the country
and graduate more academic all-Americans than any other university in
Division I, II, or III.
For the first half-century of its life Emory struggled for existence, clinging to a
tenuous financial lifeline. When war broke out between North and South in
1861, every student left to fight, and the College's trustees closed the College
for the duration. When Emory reopened in January 1866, three faculty
members (including President James Thomas) returned to a campus whose
buildings had been used for military hospitals and whose libraries and equipment had been destroyed.
By the turn of the twentieth century, Emory's curriculum had evolved from a traditional liberal arts program dependent on rote
memorization and drill, to become broad enough for students to earn degrees in science, to study law or theology, and even to pursue
learning and expertise in technology and tool craft. President Isaac Stiles Hopkins, a polymath professor of everything from English to
Latin and Math, had launched a department of technology that struck the fancy of state legislators, and soon enough they were luring
him away from Emory to become the first president of what is now the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Still, the sleepy little town of Oxford offered little advantage to a college whose trustees might have their visions set on higher
aspirations. By happenstance, the road from Oxford to Atlanta was paved by Vanderbilt University. In 1914, following a protracted
struggle between the Vanderbilt University Board of Trust and the bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, over control of the
university, the church severed its long relationship with Vanderbilt and made plans to create a new university in the Southeast. Asa
Candler, the founder of The Coca-Cola Company and brother to former Emory President Warren Candler, helped the church decide
that the new university should be built in Atlanta. Writing to the Educational Commission of the church on June 17, 1914, Candler
offered $1 million and a subsequent gift of seventy-five acres of land.

Emory College trustees agreed to move the college to Atlanta as the liberal arts core of the university. Those seventy-five acres, about
six miles northeast of downtown Atlanta, lay in pasture and woods amid Druid Hills, a parklike residential area laid out by landscape
architect Frederick Law Olmstead, the designer of New York City's Central Park. Within a year marble buildings were under
construction out in the Druid Hills, and within four years-by September 1919-Emory College had joined the schools of theology, law,
medicine, business, and graduate studies at the University's muddy new campus.
The course of Emory's history changed dramatically and forever when, in November 1979, Robert Woodruff, an Emory alumnus and
former Coca-Cola chairman, and his brother, George, transferred to Emory $105 million in Coca-Cola stock (worth nearly one billion
dollars in 2005). At the time the largest single gift to any institution of higher education in American history, the Woodruff gift made a
profound impact on Emory's direction over the next two decades, boosting the University into the top ranks of American research
universities. In the quarter-century since, Emory has built on its considerable strengths in the arts and humanities, the health sciences,
and the professions, through strategic use of resources.
The small community of scholarship founded in Oxford has grown, but Emory's growth in research has in no way diminished the
insistence on great teaching by the faculty. The 1997 report of the University Commission on Teaching reaffirmed Emory's historical
emphasis on the high quality of teaching at all faculty levels and in all schools and recommended various means of support to ensure
the perpetuation of this great tradition.
Since September 2003 the University has undertaken to refine its vision for its future and to develop a strategic plan for how to get
there. The Vision Statement calls for Emory to be
"a destination university internationally recognized as an inquiry-driven, ethically engaged, and diverse community,
whose members work collaboratively for positive transformation in the world through courageous leadership in
teaching, research, scholarship, health care, and social action."
This vision harmonizes with Emory's heritage, which has blended the pursuit of truth with a commitment of service to the wider
community. As summed up by Emeritus Professor James Harvey Young in an earlier history of Emory, the University has sought,
throughout its life, "to make the chief ends of teaching and learning not simply the advancement of scholarly knowledge and
professional expertise but also the cultivation of humane wisdom and moral integrity." True to this commitment, Emory continues to
shape an education for the twenty-first century that will enable the wise heart to seek knowledge for service to the world.

GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
The general education component of an Emory undergraduate education is organized to present an array of intellectual approaches
and perspectives as ways of learning rather than a prescribed body of content. Its purposes are to develop students’ competencies in
the skills and methods of writing, quantitative methods, a second language, and physical education; to acquaint students with
methodologies that characterize the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences as the three broad divisions of learning in
the arts and sciences; to deepen students’ perspectives on national, regional, and global history and culture, and to give every student
some exposure to an interactive seminar experience. These purposes are met by a student’s choosing from a range of individual
courses within a clearly defined framework.
Only courses taken for 3 credits or above will satisfy the General Education Requirement with the following exceptions: Health, PE, the
lab portion of SNTL courses, and the second semester of the honors thesis course (which may carry CWRT credit) may fulfill GERs
when taken for fewer than three credits.
The list of courses satisfying General Education Requirements is constantly under review. For the latest version of the list, please see
below.

RACE AND ETHNICITY (ETHN) COURSES - AREA X
The Race and Ethnicity requirement provides students with opportunities to consider racial, ethnic, and cultural dynamics; political,
economic and social exclusions; and social difference, inequality and identity more generally, to gain an awareness of how these affect
structural inequality amongst individuals and communities. While courses fulfilling this requirement may originate in any discipline or
department, they share a common commitment to exploring the many ways that race and ethnicity shape our world and affect our
understanding of it.

ACADEMIC POLICIES & REGULATIONS
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Both the Bachelor of Arts degree and the Bachelor of Science degree combine liberal studies with advanced studies. To earn the BA or
BS degree, a student must successfully complete at least one hundred and twenty-four credit hours in approved academic courses plus
two credit hours in physical education and a one credit hour personal health course.
The undergraduate education in Emory College comprises three overlapping components:
general education requirements that provide a common core of substance and methodology;
more intensive and advanced study in a major field; and
free-ranging exploration by means of elective courses.
GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
These courses provide for a common core of academic experience for Emory College students. Faculty and advisors work closely with
students, especially in the first two years, in choosing the specific courses used to fulfill these requirements. The faculty's principal
objective in establishing these requirements is to encourage students to familiarize themselves with the knowledge and the
methodologies that characterize the arts and humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences and mathematics; to increase
their ability to express ideas effectively in English and in another language; to extend their capacities for making informed judgments of
value; to expand their knowledge and understanding of themselves, of their own and other cultures, and of the natural world; and to
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 436
develop their awareness of the ways in which the various academic disciplines may complement one another in solving the world's
problems.
For the most current list of courses satisfying the General Education Requirements, please see the GER website.
MAJOR REQUIREMENTS
Students must complete requirements for a major in a particular academic field. In order to complete a major, students must formally
designate a program no earlier than the second semester of their freshman year and no later than the end of the sophomore year (see
"Declaration of Plan [Major/Minor] form" available online). Students will normally be required to complete the major or minor
requirements that are in place at the time they declare the program. When the requirements for a major or minor have changed,
students may petition to complete the program under the old or new requirements, and departments have the discretion to approve or
reject these requests.
The departments and the deans reserve the right to judge the advisability of an applicant's admission to any particular concentration.
Each student's major program must be arranged under the direction and with the approval of a faculty advisor in the major with a view
to obtaining reasonable mastery of a chosen field and with due provision for work outside that field. Minors are available in certain fields
for students who wish to complete a minor in addition to a major. Students must maintain at least a C (2.0) average in any major or
minor they complete. If they choose, Emory College students may be certified in two, but not more than two, areas of concentration. An
Emory College student may thus have two majors or one major and a minor. Students enrolled in the BBA program may be certified in
one area of concentration in Emory College (either a major or a minor).
PROGRAMS OF STUDY
Students may earn one, and only one, of the following undergraduate degrees from Emory University. In completing the following
degrees, Emory College officially recognizes no more than two concentrations-either two majors or a major and minor. Such recognition
does not appear on Emory diplomas but is shown on students' transcripts.
BACHELOR OF ARTS OR BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
Emory College offers a number of majors that can result in a BA or BS. Students must maintain at least a C (2.0) average in any major
they complete.
MINORS
Minors are available in certain fields for students who wish to complete a minor in addition to a major. Students must maintain at least a
C (2.0) average in any minor they complete.
BACHELOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Students applying to the BBA Program for spring/early admission must complete 56 credit hours by the end of the third regular
semester in order to be eligible to matriculate. Students applying to the BBA Program for fall/regular admission must complete 60 credit
hours by the end of spring of sophomore year. These credit hours include credits from AP, IB, and other internationally recognized tests
but do not include ECS 101, Personal Health, or PE credits.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING
The BSN degree is awarded after students complete 60 credit hours in Emory College and two years in the Nell Hodgson Woodruff
School of Nursing. These sixty credit hours may include up to 12 AP, IB, or internationally recognized test credits toward prerequisite
requirements as long as the credit hours and coursework are displayed on the Emory transcript.
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 437
Some courses required prior to entering the nursing program are not available at Emory College. Interested students should consult
with the School of Nursing and the Office for Undergraduate Education about requirements.
A dual degree program between Emory College and the School of Nursing is also available as described below.
STUDENTS CONTINUING TO EMORY COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES FROM OXFORD COLLEGE
Students who meet the requirements from Oxford College and receive an associate degree may continue to Emory College of Arts and
Sciences to receive a bachelor’s degree.
Oxford College Continuees must earn a total of 127 credit hours (124 academic credit hours, a minimum of 2 PE credit hours, and a
third academic or PE credit hour) to graduate from Emory College; of these credit hours, a minimum of fifty-four credit hours must be
earned in Emory College with a minimum of three semesters of residence in Emory College (twelve credit hours or more per semester);
a semester of fewer than twelve credit hours can be combined with another semester of fewer than twelve credit hours to make up one
semester of residence; however, a partial semester may not be combined with a semester of more than twelve credit hours to form two
semesters of residence.
ACADEMIC CREDIT FROM PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS
Students enrolled in Emory College who pursue coursework in Emory’s undergraduate professional schools or who return to Emory
College from one of these programs may receive up to thirty-two semester hours of credit, provided the credits have not already been
used to complete another degree program.
DUAL AND EXTENDED DEGREE PROGRAMS
Students who enter dual or extended degree programs may earn the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science degree from Emory
College and a second bachelor, professional, or advanced degree from another division of the University or institution with a dual
degree agreement with Emory College. These programs include:
4+1 Programs
Students may earn a bachelor’s degree in four years of study and a master’s degree with an additional year of study in the following
subjects:
BA/MA or BS/MA in Bioethics
BA/MSPH Biostatistics
BS/MS Cancer Biology and Translational Oncology
BA/MS or BS/MS Computer Science
BS/MS Environmental Sciences
BS/MPH Environmental Sciences and Environmental Health
BA/MA English
BA/MA Film Studies [program is currently suspended]
Juris Master (JM) Program
Dual Degree in Engineering with the Georgia Institute of Technology
The Dual Degree Program in Engineering is not an official major at Emory College. Rather it is an academic opportunity for
undergraduate students, with an interest in engineering, to pursue bachelor’s degrees at both Emory College and the Georgia Institute
of Technology (Georgia Tech).
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 438
The minimum amount of time to complete both degrees is 5 years; however, the program may take longer depending on the student's
academic interests and studies. The program is sequential and students will receive a degree from each institution upon completion of
the full program.
Planning for this program is very important as the academic requirements are intense and rigorous. Students should consult with the
Dual Degree advisor to find out about the prerequisite courses needed for transfer (subject to change based on the year students apply
to Georgia Tech) and the requirements needed to complete a degree with Emory College.
Dual Degree in Computer Science with Agnes Scott College
Students who initially enroll at Agnes Scott College in Decatur, GA may participate in a dual degree program with Emory in the field of
Computer Science. Click here for the pre-application. Students will study a computer science curriculum in the Department of Computer
Science plus one additional course outside the department to meet Emory’s general education requirements. Students will work
towards a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT & EXEMPTION
Information for Incoming First Year College Students
Emory College recognizes that entering students differ in preparation and proficiency in various subjects. The College provides a
variety of ways in which students may qualify for advanced courses or accelerate their progress toward both bachelor’s and master’s
degrees.
Advanced Placement Policy
Undergraduate students admitted to Emory University as students in Emory College of Arts and Sciences (ECAS) or Oxford College
may receive up to 12 credit hours towards hours required for graduation through acceptable Advanced Placement (AP) scores,
International Baccalaureate (IB) scores, or other internationally recognized testing schemes (e.g. A-levels, French Baccalaureate),
herein referred to as “recognized test scores.” Students with more than four acceptable test scores may receive a non-credit-bearing
course waiver for each additional test.
1. Faculty in ECAS and Oxford College will jointly determine the scores for specific tests that will be accepted, and the equivalent
courses at Emory that tests can replace. AP scores below 4 and IB Higher Level scores below 5 will not be accepted as
fulfilling Emory requirements. For example, the ECAS Mathematics department and Oxford Mathematics faculty will jointly
review the Calculus AP tests to determine whether Emory will accept scores of 4 and 5, or only scores of 5 for each test. The
faculty will further evaluate whether the AP test credit can be used as a pre-requisite for courses that require MATH 111 or
MATH_OX 111 as a pre-requisite.
2. Students will receive 3 credit hours for each accepted test scores, up to 12 total credit hours. Where two exams are offered in
one field, for example English Literature and English Language, languages, or computer science, credit will be offered for one
but not both exams. Students who take both the AP and IB tests for the same course are eligible to have only one test posted
for the course.
3. Students may fulfill GER requirements with recognized test scores if the equivalent Emory courses fulfill GER requirements
and the credits are posted on the Emory transcript. For recognized tests that offer only elective credit, students receive credit
hours but may not use the test scores to fulfill GER requirements or as pre-requisites for more advanced courses. Waivers
(acceptable scores beyond 12 credits) will not fulfill GER requirements.
4. Students may use recognized test credit to allow them to begin with more advanced courses. For example, a student with
appropriate recognized test scores for Economics may begin with ECON 112 if the Economics faculty determine that
recognized test courses cover the curriculum of ECON 101.
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 439
5. All recognized tests with appropriate scores for credit hours or waivers will be posted to the Emory transcript. This will allow a
student to use these test scores as pre-requisites, and allow advisors to understand students’ preparation for more advanced
courses. While waivers will fulfill pre-requisites and allow for placement in higher level courses, they will not fulfill GER
requirements.
6. Test score information must be sent to Emory directly from the organization issuing test scores and must be received by the
end of a student’s first semester at Emory. Scores received after the student’s first semester will not be reviewed nor
accepted.
Transient study policies, for courses completed at another accredited college or university before or during matriculation at Emory, are
set separately from these policies. For entering first-year students, a combined 18 credit hours (of which 12 may be awarded from
recognized test credits) may be granted (see Transient Study).
Language Placement
Language placement is handled variously by the different language departments. No credit is awarded for courses a student exempts
as a result of placement.
College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)
No credit is awarded for the College-Level Examination Program.
Additional Information for Incoming Transfer Students
The Office of Admission evaluates all credit hours earned from previous institutions, including recognized test scores, upon acceptance
to Emory College of Arts and Sciences. Students may transfer a maximum of 62 credit hours.
The first-year seminar is waived for all transfer students.
The first-year writing requirement may be fulfilled by recognized test scores or previous college credits. This requirement will
be waived for incoming transfer students with 30+ hours at matriculation.
One continuing writing requirement will be waived for incoming transfer students with 60+ hours at matriculation
The Personal Health Requirement (Health 100) is waived for all transfer students.
The PED (PE elective) will be waived for incoming transfer students with 60+ hours at matriculation.
Transfer students must complete their final 64 academic hours at Emory.
Additional Information for Incoming Oxford Continuee Students
Students starting at Oxford College of Emory University must have all previous transfer credits, including test credits, and transient
credits finalized before graduating from Oxford. Oxford Continuees may not add/drop/swap previous credits after the associate degree
is awarded. A student’s academic record is sealed when the degree has been granted, and no changes to the record will be made.
Recognized Tests, Previous College, and Transient Study Credit Drops and Swaps
Undergraduate students must submit all recognized test scores or official transcripts from previous institutions by the end of their first
semester of Emory (applies to new first-year and transfer students). If a final transcript for summer coursework is not available by the
first day of classes, it must be submitted by October 1, immediately following the summer in which the course work was completed. All
credits completed before matriculation at Emory are reviewed and posted by the Office of Admission. Failure to submit all official
transcripts may result in a hold on your registration.
Students will be allowed to swap or drop credits earned through test credits or from other institutions posted on the transcript until they
have earned 64 credit hours. In order for students to be eligible to drop or swap credits, the credit bearing and/or the non-credit-bearing
course waiver(s) must already be posted on the Emory transcript. Credits or non-credit bearing course waivers eligible for swap/drop
can include: AP/IB or International test credits, previous college credit (courses taken before matriculation at Emory), or transient
credits.

CHANGING & REPEATING COURSES
Changing & Repeating Courses
Repetition of Courses
When a course that was previously passed is repeated, the new course credit hours do not count towards a degree. A student who
wishes to re-take a course previously passed and not receive additional degree credit will be permitted to do so only if deemed
advisable by the faculty advisor and a dean in the Office for Undergraduate Education.
All courses repeated, whether passed or not, including the original course, will be calculated in the student’s grade-point average, and
the original course grade will remain on the student’s transcript.
A student will be permitted to retake a course if they fail to successfully complete a course. A student may not attempt to pass a course
any more than three times.
Changing Courses
A student may change courses within the first two weeks of the semester (the Add/Drop/Swap period). After the conclusion of the
Add/Drop/Swap period, students may petition to drop a course through the twenty-fifth class day of the semester. A change may be
made in the grading basis of a course (letter grade or S/U) through the thirty-third class day of the semester. (See Academic Calendar
for specific dates.)

UNDERGRADUATE CODE OF CONDUCT
The Undergraduate Code of Conduct outlines the expectations of the University for undergraduate student and student organization
behavior and details the process for resolution of alleged violations of non-academic misconduct. Through the Code, administered by
the Office of Student Conduct in Emory Campus Life, the University promotes the values of personal responsibility, active citizenship,
and consideration for others. All students are expected to know and abide by the Code, available online at http://conduct.emory.edu.
Instances of academic misconduct are adjudicated under the provisions of the Emory College Honor Code, which is administered
through the Office for Undergraduate Education.
APPROVED: CURRICULUM, ASSESSMENT, AND EDUCATIONAL POLICY COMMITTEE, FEBRUARY 19, 2020
ACADEMIC STANDING POLICIES: CONTINUATION, PROBATION & EXCLUSION
Academic Standing Policies: Continuation, Probation & Exclusion
Students are expected to make progress toward completion of their degree as outlined in "Continuation Requirements." Emory College
of Arts and Sciences wants to give all students the opportunity to demonstrate their scholastic ability. However, it is not in the best
interest of either the students or the College to permit students to continue indefinitely in educational programs in which they are not
producing satisfactory results.
Continuation Requirements
To graduate from the College, a student must accumulate 127 total credit hours. For students who start as first year students or transfer
students in Emory College of Arts and Sciences, this includes a minimum of 124 academic credit hours plus the required 2 credit hours
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 441
of physical education and 1 credit hour of personal health. For students who begin in Oxford College, this includes 124 academic credit
hours, 2 credit hours of physical education credits, and one credit hour of either academic or physical education credit. Additional hours
of physical education do not count toward the degree. A grade-point average of at least 2.0 for all work attempted for a letter grade is
required of all students.
Minimum requirements for continuation from year to year are as follows:
First Year: a minimum of 30 credit hours passed after two semesters on first-year standing and a 1.5 grade-point average on
all work attempted;
Second Year: a minimum of 60 credit hours passed after two semesters on sophomore standing and a 1.67 grade-point
average on all work attempted;
Third Year: a minimum of 90 credit hours passed after two semesters on junior standing and a 1.75 grade-point average on all
work attempted.
During the fourth year, a student must make satisfactory progress toward fulfilling requirements for a degree.
A year is normally interpreted as two full semesters or the equivalent. A full semester is one in which a student enrolls for 12 or more
credit hours; two or more partial semesters in which a student enrolls for less than 12 credit hours, but which taken together total at
least 12 credit hours, count as one full semester. Usually students will be promoted at the end of a year of work in a given class.
Students needing an additional semester to attain minimum standards for continuation or graduation must be granted permission to
enroll by Emory College of Arts and Sciences and must take all required work at Emory. In such cases, the additional semester will
normally be the next consecutive one except for first-year students (see “Exclusion”).
Academic Warning and Probation
Students on academic warning or probation will be expected to focus their time and energy on their studies in order to bring their work
to the required standard.
A dean in the Office for Undergraduate Education or the Committee on Academic Standards may, at their discretion and
irrespective of grades, declare probationary status for any student who, in their opinion, is not properly using their time and
talents.
Any student whose cumulative or term grade-point average is less than 2.0 will be placed on academic probation.
Any student who attains less than 1.5 grade-point average in a term, fails to pass two-thirds of their courses in a term, or
needs a third term to promote will be placed on academic probation and will be informed that they are at risk for academic
exclusion (see “Academic Exclusion”). These students will also be required to work with an advisor in the Office for
Undergraduate Education to create a plan of action (POA) for the probationary period. The POA may require that students
complete an educational program that reviews academic policies and resources. A dean may also at their discretion require
any student on academic warning or probation to work with an advisor on a POA.
Any student who has three or more Incomplete (I) grades on their transcript will receive an academic warning.
Students with a 3.3 grade-point average or higher who are more than three credits short of promoting after two terms in a
class will receive an academic warning.
Academic Advisory and Academic Watch
Students in these categories are not on probation but are at academic risk. The Office for Undergraduate Education will notify and work
with students who are at academic risk. The goal is to help students achieve academic success, and avoid academic probation or
exclusion.
Academic Exclusion
One-Semester Exclusion:
Any student after the first year who fails for two successive semesters of full-time work to pass two-thirds of the hours taken, or
fails to attain at least a 1.5 grade-point average, will be automatically excluded for one regular semester regardless of any
previous average. A student who is excluded under this rule will not be eligible to apply for readmission for the next regular
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 442
(not summer) semester. For students excluded at the end of the spring term, the period of exclusion begins at the conclusion
of the spring term and ends at the end of the next fall term. A petition for readmission for any subsequent term will be reviewed
by a dean in the Office for Undergraduate Education. A student who is readmitted and fails to meet the requirements set by
the committee will be permanently excluded.
A dean in the Office for Undergraduate Education reserves the right to exclude students prior to or at the end of the first year if
their progress is not satisfactory. First-year students who, after two semesters, do not meet the 1.5 grade-point average
required for continuation to sophomore standing (see “Continuation Requirements”) may be excluded for one regular semester
before being permitted to enroll for a third semester of academic work.
Permanent Exclusion:
A student who fails to meet minimum requirements for continuation from one class to the next after two semesters may
continue for one additional semester of residence only with the approval of the Committee on Academic Standards or the
Office for Undergraduate Education (see “Continuation Requirements”). Should a student, at the end of the third semester, fail
to meet minimum requirements for continuation, the student will be permanently excluded.
A student who, after a semester-exclusion, is readmitted and fails to meet the readmission requirements set by a dean in the
Office for Undergraduate Education will be permanently excluded.

COURSE LOAD REQUIREMENTS
To complete a degree within 8 full time semesters, a normal course load is 15 to 16 credit hours per semester. Students must enroll in
12 to 19 credit hours in any one semester with the following exceptions.
Students with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher are permitted to take up to twenty-two credit hours (excluding physical
education and applied music). Permission for additional physical education or music credit hours (up to twenty-four credit hours total)
must be granted by the Office for Undergraduate Education.
Students may not take fewer than 12 credit hours in any one semester. Exceptions for medical or other circumstances may be granted
by the Office for Undergraduate Education in consultation with the Office for Accessibility Services. (See the partial withdrawal policy for
underloads occurring after Add/Drop/Swap.)
Seniors in their final semester of study may underload (enroll in fewer than 12 credits) or overload (enroll in more than 19 credits). Both
of these require permission from the Office for Undergraduate Education before the end of the Add/Drop/Swap period. Seniors may
underload in their final semester of study because they are not required to enroll for more credits than are needed to complete the
degree. Seniors in their final semester of study with less than a 3.0 cumulative grade-point average may take up to 22 credit hours
excluding physical education and music (and no more than 24 credit hours total).
Students with outstanding incomplete course grades may not overload in credit hours in subsequent semesters.
All credit for academic work must be awarded in the semester in which the work is undertaken, including summer sessions, directed
readings, and internships.

FINAL EXAMS AND THE EXAM PERIOD
Emory College’s policies for final exams and the examination period have been established to ensure students can adequately plan and
study for their examinations and other final assignments. All faculty are expected to adhere to the policies below. Final exams are
defined as any exam (or significant final assignment) given after the penultimate week of class.
1. Faculty members who give in-person final exams must give their exams during the final exam time scheduled by the
Registrar’s office. Faculty may not reschedule their exams. The deadline for any take home exams should correspond to the
scheduled final exam time.
2. The deadline for final papers, projects, performances, and presentations may fall during the last week of class, at the
scheduled exam time, or at the very end of the exam period. Faculty may not set deadlines for these projects at other points
during the exam period or on reading days.
3. Reading days fall between the final day of class and the start of the exam period; they provide students time to prepare for
final exams. Faculty may not assign deadlines for papers or other assignments during the reading days. Faculty may not
reschedule final exams during the reading days.
4. Faculty may not give tests and exams during the last week of classes (i.e. the final five days when classes meet). Faculty
should instead give those exams during the final exam period or during the penultimate week of class. Faculty may continue to
give small quizzes, such as weekly vocabulary or chapter quizzes, during the final week of classes when those assessments
are given periodically throughout the semester. Faculty may also give lab exams during the final week of class.
5. Faculty may use the entire 2.5 hour time slot scheduled for their final exam or some portion of that time according to their
needs. If faculty plan to use less than 2.5 hours for the final examination, it is suggested that this is communicated with
students in advance.
6. Exemptions to this policy must be approved at least one semester in advance by the Curriculum, Assessment, and
Educational Policy Committee.
APPROVED: CURRICULUM, ASSESSMENT, AND EDUCATIONAL POLICY COMMITTEE, FEBRUARY 22, 2019
GRADING SYSTEM
GRADES
A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, and S are passing grades for which credit is awarded; F and U indicate failure or unsatisfactory and
carry no credit; I (Incomplete) indicates that the student has not completed all the work for a course; IF and IU indicate failure to finish
an Incomplete; IP indicates work in progress; W indicates withdrawal without penalty; WF indicates withdrawal failing; and WU indicates
unsatisfactory withdrawal.
QUALITY POINTS
For each semester hour of credit, quality points are computed as follows:
A = 4.0
A- = 3.7
B+ = 3.3
B = 3.0
B- = 2.7
C+ = 2.3
C = 2.0
C- = 1.7
D+ = 1.3
D = 1.0
F = 0.0
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 445
The grades of S, U, IU, and WU are given only for courses taken on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis (see Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory
Option). S carries academic credit but no quality points; U or IU carries neither academic credit nor quality points. Neither W, WU, S,
nor U grades count in computing a student’s grade-point average. The grades of IF and WF are counted as F in computing a student’s
grade-point average.
The course instructor determines the scale and criteria for grading in individual courses. Students should not assume that all professors
use identical grading scales or standards. Instructors should communicate their standards and systems as clearly as possible in their
course syllabi. Students should request clarification when necessary. The ultimate arbitrator of a grade is the relevant academic
department or program.
When appropriate, faculty may correct a grade within one year of assigning it. After one year has passed, grade changes require the
approval of the Senior Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education who may confer with the Committee on Academic Standards as
needed.
APPROVED: CURRICULUM, ASSESSMENT, AND EDUCATIONAL POLICY COMMITTEE, FEBRUARY 19, 2020
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Subject to the limitations and qualifications stated elsewhere in this catalog, requirements for Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science
degrees are as follows:

HONOR CODE
Undergraduate Academic Honor Code of Emory University
Procedures of the Undergraduate Academic Honor Code
Appendices of the Undergraduate Academic Honor Code
THE UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC HONOR CODE OF EMORY COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES,
GOIZUETA BUSINESS SCHOOL, AND OXFORD COLLEGE
I. PREAMBLE
The Undergraduate Academic Honor Code of Emory College of Arts and Sciences, Goizueta Business School, and Oxford College
(“Honor Code”) is a commitment to our integrity and ethical principles as a community of students and scholars. The student body
instituted the Honor System a century ago, and undergraduate students continue to have a fundamental role in supporting the Honor
Code and addressing violations. Emory University’s mission “to create, preserve, teach, and apply knowledge in the service of
humanity” only advances when the members of the community practice the highest standards of integrity and speak out when students
violate the Honor Code.
The Honor Code applies to any action or inaction that fails to meet the communal expectations of academic integrity. Students should
strive to excel in their academic pursuits in a just way with honesty and fairness in mind and avoid all instances of cheating, lying,
plagiarizing, or engaging in other acts that violate the Honor Code. Such violations undermine both the individual pursuit of knowledge
and the collective trust of the Emory community.
II. Honor Pledge
As a reminder of the commitment to academic integrity that everyone in the Emory University community has made, each student will
sign the following Honor Pledge on examinations and major academic assessments, unless exempted by the faculty:
I PLEDGE TO ABIDE BY THE EMORY HONOR CODE IN ALL ACADEMIC WORK AND AVOID ANY ACTION THAT WOULD
PROVIDE AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.
Failure to sign the Honor Code pledge is neither an offence against the Honor Code nor a defense to an alleged Honor Code violation
III. Jurisdiction and Honor Code Procedures
All students enrolled in any course or program at Emory University are expected to abide by the Honor Code of every school in which
they enroll in courses. This Undergraduate Academic Honor Code published here will be enforced by the Honor Councils of Emory
College of Arts & Sciences, Goizueta School of Business, and Oxford College for cases of academic misconduct that occur in any
course within their respective schools, regardless of the degree program in which the student is enrolled.
The procedures for resolving reports of Honor Code violations are described in the PROCEDURES OF THE UNDERGRADUATE
ACADEMIC HONOR CODE OF EMORY COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES, GOIZUETA SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, AND
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 447
OXFORD COLLEGE (“PROCEDURES OF THE UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC HONOR CODE”) and are administered by the
Honor Councils within their respective schools.
IV. Reporting Cases
Apathy or acquiescence in the presence of academic misconduct is not a neutral act. It undermines the bonds of trust and honesty
among members of the Emory community, as well as between the Emory community and those who depend on our knowledge and
integrity. All members of the Emory University communitystudents, faculty, and staffshare the responsibility and authority to
challenge and report acts of apparent academic misconduct. Any member of the Emory University community who has witnessed an
apparent act of academic misconduct or has information that could reasonably lead to the conclusion that such an act may have
occurred or has been attempted, is responsible for promptly notifying the course instructor, a member of the Honor Council, the Honor
Code administrator, or the dean.
V. Academic Misconduct
Academic misconduct is a violation of the Honor Code and is generally defined as any action or inaction that is offensive to the integrity
and honesty of the members of the academic community. In addition to the violations enumerated in this article, instructors at Emory
University have reasonable discretion to establish specific standards and policies as related to their courses and assignments. Such
additional standards and policies should be clearly articulated in the syllabus, in the assignment, or otherwise conveyed as an
expectation by the instructor. It is the responsibility of each student to understand the policies established in the Honor Code, syllabi,
and assignments, and act accordingly.
Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to, the following actions:
CHEATING
1. Seeking, using, giving, or obtaining unauthorized assistance or information in any academic assignment or examination
2. Seeking, using, giving, or obtaining information about the content or conduct of an examination, knowing that the release of
such information has not been authorized
3. Violating the electronic device policy as described in the Honor Code
4. Violating the testing policy as described in the Honor Code
PLAGIARIZING
1. Plagiarizing, whether intentionally or unintentionally, in any assignment (see Appendix 1: Crediting the Work and Ideas of
Others: Use of Sources)
2. Submitting duplicate material, or using the same intellectual material in part or in whole more than once without express, prior
permission from every instructor for whom the original submission was, is, or would be made, at any educational institution or
for any publication (electronic, academic, or otherwise)
LYING AND DISHONESTY
1. Intentionally giving false information to professors, instructors, or university officials for the purpose of gaining academic
advantage
2. Intentionally falsifying or fabricating any information or citation in any examination, assignment, or academic exercise
3. Falsifying, altering, or fabricating academic records, forms, or correspondence, including, but not limited to, transcripts,
withdrawal forms, degree applications, or letters of recommendation, whether the documents/information are submitted within
Emory University or to a third party
4. Seeking to gain or to provide an unfair advantage during course registration
VIOLATING COMMUNITY STANDARDS
1. Intentionally sabotaging the academic work of another student
2. Intentionally helping or attempting to help another person to violate any provision of this Honor Code or the academic integrity
policy at another educational institution
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 448
3. Disseminating any course materials, including recordings of the class, without the permission of the instructor
4. Committing any action or inaction which is offensive to the integrity and honesty of the members of the academic community
VIOLATING STANDARDS IN THE HONOR CODE PROCESS
1. Intentionally giving false testimony or evidence in any Honor Council hearing or refusing to testify or give evidence when
requested by the Honor Council
2. Harassing, threatening, coercing, or bribing witnesses involved in any Honor Code case
3. Obstructing an Honor Code investigation
4. Breaching any duties prescribed by this Honor Code, including breaching the confidentiality of the Honor Code process (see
PROCEDURES OF THE UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC HONOR CODE, Article IX: Confidentiality)
ELECTRONIC DEVICE POLICY
1. The use of a cell phone, smartphone, tablet, laptop, smartwatch, headphones, or similar device for any reason during times of
examination (broadly defined here as quizzes, tests, midterm and final exams, or similar assignments or evaluations) is
prohibited. Instructors are entitled to make exceptions to allow the use of an electronic device for any examination. In the
absence of explicit permission to use such a device, it is assumed that such devices are not permitted.
If a student is found using an electronic device during an examination, the instructor should inform the student of the issue and
may ask the student to store the device until the completion of the examination. The instructor should allow the student to
complete the examination before reporting the incident to the Honor Council.
TESTING POLICY
1. Instructors are entitled to establish reasonable policies to protect the security and integrity of their examinations (broadly
defined here as quizzes, tests, midterm and final exams, or similar assignments or evaluations). These policies may include,
but are not limited, to: prohibitions against large bags, coats, hats, notebooks, electronic devices, or course materials;
requirements to place materials unrelated to the examination outside or at the front of the classroom; assigning seats to
students; moving students during an examination; requiring a student to stop writing when time is called; and prohibiting the
replication of examination materials or their removal from the testing environment. Any additional policies should be outlined in
the syllabus and/or written instructions for the examination.
If a student fails to comply with the stated policies of the examination prior to its start, the instructor may withhold the
examination until the student complies with the testing policies (the instructor will not be compelled to provide additional time
for the completion of the examination). If a student fails to comply with or violates the stated policies of the examination after it
has begun, the instructor may take reasonable steps to secure the integrity of the examination but should allow the student to
complete the examination before reporting the incident to the Honor Council.
The Honor Code includes an appendix (Appendix 2: Common Forms of Misconduct) that provides information about common forms of
academic misconduct. These examples are instructive and not exhaustive. The undergraduate Honor Councils will update the appendix
on a regular basis. As the purpose of the appendix is to provide information and instruction about academic integrity, it may be revised
without amendment.
VI. Sanctions for Academic Misconduct
When the Honor Council has determined that a violation of the Honor Code has occurred, the following is a non-exhaustive list of
potential sanctions that may be imposed:
1. An educational program
2. A verbal warning
3. Honor Code probation for a specified period with a reportable record. Honor Code probation will signify that the student is not
in good academic standing with the University during the period of probation.
4. Partial or no credit on the examination, evaluation, or assignment
5. Failure of the course
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 449
6. Any other penalty to the student’s grade in the course
7. Suspension from the undergraduate program and/or Emory University for a specified period of time
8. Dismissal from the undergraduate program
9. Permanent expulsion from Emory University
10. Revocation of an Emory University degree that has been previously awarded
11. Such combination of sanctions or a sanction different from those listed above that may be appropriate under the
circumstances
VII. Rights of Students
Undergraduate students have several rights in the Honor Code process.
1. Students are presumed not to have violated the Honor Code unless it has been determined that they are responsible in the
Honor Code process.
2. Students have a right to the appropriate level of confidentiality in the Honor Code process, though this right will not restrict
communication to officials of the University where knowledge is necessary in the performance of the officials' duties, nor will it
restrict disclosure required by law.
3. Students have a right to a fair and impartial process.
4. Students have a right to request a full hearing of the Honor Council that includes at least one student representative from their
own school at Emory University.
5. Students have a right to make an opening and closing statement and to actively participate in any Honor Council hearing,
though they may not directly question witnesses.
6. Students have a right to include an advisor in the Honor Code process so long as that advisor is not involved as a reporting
party, reported student, or witness in the case. The advisor must be a current undergraduate student at Emory University; a
current faculty or staff member in Emory College of Arts and Sciences, Goizueta Business School, or Oxford College; or a
current staff member in Campus Life. No student, faculty, or staff member will be required to serve as a student’s advisor.
7. Students may waive any of these rights if they so choose.
VIII. Amendment of the Honor Code
The Honor Code may be amended with a vote of the students or designated student governance body and the faculty or designated
faculty governance body of Emory College of Arts and Sciences, Goizueta Business School, and Oxford College. These governance
bodies include the following:
1. Emory College of Arts and Sciences: 1) the general student body and 2) the Emory College Curriculum, Assessment, and
Educational Policy Committee
2. Goizueta Business School: 1) the general student body and 2) the faculty body
3. Oxford College: 1) the general student body and 2) the faculty body
A majority of those voting in the respective bodies of two of the three schools or programs are required to pass changes. In the event
that one of the undergraduate schools or programs does not approve the changes, the dean of the school may give approval for the
school to adopt the new Honor Code or discontinue the school’s participation in the Honor Code and institute a different academic
integrity policy.
The PROCEDURES OF THE UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC HONOR CODE may be amended through the separate process
described in Article IX of that document.
APPROVED BY EMORY COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES ON APRIL 20, 2022, BY GOIZUETA SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
ON JUNE 15, 2022, AND BY OXFORD COLLEGE ON APRIL 22, 2022.
THE UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC HONOR CODE OF EMORY COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES, GOIZUETA SCHOOL
OF BUSINESS, AND OXFORD COLLEGE TAKES EFFECT ON AUGUST 24, 2022.. THIS VERSION OF THE HONOR CODE
SUPERSEDES ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS.
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 450
PROCEDURES OF THE UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC HONOR CODE OF EMORY COLLEGE OF ARTS
AND SCIENCES, GOIZUETA SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, AND OXFORD COLLEGE
I. The Undergraduate Academic Honor Code
All students enrolled in any course or program at Emory University are expected to abide by the Honor Code of every school in which
they enroll in courses. The UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC HONOR CODE OF EMORY COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES,
GOIZUETA BUSINESS SCHOOL, AND OXFORD COLLEGE (“Honor Code”) will be enforced by the Honor Councils of Emory
College of Arts & Sciences, Goizueta School of Business, and Oxford College for cases of academic misconduct that occur in any
course within their respective schools, regardless of the degree program in which the student is enrolled.
The procedures for resolving reports of Honor Code violations are described in these PROCEDURES OF THE UNDERGRADUATE
ACADEMIC HONOR CODE OF EMORY COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES, GOIZUETA SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, AND
OXFORD COLLEGE (“Procedures”) and are administered by the Honor Councils within their respective schools.
As detailed below, each undergraduate school or program appoints a group of students and faculty known as the Honor Council. The
Honor Council administers the Honor Code according to the PROCEDURES OF THE UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC HONOR
CODE OF EMORY COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES, GOIZUETA SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, AND OXFORD COLLEGE and
in consultation with Honor Code administrators in the schools. The Honor Council has the duty of acting as a fact-finding body for
determining whether students are responsible for Honor Code violations. The Honor Council has jurisdiction over cases of academic
misconduct that occur in any course within its school, regardless of the degree program in which the student is enrolled.
II. Membership in the Honor Council and Appeal Panel
A. Composition of the Honor Council and Appeal Panel
Each school or program will appoint a sufficient number of students enrolled in its own school to serve on its Honor Council and Appeal
Panel. The Honor Council and Appeal Panel must include undergraduate students, but those schools with graduate programs may
permit graduate students to participate on the Honor Council and Appeal Panel. The Honor Code administrator will determine the
number of student members on the Honor Council and Appeal Panel, the eligibility criteria for serving, and the selection process.
The dean will appoint a sufficient number of faculty to serve as faculty members of the Honor Council and Appeal Panel. Faculty Honor
Council members assist student Honor Council members in investigations and participate as voting members in hearings of the Honor
Council and meetings of the Appeal Panel.
B. Selection of the Honor Council and Appeal Panel
The Honor Code administrator in each school has the authority to determine the eligibility requirements for Honor Council and Appeal
Panel members, the process for selecting members, the number of members, and the duration of membership.
C.Honor Council and Appeal Panel Membership Enrollment Qualifications
Student membership on the Honor Council and Appeal Panel is ordinarily limited to students currently enrolled in the school’s program,
though members of the Honor Council and Appeal Panel may serve during the summer term even if they are not enrolled in summer
classes. Additionally, student members on the Honor Council and Appeal Panel who graduate in the spring may continue to serve
through the summer following their graduation. Student members from the Honor Council and Appeal Panel of one school may serve in
the process in another undergraduate school or program on a temporary basis with the approval of the relevant deans.
D. Chair
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 451
The dean may appoint a student or a faculty member to serve as chair of the Honor Council. The chair may perform duties to assist the
Honor Code administrator in the operation and organization of the Honor Council.
E. Removal of Members
The dean may temporarily or permanently remove any member of the Honor Council or Appeal Panel who:
compromises the integrity of the Honor Code process;
fails to meet the duties of the position;
is unable to participate objectively and without bias; or,
is reported for an Honor Code violation or other disciplinary infraction at the University.
If the Honor Council member wishes to contest this temporary or permanent removal, they must submit a written appeal of the decision
to the Appeal Panel within seven days of receiving the dean’s decision. The Appeal Panel will review the circumstances that led to the
removal, and by majority vote, make a final, non-appealable decision to uphold, modify, or overturn the dean’s decision.
III. Reporting Cases
1. Duty to Report
It is the responsibility of every member of the faculty, staff, and student body to cooperate in supporting the honor system and
upholding the Honor Code. Any member of the Emory University community who has witnessed an apparent act of academic
misconduct or has information that could reasonably lead to the conclusion that such an act may have occurred or has been
attempted, is responsible for promptly notifying the course instructor, a member of the Honor Council, the Honor Code
administrator, or the dean.
A course instructor may address a student about a possible violation before making a report to the Honor Council for the
purpose of clarifying a fact or detail that would remove the suspicion of misconduct. If the suspicion remains after the instructor
addresses the student, then the instructor must report the incident to the Honor Council.
2. Preliminary Review of Alleged Academic Misconduct by the Dean or Their Designee
Upon preliminary review, the dean may dismiss an allegation of academic misconduct without referring it for further
investigation for one of three reasons:
The conduct does not appear to constitute academic misconduct.
There is insufficient evidence to pursue an investigation.
The dean deems the suspected offense trivial in nature.
If the dean determines that the allegation is not ripe for dismissal, the dean shall refer the matter to the Honor Council, as
discussed below.
IV. Procedural Overview and Resolution Option
A. Overview
The Honor Council may resolve a report of a violation in one of three ways, depending on the circumstances of the case. The overview
below provides students with a brief summary of the resolution options. Detailed procedures for each resolution process appear in the
sections dedicated to the informal resolution meetings, the full investigation and hearing process, and administrative hearings.
1. Informal Resolution
After being notified of an alleged Honor Code violation, a reported student may choose to accept responsibility and proceed to
an informal resolution meeting instead of a full investigation and hearing. The reported student will then meet with one student
Honor Council member and one faculty Honor Council member or an Honor Code administrator to discuss the circumstances
of the violation and its impact on the student and the community. The reporting faculty may also participate in the meeting. The
informal resolution meeting serves to assist the student in reaffirming and recommitting to the values of the Honor Code and
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 452
academic integrity, to learn from the incident, and to provide context to the Honor Council as it recommends sanctions to the
dean and/or the reporting faculty.
2. Investigation and Full Hearing
The Honor Council uses an investigation and full hearing process to gather the facts of a case and determine whether a
student is responsible for an alleged violation of the Honor Code. This process is the standard way for resolving a report of a
violation, unless the student chooses to go through informal resolution, or the case meets the special circumstances required
for an administrative hearing.
An investigative team meets with the reporting faculty, any witnesses, and the reported student to gather information and
evidence related to the case. At the conclusion of the investigation, the investigative team may recommend to the dean that
the case be dismissed, or the investigative team may refer the case to the Honor Council for a full hearing. At a hearing, a
panel of at least five members reviews evidence and hears statements from all parties, in accordance with the procedures set
forth below. The panel then votes to determine whether the reported student is responsible for the violation, and if so, the
panel recommends sanctions to the dean.
3. Administrative Hearing
At the discretion of the dean and upon agreement with the reported student, the facts of the case may dictate that it be
handled through an administrative hearing, typically when the Honor Council is not in session or when there is unusual
urgency to resolve a case. An administrative hearing combines the investigation process and hearing process into a single
meeting to investigate the facts of a case and determine whether a student is responsible for an alleged violation. When a
reported student agrees to use the administrative hearing option, the reporting faculty member will submit all evidence and a
written statement directly to the Honor Council. The Honor Council will make the evidence and written statement available to
the reported student prior to the hearing. A hearing board of three members will then convene to hear the case, determine
responsibility, and, if necessary, recommend sanctions to the dean.
V. Procedures and Process - All Resolution Options
A. Notice of Charge(s)
After the Honor Council receives a report of a suspected violation, the reported student will be informed in writing of the charge,
including the name of the course and the assignment, and will be referred to the HONOR CODE and PROCEDURES. The Notice of
Charge(s) will include information about the available resolution options.
B. Advisors to Reported Students
1. Permitted Advisors
Reported students have the right to select an advisor who meets the eligibility requirements, so long as that advisor is not
involved as a reporting party, reported student, or witness in the case.
Advisors must be one of the following: a current undergraduate student at Emory University; a current faculty or staff member
in Emory College of Arts and Sciences, Goizueta Business School, or Oxford College; or a current staff member in Campus
Life. No student, faculty, or staff member will be required to serve as a student’s advisor.
Students may select an advisor of their own choosing, request that the Honor Council provide an advisor, or decline to have
an advisor.
2. Advisor Role
The role of the advisor is to provide advice and support to the reported student throughout their case. The advisor is not a
direct advocate for the reported student, and therefore, may not address the Honor Council directly on the student’s behalf
during meetings and hearings; nor may the advisor directly question witnesses. Students may request to speak to their advisor
privately during any meeting or hearing of the Honor Council to confer about the case. Advisors who do not abide by these
stipulations may be dismissed from the meeting or hearing. While the process will attempt to schedule all meetings and
hearings at a time convenient for both the reported student and their advisor, meetings and hearings will not be delayed due to
the unavailability of the advisor.
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 453
C. Attending Meetings of the Honor Council
Attendance at Honor Council investigation meetings, hearings, and informal resolution meetings is limited to following individuals:
student members of the Honor Council;
faculty members of the Honor Council;
staff or administrators participating on informal resolution meetings or administrative hearing panels;
the reporting party;
the reported student and their advisor; and
any witnesses as permitted by the Honor Council.
No other individuals are permitted to attend investigation meetings, hearings, and informal resolution meetings.
D. Evidence
Formal rules of evidence do not apply to Honor Council proceedings. The Honor Council will collect relevant evidence and present it to
the reported student according to the procedures dictated by the resolution method. The Honor Council may collect evidence from the
reporting party, the reported student, any witnesses, and any other individual or office that has relevant information. Reported students
may also submit evidence directly to the Honor Council for consideration. Reported students will be able to review evidence prior to an
informal resolution meeting, full hearing, or administrative hearing, but because of considerations around exam and assignment
security, some materials may be available only for review with an Honor Council member or administrator present. Only evidence
presented at the Honor Council informal resolution meetings, full hearings, or administrative hearings will be considered in reaching a
decision.
E. Witnesses
The Honor Council may call on witnesses or use witness statements for investigations, hearings, and informal resolution meetings. A
witness may include any individual believed to have knowledge relevant to the reported violation, but the Honor Council will not
consider character witnesses.
Witnesses will testify without oath, but with the understanding of university policies applicable to their participation. In-person witness
testimony is preferred, but the Honor Council at its discretion may allow written statements to be submitted by a witness.
F. Honor Council Proceedings
Honor Council hearings and informal resolution meetings will be fair and impartial. On a case-by-case basis, the Honor Council has
broad discretion to consider and weigh information it deems relevant in its proceedings, in the form of documents, witness testimony or
statements, and other forms of information. Neither reported students nor their advisors may cross-examine witnesses at any stage of
the process. Rather, the reported student may request that the Honor Council ask specific questions of the reporting party and any
witness. The Honor Council has discretion to determine whether the question is relevant and should be asked, to reframe the question
as deemed appropriate, or to decline to ask the question based on irrelevance.
The student and faculty members of the Honor Council may attend hearings and informal resolution meetings either as deliberating
members or as silent observers for the purposes of training.
G. Standard of Proof, Finding of Responsibility, and Sanctions
For a finding of an Honor Code violation, the Honor Council must determine by a unanimous vote of the hearing board that there is
clear and convincing evidence of a violation. “Clear and convincing” evidence means that a particular fact or set of facts is substantially
more likely to be true than not to be true. If the reported student is found responsible in a hearing or accepts responsibility in an informal
resolution meeting, the Honor Council will recommend any sanctions by a majority vote.
H. Summary Report, Decision, and Notification of Outcome
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 454
After any Honor Council informal resolution meeting, full hearing, or administrative hearing, the Honor Council will promptly prepare a
summary of the hearing or meeting. This summary will report information that the Honor Council considered in reaching its findings and
will be submitted to the dean with the accompanying recommendation and all evidence considered by the Honor Council.
The dean may impose the recommended sanction or sanctions of greater or lesser severity. Absent extenuating circumstances, the
dean must notify the student in writing of the decision within ten business days.
VI. Procedures and Process Specific to Resolution Route
A. Informal Resolution Meetings
1. Circumstances for Offering an Informal Resolution Meeting
After receiving the Notice of Charge(s), a student may choose to accept responsibility for the reported violation and request an
informal resolution meeting. The student will sign an informal resolution meeting agreement, attesting that they accept
responsibility for the violation, acknowledging that a full investigation and hearing of the case will not take place, and
confirming that they cannot appeal the finding of responsibility but may appeal any sanctions.
At any point prior to making a final decision, the Honor Council may refer the reported student to the investigation and full
hearing process if it becomes necessary to conduct an investigation or if the Honor Council finds that the student is not being
fully honest and transparent in their admission of responsibility.
If a case involves multiple students, and any of the reported students do not wish to pursue an informal resolution meeting, the
case will normally be referred to the investigation and full hearing process, unless the nature of the case allows the Honor
Council to adjudicate each student’s report separately.
2. Procedures
The informal resolution meeting will be conducted by one student Honor Council member and one faculty Honor Council
member or an Honor Code administrator.
The reported student will have the opportunity to review any evidence submitted by the reporting faculty member, including
any written statements collected from the reporting faculty or witnesses. The Honor Council may, but is not required to, invite
the reporting faculty member to participate in the informal resolution meeting. If the reporting faculty member attends, the
reported student must be given an opportunity to speak in private with the Honor Council for some portion of the meeting to
address any personal or sensitive concerns if they so choose.
As the reported student has accepted responsibility for the violation, the informal resolution meeting will be an opportunity to
discuss the circumstances that led to the violation and to consider its impact on the student and the academic community.
3. After the meeting with the reported student, the Honor Council will deliberate in private and recommend sanctions to the
reporting faculty member and the dean. The dean may impose any sanctions apart from the penalty to the student’s grade.
The reporting faculty may impose any sanction related to the grade, or, defer this decision to the dean.
B.Investigation and Full Hearing Process
1. Investigation
If after the dean’s preliminary review, the dean refers a report of an alleged violation to the Honor Council for an investigation,
two individuals will be assigned to investigate the case. The investigative team will include at least one undergraduate student
Honor Council member. The second member of the investigative team may be an undergraduate or graduate Honor Council
member or a faculty Honor Council member.
The investigators will interview the reporting faculty member and the reported student(s) separately, may interview other
potential witnesses, and will review any available evidence they deem relevant. The reported student may suggest the names
of witnesses who can provide information or additional relevant evidence.
2. Referral
At the conclusion of the investigation, the investigators will determine whether there is a reasonable suspicion of an Honor
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 455
Code violation. A reasonable suspicion is a justifiable suspicion that it is plausible that an Honor Code violation occurred
based on the specific circumstances and evidence of the case. If the investigators find a reasonable suspicion, they will refer
the case to a hearing and submit any relevant evidence they gathered to the Honor Council.
If the investigators find there is no reasonable suspicion of an Honor Code violation, they will recommend to the dean that the
case be dismissed. The investigators will promptly submit to the dean a report about the investigation and the rationale for the
dismissal. If the dean accepts the recommendation to dismiss the case, the dean will notify the student in writing of the
decision normally within ten business days. If the dean does not accept the recommendation to dismiss the case, the Honor
Council will schedule a hearing according to the procedures outlined below.
3. Full Hearing Notification
When a decision is made to refer a case for a full hearing, the Honor Council will work with all parties to schedule the full
hearing promptly and will notify the reported student of the date and time of the hearing. The reported student must be given
notice of the hearing details at least twenty-four hours in advance of the hearing. The reported student is responsible for
notifying their advisor of the date and time of the hearing.
4. Full Hearing Board
Hearing boards will have five voting members. Hearing boards must include at least two undergraduate students, and at least
one must come from the undergraduate school or program in which the reported violation took place. Hearing boards must
also include at least one faculty member participating as a voting member.
Each school may determine whether the chair of the hearing board is a voting member or an additional non-voting member.
Each school may also determine whether to include an additional non-voting member as a note-taker.
5. Procedures for Full Hearings
At a full hearing, the chair will call the hearing to order and inform the reported student of their rights. The investigator may
make a brief report about the factual findings of the investigation and discuss the strength or weakness of any evidence
involved. The reporting faculty member and any witnesses will separately make a statement about the alleged violation and
respond to any questions from the hearing board while the reported student is present. The reported student will then make a
statement and respond to any questions from the hearing board privately; the reporting faculty member, witnesses, and other
reported students are not permitted to listen to this testimony. The Honor Council may recall any party for additional questions,
or ask additional questions of the investigator. The reported student will then have the right to make a closing statement. At the
discretion of the hearing board, any party to the case who is unable to participate in the hearing may provide a written
statement that will be reviewed by the hearing board.
At the conclusion of all testimony, the hearing board will convene to deliberate privately. At any point during the deliberations,
the hearing board may recall any parties or the investigator to ask additional questions before returning to their private
deliberation. The Honor Council will first determine if the student is responsible for the violation before recommending any
sanctions, if necessary. Only evidence presented to the hearing board will be considered in reaching a decision.
If the Honor Council reaches a unanimous decision that a student is responsible for a violation, the hearing board will receive
access to the reported student’s record of any prior Honor Code violations. The hearing board will consider this information as
it determines the recommended sanctions.
The chair may suspend the hearing at any point to provide additional time to collect evidence, to resolve questions related to
the case, to clarify answers to procedural questions, or to provide sufficient additional time for the testimony and deliberation. If
the hearing is suspended, the chair will reconvene the meeting within ten business days, absent extenuating circumstances.
C. Administrative Hearing Process
1. Circumstances for Offering an Administrative Hearing
The dean has the discretion to offer any reported student an administrative hearing before a special three-person panel
(“Administrative Hearing Board”) to resolve their case. Ordinarily, the administrative hearing is offered for cases when there is
unusual urgency to resolve the case or when the Honor Council is not in session.
The reported student has the right to accept the administrative hearing or have their case heard according to the procedures of
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 456
the investigation and full hearing process. The use of an administrative hearing does not require the student to accept
responsibility for a violation, and the reported student retains the right to appeal the finding of responsibility and any sanctions.
Before attending an administrative hearing, the reported student will sign the administrative hearing agreement acknowledging
that an investigation and full hearing will not take place.
If the reported student accepts the opportunity for an administrative hearing, the Honor Council will then collect any evidence
and a written statement from the reporting party and present these to the reported student at least twenty-four hours prior to
the hearing. The reported student will appear before the Administrative Hearing Board who will consider all available evidence
and make a decision about the case.
2. Administrative Hearing Board
The Administrative Hearing Board will consist of three members:
(1) an undergraduate student Honor Council member;
(2) a faculty Honor Council member or an Honor Code administrator;
(3) a the third member who may be a student Honor Council member, a faculty Honor Council member, or an Honor Code
administrator.
The Honor Code administrator will serve as chair of the Administrative Hearing Board for hearings that they attend, or will
designate one of the Administrative Hearing Board members to serve as chair for hearings that they do not attend.
3. Procedures for Administrative Hearings
At an administrative hearing, the chair will call the hearing to order and inform the reported student of their rights. The
reporting faculty member and any witnesses will separately make a statement about the alleged violation and respond to any
questions from the hearing board while the reported student is present. The reported student will then make a statement and
respond to any questions from the hearing board privately; the reporting faculty member, witnesses, and other reported
students are not permitted to listen to this testimony. The Honor Council may recall any party for additional questions, and the
reported student will then have the right to make a closing statement. At the discretion of the Administrative Hearing Board,
any party to the case who is unable to participate in the hearing may provide a written statement that will be reviewed by the
Administrative Hearing Board.
At the conclusion of all testimony, the Administrative Hearing Board will convene to deliberate privately. At any point during the
deliberations, the hearing board may recall any parties to ask additional questions before returning to their private deliberation.
The Honor Council will first determine if the student is responsible for the violation before recommending any sanctions if
necessary. Only evidence presented to the hearing board will be considered in reaching a decision.
If the Honor Council reaches a unanimous decision that a student is responsible for a violation, the hearing board will receive
access to the reported student’s record of any prior Honor Code violations. The hearing board will consider this information as
it determines the recommended sanctions.
The chair may suspend the hearing at any point to provide additional time to collect evidence, to resolve questions related to
the case, to clarify answers to procedural questions, or to provide sufficient additional time for the testimony and deliberation. If
the hearing is suspended, the chair will reconvene the meeting within ten business days, absent extenuating circumstances.
VII. Appeals - Procedures and Process
A. Rights and Grounds for Appeals
Students whose cases are resolved through the full hearing or administrative hearing process may choose to appeal the finding of
responsibility and/or the sanctions. Students whose cases are resolved through the informal resolution meeting may appeal the
sanctions only.
Students must submit their appeal to the dean within ten business days of receiving the dean’s written decision. The only grounds for
submitting an appeal are as follows:
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 457
(a) The Honor Council did not administer the procedures according to its published policies, and it is likely these errors could have
substantially altered the decision of the Honor Council.
(b) The sanctions were disproportionate to the circumstances of the violation.
(c) There is new evidence, which could not have been reasonably discovered prior to the hearing, and it likely would have substantially
altered the decision of the Honor Council.
B. Appeal Panel and Process
Upon receipt of an appeal, the dean, or their designee, will convene an appeal panel of two undergraduate students and two faculty
members, who have had no prior involvement in the case or the underlying facts.
The Appeal Panel will review the reported student’s appeal letter, the evidence, any reports from the investigation, hearing, or informal
resolution meeting, and any other materials presented in the case. The Appeal Panel may seek clarification of points raised in the
hearing or the appeal by conferring with members of the Honor Council or by collecting additional evidence if needed. After reviewing
the appeal, the members of the Appeal Panel will make a recommendation to the dean to:
(a) deny the appeal and affirm the finding of responsibility and sanctions;
(b) affirm the finding of responsibility but modify the sanctions in any way the panel deems fit; or,
(c) remand the case to the Honor Council for a new hearing according to the procedures for a rehearing.
After conferring with the Appeal Panel, the dean will make a final decision and promptly notify the reported student of the decision in
writing normally within ten business days.
C. Procedures for a Rehearing
If the dean determines that the case should be remanded to the Honor Council, a rehearing will be scheduled. The rehearing will only
include members of the Honor Council who have had no prior involvement in the case. The rehearing will follow all the procedures of a
full hearing with one exception: The dean will ask one member of the Appeal Panel to attend the hearing as a non-voting member. The
Appeal Panel member will ensure that the concerns of the Appeal Panel are addressed at the rehearing; they may participate in the
deliberation but may not vote on the question of whether the Honor Code was violated. All evidence available at the original hearing will
be available at the rehearing, including reporting parties and witnesses, unless the basis for the rehearing calls for the exclusion of any
evidence. If any of the reporting parties or witnesses are unavailable, the Honor Council may accept written statements in their
absence.
VIII. Special Provisions
A. Reported Student Participation in the Process
It is expected that students reported for a possible Honor Code violation will participate fully in the process. If a reported student fails to
respond to messages of the Honor Council in a timely manner or is absent from any investigative meetings or hearings without good
cause, the Honor Council may investigate and/or hear the case in the student’s absence.
B. Cases Involving Multiple Students
For cases in which multiple students are suspected of the same violation or a related violation, the dean will decide whether a single
collective hearing for all reported students or an individual hearing for each reported student is appropriate.
If the Honor Council holds a single hearing for all students involved, each student will have the right to hear the testimony of any
witnesses other than those students reported as part of the same case. If the Honor Council holds individual hearings for each student
involved, the Honor Council may require the reported students to appear as witnesses at the individual hearings.
C. Cases Involving Multiple Charges Against the Same Student
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 458
For cases in which one student is charged with multiple violations of the Honor Code in a single course, the Honor Council may hold a
single hearing to consider all charges. For cases in which one student is suspected of violations in multiple courses, the Honor Council
will normally hold separate hearings to consider charges in each course. However, the reported student may request that all charges be
resolved at a single hearing. The dean has the discretion to grant or deny the request.
D. Introducing Additional Charges during Honor Code Investigations and Hearings
The Honor Council may add, remove, or modify charges against a reported student at any point in the process, provided that the
student is notified of the changes and has an opportunity to respond to the new charges. This provision includes the addition of charges
during an Honor Council hearing when the Honor Council suspects that a reported student has deliberately misrepresented information
while testifying, has provided false evidence, or has withheld evidence.
In addition, if the Honor Council discovers information that may violate other Emory policies, the Honor Council may refer those matters
to the student conduct or disciplinary offices that have jurisdiction over such conduct.
E. Course Enrollment and Grading Basis
A student may not change the grading basis for a course (i.e. switch between a letter grade and satisfactory/unsatisfactory) or withdraw
from a course in which an Honor Council investigation is pending. If a student makes such a change to their enrollment, and it is later
determined that the student’s work was in violation of the Honor Code, the dean may restore the student’s original grading basis,
reinstate the student in the course, or impose a grade of F, WF, U, or WU upon the recommendation of the Honor Council or Appeal
Panel.
F. Sanctions Involving Students Who Have Cross-Registered
If a student is found responsible for an Honor Code violation in a course where they have cross-registered in a different school, the
Honor Council may recommend appropriate sanctions. If the sanction involves suspension, dismissal from the program, permanent
expulsion from Emory University, or revocation of an Emory University degree that has been previously awarded, the recommendation
will be forwarded to the dean of the school in which the student is primarily enrolled. The dean of the school in which the student is
primarily enrolled will make a decision about the sanction of the case. This provision applies to decisions of the Honor Council and of
the Appeal Board.
G. Modifications to Procedures
The procedures set forth in the PROCEDURES OF THE UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC HONOR CODE may be modified at the
discretion of the dean in response to any exigencies. These changes normally include modifications to the size or composition of
investigation teams and hearing panels, but may include modifications to any of the processes set forth above. The reported student
will be given notice of any such modification and has the right to accept any modifications or to reject the modifications and resolve the
case according to the procedures outlined above.
H. Faculty Compliance
Faculty members may not impose penalties or sanctions that are contrary to the final decision of the Honor Council or Appeal Panel.
IX. Miscellaneous
A. Confidentiality
All proceedings under the Honor Code are confidential to the extent practicable, and those participating in the proceedings have a duty
to keep information related to it confidential. Breaches of confidentiality are addressed through the Honor Code, any applicable conduct
codes, or disciplinary action taken against employees for breaches of university policy. Nothing in this paragraph will restrict
communication to officials of the university where knowledge is necessary in the performance of the officials' duties, nor will it restrict
disclosure required by law.
B. Dean and Designees
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 459
Wherever "dean" appears in the HONOR CODE or PROCEDURES, it refers to the dean of the school that has responsibility for
adjudicating the case, and will include any person designated by the dean of the individual school to act in their place. This may be an
administrator, faculty member, or staff member.
C. Chair and Designees
Wherever “chair” appears in the HONOR CODE or PROCEDURES, it will include any member of the Honor Council designated by the
dean or the chair to act in the chair’s place.
D. Honor Code Administrator
Wherever “Honor Code administrator” appears in the Honor Code or PROCEDURES, it refers to any staff, faculty member, or
administrator member designated to assist the Honor Council in the administration of the Honor Code.
E. Amendments to the Procedures
The PROCEDURES OF THE UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC HONOR CODE OF EMORY COLLEGE OF ARTS AND
SCIENCES, GOIZUETA SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, AND OXFORD COLLEGE may be changed by the agreement of the deans of
Emory College of Arts and Sciences, Goizueta Business School, and Oxford College, or their designees, after conferring with their
respective Honor Councils and the Office of General Counsel.
APPENDICES TO THE UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC HONOR CODE OF EMORY COLLEGE OF ARTS
AND SCIENCES, GOIZUETA SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, AND OXFORD COLLEGE
APPENDIX 1: CREDITING THE WORK AND IDEAS OF OTHERS: USE OF SOURCES
An author’s facts, ideas, phraseology, and other work, such as tables and graphs, should be regarded as their property. Any person
who uses an author’s facts, ideas, phraseology, or other work without giving due credit is responsible for plagiarism.
Information may be put into a paper, report, or other assignment without a citation only if it meets all of the following conditions:
It may be found in several sources on the subject.
It is written entirely in the words of the student.
It is not paraphrased from any particular source.
It therefore belongs to common knowledge.
Generally, if a student writes while looking at a source or while looking at notes taken from a source, a citation should be given.
Whenever any idea is taken from a specific work, even when the student writes the idea entirely in their own words, there must be a
citation giving credit to the author responsible for the idea. The methods of citation vary and may include:
Footnotes
Endnotes
Parenthetical citations
Numerical citations
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 460
The point is that the student should give credit where credit is due. The student should follow the guidelines for citation in the manner
specified by the instructor of the course or the department. In the absence of any specific guidelines, students should follow a standard
citation style (e.g. APA, MLA, Chicago notes).
The student is entirely responsible for knowing and following the principles of proper paraphrasing: "In paraphrasing you are expressing
the ideas of another writer in your own words. A good paraphrase preserves the sense of the original, but not the form. It does not
retain the sentence patterns and merely substitute synonyms for the original words, nor does it retain the original words and merely
alter the sentence patterns. It is a genuine restatement. Invariably it should be briefer than the source."*
* Floyd C. Watkins, William B. Dillingham, and Edwin T. Martin, PRACTICAL ENGLISH HANDBOOK, 3rd ed. (Boston, 1970), p. 245.
Direct quotations (copying a passage word for word) require the following:
The quotation should be placed in quotation marks or indented for block quotations.
A citation must be given.
The quotation should not be altered in a way that would change the meaning of the text. Ellipses may be used to indicate
omitted words and square brackets may be included to clarify meaning or make small changes to integrate the quotation into
the passage.
Even when a student uses only one unusual or key word from a passage, that word should be quoted. If a brief phrase that is common
is used as it occurs in a source, the words should be in quotation marks with a citation.
It is the prerogative of the instructor to prescribe that no secondary sources may be used for particular assignments.
A student who uses a secondary source must remember that the very act of looking up a book, article, or other source should be
considered as a pledge that the student will use the material according to the principles stated above.
Emory has various resources to assist students with using and citing sources, including:
Emory Libraries, Research Help, Citing and Using Sources
Emory Writing Center, Appointments, and Online Resources for Writers
//
APPENDIX 2: COMMON FORMS OF ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT
Article 5 of the Honor Code list general categories of violations. This appendix clarifies the Honor Code by providing typical examples of
academic dishonesty. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. If you are in doubt about any action, contact your professor for
clarification.
Exams
Any attempt to gain or give an unfair advantage during an exam is considered a violation of the Honor Code. Such violations include:
Attempting to look at or copy from another student's exam
Attempting to provide answers to another student
Programming a calculator with answers or other information
Accessing information on a smart device
Using notes or other unauthorized information during an exam
Looking at an older version of the exam without the professor's permission
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 461
Using a test bank or tub file without the professor's permission
Taking an exam for someone else or having someone take an exam for you
Submitting someone else's name on an exam
Because study partners often have similar answers on an exam, the Honor Council recommends that students not sit near their study
partners during a quiz or test.
The use of an electronic device for any reason during an exam or testing situation without permission is strictly prohibited
and violates the Honor Code.
Written Assignments
Plagiarism is the use of someone else's words, ideas, or work without providing proper credit. Whether the act is intentional or not, the
Honor Council considers any form of plagiarism to be a violation of the Honor Code. Some examples of plagiarism and other academic
misconduct in written work include:
Submitting the same or similar work for more than one class without the approval of both professors (double submission or
self-plagiarism)
Using someone else's words without quotation marks and proper attribution
Using information or ideas without acknowledging the source
Paraphrasing a text without acknowledging the source
Improperly paraphrasing a passage by using language or structure that is too similar to the original source
Purchasing a paper or using an online paper assistance website
Having any one than yourself write any part of your paper
Using false page numbers or creating false citations
Group Work and Collaboration
Collaboration on a paper, test, lab, homework, or any other assignment is only allowed with the express permission of the professor. Do
not assume that because you are allowed to collaborate on one type of assignment or in one class that you are allowed to do the same
with other assignments or other classes. When in doubt, always ask your professor. Violations involving multiple students and group
work include:
Copying any part of an assignment, including answers, graphs, figures, and data
Sharing your paper or assignment with another student without the professor's permission
Including someone's name on a project for credit when they didn't contribute to the work
The Honor Council advises students to refrain from sending or providing copies of their work to other students to prevent this work from
being stolen or copied.
Dissemination of Content Related to the Course
Lectures, classroom presentations, and course materials presented or distributed in person or online are for the sole purpose of
educating students enrolled in the course. The release of such information (including but not limited to directly sharing, screen
capturing, or recording content) is strictly prohibited unless the instructor clearly states otherwise. Doing so without the permission of
the instructor will be considered an Honor Code violation, and may also be a violation of state or federal law, such as the Copyright Act.
Other Issues
There are a number of others actions that constitute academic misconduct. These include, but are not limited to:
Providing false information to a professor (e.g. falsely claiming sickness or a family death to get an extension)
Creating false data for an assignment
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 462
Signing someone else into class
Forging a signature on an academic document
Falsifying a transcript or other university document
Seeking to gain or provide an unfair advantage during registration
Resubmitting altered work for a higher grade
Intentionally sabotaging the academic work of another student
Intentionally disrupting the conduct of an exam to gain or provide an academic advantage
Intentionally preventing other students from accessing resources for an assignment
Offering a professor a bribe for a higher grade
//
APPENDIX 3: ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT IN THE ONLINE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
As members of Emory University’s academic community, you are expected to adhere to the standards set forth in the Honor Code
regardless of whether you are completing course work in person or online. Accordingly, be aware that the Honor Code can be
implicated in certain instances when you interact and collaborate with others, or when you consult, discuss, use, or share your own
work or the work of others, especially in the online learning environment. In addition, there are other forms of misconduct that may be
specific to online formats. The list below is not intended to be exhaustive. If you are in doubt about whether actions you are
contemplating are problematic, you should contact your professor directly for clarification.
Exams Administered in Synchronous & Asynchronous Formats
Any attempt to provide or gain an unfair advantage may be considered a violation of the Honor Code. Such violations include:
Asking another individual to complete an exam on your behalf
Attempting to access another student's exam
Attempting to provide answers to another student through any form of communication. This may include: email, text message,
phone call, instant messaging applications or programs, file sharing, screen sharing, or screen mirroring of any kind
Disseminating information about the contents of an exam to one or more students
Attempting to screen capture, copy, or retain exam questions for yourself or others without the permission of the instructor
Sharing your login credentials with others for the purpose of providing or seeking unauthorized assistance
Accessing course content or materials related to the course during an exam (except when permission has been given for an
open-book or open-resource exam)
Plagiarizing content in an open-book or open-resource exam
Accessing the internet beyond the exam administration platform (e.g. Canvas, Examity)
Failing to share your screen with the instructor when requested
Failing to cooperate with the exam proctor. This may include: failing to keep your webcam on as instructed, leaving the view of
your webcam, or failing to use the webcam to demonstrate that your exam space is clear
Failing to follow any instructions related to the Honor Code or academic integrity
Electronic Device Policy: The online teaching environment requires the use of a computer to complete your work. Be advised that the
use of other electronic devices for any reason during an exam or testing situation without explicit permission from your professor is
strictly prohibited and violates the Honor Code. This includes but is not limited to calculators, mobile phones, tablets, smartwatches, or
any other device.
Written Assignments Submitted in the Online Teaching Environment
Plagiarism is the use of someone else's words, ideas, or work without providing proper credit. Whether the act is intentional or not, the
Honor Council considers any form of plagiarism to be a violation of the Honor Code. Some examples of plagiarism and other academic
misconduct in written work submitted to courses through remote instruction include:
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 463
Collaborating with others when the work is expected to be individual (this could be as broad as sharing ideas)
Seeking editing assistance from unauthorized individuals such as paid tutors or editors
Seeking assistance of any kind from a native speaker in language courses
Soliciting others to complete your academic work (whether for pay or not)
Completing academic work for other students (whether for pay or not)
Dissemination of Content Related to the Course
Lectures, classroom presentations, and course materials presented or distributed in person or online are for the sole purpose of
educating students enrolled in the course. The release of such information (including but not limited to directly sharing, screen
capturing, or recording content) is strictly prohibited unless the instructor clearly states otherwise. Doing so without the permission of
the instructor will be considered an Honor Code violation, and may also be a violation of state or federal law, such as the Copyright Act.
All other University policies remain in effect for students participating in online education.
//
INCOMPLETES & ABSENCES
INCOMPLETE WORK
A student may be granted formal permission by the Office for Undergraduate Education, in consultation with the course instructor, to
defer the final examination or other parts of a course. The student must have completed at least 50 percent of the course work, be able
to pass the course upon completion of the remaining work, and be able to complete the remaining work independently (apart from the
administration of any missed quizzes or exams).
Approval of incompletes is based on information provided by the instructor as well as documentation provided to the Office for
Undergraduate Education by the student of the specific health or personal circumstances. When permission is granted, the notation “I”
is recorded for the course in OPUS by the instructor.
All incomplete work must be completed during the student’s next semester of residence no later than the deadline as printed in the
Registrar’s academic calendar, or within twelve months if the student does not re-enroll in the College during that year. In some
circumstances related to documented health or hardship issues, an instructor may agree to an extension of the deadline. This extension
will be reported to the Office for Undergraduate Education, and the reasons for the extension will be documented.
Students are strongly encouraged to resolve all incompletes before studying abroad, and a significant amount of incomplete work may
prevent a student from studying abroad. All incomplete work must be resolved and a grade posted prior to certification of an Emory
degree.
Failure to complete the course by the appropriate deadline will result in a grade of IF or IU unless the student provides to the Office for
Undergraduate Education documentation of extenuating circumstances that will allow the “I” to be changed to a “W” (withdrawal). This
change is granted only in cases of significant hardship or health issues or when an instructor is no longer available to receive the
outstanding work.
Students may also receive an “I” for any class in which an Honor Code suspicion has been reported. The incomplete is not subject to
the regular incomplete deadline, and a final grade will be posted for the course once the Honor Code matter has been resolved.
ABSENCES
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 464
Students are expected to attend classes regularly. Although the College does not impose any automatic administrative penalties for a
reasonable number of absences from class or laboratory, instructors may impose such penalties for their individual courses or set other
specific policies about attendance and punctuality. Students should understand that they are responsible for the academic
consequences of absence.
ABSENCES FROM EXAMINATIONS
A student who fails to take any required midterm or final examination at the scheduled time may not make up the examination without
written permission from a dean in the Office for Undergraduate Education. Permission will be granted only for illness or other
compelling reasons, such as participation in scheduled events off-campus as an official representative of the University.
Deferred examinations must be taken during the student’s next semester of residence by the incomplete grade deadline as published in
the Registrar’s calendar or within twelve months if the student does not re-enroll in the College.
Failure to take a deferred examination by the appropriate deadline will result automatically in the grade IF or IU. A student who takes
any part of a final examination will not be allowed to defer or retake that final.
APPROVED: CURRICULUM, ASSESSMENT, AND EDUCATIONAL POLICY COMMITTEE, FEBRUARY 19, 2019
INDEPENDENT STUDY
In most degree programs, students are given an opportunity to do independent research in close cooperation with members of the
College faculty. These opportunities range across all divisions of the College, from independent laboratory research in the natural
sciences to individual directed research in the social sciences and humanities. All credit must be awarded in the semester in which
the work is undertaken. For further information, see listings under the various departments and programs.
APPROVED: CURRICULUM, ASSESSMENT, AND EDUCATIONAL POLICY COMMITTEE, FEBRUARY 19, 2020
PE WAIVER FOR ROTC PARTICIPANTS, MILITARY SERVICE MEMBERS, AND VETERANS
Students who participate in the Reserve Officer Training Corps program or who are military service members or veterans (either of the
United States or other nations) honorably discharged (or its equivalent) may receive a waiver from the Physical Education General
Education Requirement for Emory College. The purpose of the waiver is to assist military and veteran students in completing their
degrees without requiring them to duplicate their efforts, given the significant focus the military places on physical preparation.
This waiver applies both to the PED requirement and to the PPF requirement, which are each a single non-academic credit. Students
with these waivers will be required to complete 125 total credit hours (124 academic credits plus 1 non-academic credit for Health 101)
required for graduation.
ROTC students may request a waiver from the PE requirements after completing their first year in the ROTC program. Military service
members and veterans may request a waiver from the PE requirements once they enroll in Emory College. ROTC students, service
members or veterans should request this waiver from their OUE advisor, who will collect any necessary documentation. OUE will then
enter an exception in the Degree Tracker and create a note in the student’s record that the PE waiver was granted.
APPROVED: CURRICULUM, ASSESSMENT, AND EDUCATIONAL POLICY COMMITTEE, OCTOBER 1, 2020
READMISSION
After withdrawal or absence for one or more semesters, except summer, any student who was in good academic standing at the end of
his or her last prior semester of enrollment is eligible for readmission within five years from the initial term of withdrawal or absence.
Special conditions apply for students who were on academic probation when they left or who withdrew for health reasons (see
Cancellation and Withdrawal).
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 465
To initiate readmission a student must submit a readmission form, which may be obtained online here:
http://college.emory.edu/oue/resources-a-z.html). Students will be permitted to pre-register for the semester for which they are
readmitted, provided the request for readmission is received by the deadlines established by the Office for Undergraduate Education.
Students who would like a preregistration enrollment appointment must submit the readmission form one month prior to the
preregistration enrollment period.
Readmission does not carry with it the awarding of transfer credit for work done at another college or university while a student is away
from Emory. To receive credit for such work, the student must reapply to Emory as a transfer student.
For readmission after withdrawal for medical reasons, the Office for Undergraduate Education may consult with any relevant university
offices including but not limited to Student Health Services, Counseling and Psychological Services, and Student Intervention Services.
Typically, students who withdraw for medical reasons and are in good academic standing are eligible for readmission after an additional
semester on leave from Emory. A physician statement is required for all students returning after a medical leave of absence. The form
must be provided by the health care provider(s).
For readmission after a five-year period of absence, students must petition the Committee on Academic Standards (CAS) for approval
of the readmission request. The requirement to petition for readmission also applies to students who complete an Oxford Associate of
Arts degree but who do not enroll within five years at Emory College. Students readmitted after a five-year period of absence will be
subject to the current degree requirements of Emory College of Arts and Sciences as well as the current requirements of any major or
minor program that the student declares. Furthermore, the Committee on Academic Standards in consultation with the Office for
Undergraduate Education and any relevant departments may determine that individual courses taken prior to the absence may not be
used to satisfy degree and/or major or minor requirements.
APPROVED: CURRICULUM, ASSESSMENT, AND EDUCATIONAL POLICY COMMITTEE, FEBRUARY 19, 2020
RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS
Students who start in Emory College, as well as students who transfer to the College from outside the University, must complete their
last sixty-four credit hours in residence at Emory College. Oxford Continuees must complete their last fifty-four credit hours in Emory
College. This policy does not apply to special nonresident departmental programs, dual degree programs, and those programs
approved by the faculty and administered by the Office of International and Summer Programs.
APPROVED: CURRICULUM, ASSESSMENT, AND EDUCATIONAL POLICY COMMITTEE, FEBRUARY 19, 2020
RETROACTIVE ACADEMIC RELIEF POLICY
Students who have compelling reasons, namely medical need, family emergency, death in the immediate family, or other significant
circumstances resulting in unforeseen hardship for the student (see Withdrawal Policy) and who provide appropriate support
documentation that would have led to approval of a total withdrawal without academic penalty in the course of the semester, but who
did not come forward to obtain a total withdrawal during the semester, may petition the Committee on Academic Standards for
retroactive academic relief. Normally, students may apply for and receive retroactive academic relief for one semester only during their
career in Emory College of Arts and Sciences.
If the Committee on Academic Standards grants the petition, the student’s letter grades for the relevant term will be converted to
Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory grades. The term will not count towards the grade-point average. A notation will be made on the official
student transcript indicating the student was granted academic relief for that term due to extenuating circumstances. In addition, the
term will not count towards the College’s continuation/promotion requirements. Courses in which the student receives a “Satisfactory”
grade will count as elective credit toward the overall credit hours requirement for graduation. Students who receive academic relief from
any term are prohibited from petitioning the Committee on Academic Standards to have any of the courses with a “Satisfactory” grade
count in the General Education Requirements (GERs) of the College. In no instance may these “Satisfactory” grades fulfill a GER,
except as specified in the general stipulations regarding Area IX: Physical Education.
Grades assigned as part of a sanction for an Honor Code violation cannot be changed through the academic relief process, but only
through the Honor Code process.

SATISFACTORY & AUDIT GRADING
SATISFACTORY/UNSATISFACTORY OPTION
A student may elect to take up to twenty of the total credit hours required for graduation from any department or program in the College
with the stipulation that grades for courses so elected will be recorded as Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory only and shall not be counted in
computing the grade-point average. The grade of Satisfactory carries full academic credit; the grade of Unsatisfactory carries no
academic credit. No course used to satisfy general education requirements may be taken on an S/U basis, except for physical
education courses. ECS 101: The Emory Edge, MLP_OX 101: Milestone Project, Washington Semester, and Bard Semester, which are
graded only Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory, as well as transfer and transient credit, do not count toward the twenty hours. All other
courses that offered as Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory only, and courses taken through the ARCHE program, including ROTC, do count
toward the twenty-hour limit toward the graduation requirement. A grade of D or better shall be considered as meeting the Satisfactory
requirement.
The grading basis of a course may not be changed after 4pm on the Friday of the sixth full week of class after the Add/Drop/Swap
period. One course required for concentration in a given field may be taken on an S/U basis with the approval of the Director of
Undergraduate Studies and the department. (Students should refer to the College's online calendar and syllabi for courses taught
during the Summer Semester or Maymester for the comparable deadline.)
The Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory option is not applicable to any courses offered by the Goizueta Business School.
AUDIT COURSES
Emory College does not officially recognize audits. Students may therefore not register to audit any College course. With the
permission of the instructor, students may unofficially visit any course for which they are eligible to register, but no record is kept of
courses so visited.

STUDENT COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE
Emory College of Arts and Sciences Complaints Process
Student complaints can be categorized into four major areas: academic, non-academic, discrimination/harassment, or appeals of any of
the previously mentioned areas.
Emory encourages each student to handle complaints as close to the source as possible. Each school has their own procedures
usually explained at orientation or in their respective catalogs. Academic or other concerns usually begin with student service personnel
in each school who route their concerns to the appropriate school authority. Student concerns can have many facets; even when
escalated, they may require a review of issues with school personnel who are closest to the situation. This practice generally results in
greater student satisfaction as issues can typically be resolved more quickly. Judgments on the appropriateness of decisions regarding
complaints made within a college are most appropriately made by individuals with expertise in the particular area.
What documentation is required to constitute a formal complaint?
Student complaints must be submitted in writing and accompanied by relevant documentation describing
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 467
1. the specific action, practice or decision that is being challenged
2. the impact of the decision
3. what resolution is desired
4. why it should be granted.
To expedite a prompt resolution, complaints should include current contact information of the individual filing the complaint. Responses
to the complaint including the final decision will be provided in writing within 90 business days of receipt of the complaint. Complaints
can be submitted either in hard copy or via e-mail to the relevant University Officer or Committee.
Where should I submit my formal complaint?
Request for an Exception to an Academic Policy
Requests for exceptions to standing academic policy are handled by the Committee on Academic Standards. Students wishing to file
for an academic exception should, in the first instance, follow the procedures outlined on the Committee on Academic Standards
website.
Grade Disputes
Students who wish to dispute a grade in a course or assignment should submit their complaint in writing to the Director of
Undergraduate Studies in the relevant department. Departments may have specific requirements and procedures for grade appeals,
and students should consult with the departments and Directors of Undergraduate Studies for details. A full list of Directors of
Undergraduate Studies can be found here.
General Complaints
Students who wish to make a general complaint not covered by the processes for academic exceptions or grade disputes should
submit those to the Office for Undergraduate Education, White Hall 300, 301 Dowman Drive, Atlanta, 30322 or by e-mailing
oue.advising@emory.edu.
State of Georgia Complaints Process
Federal financial aid laws and regulations require that each state has a process to review and act on complaints concerning educational
institutions in the state. You may file a complaint with the State of Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission (GNPEC)
website at www.GNPEC.org to submit your complaint/grievance with the state. You may also contact GNPEC by mail or by phone at
the following address and/or phone number: Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission, 2082 East Exchange Place, Suite 220,
Tucker, Georgia 30084-5305; Office: 770-414-3300, Fax: 770-414-3309. Please be aware that: "The Commission requires that students
utilize and complete their institution's grievance procedure in an attempt to resolve any complaint or concern before submitting a
complaint to the Commission. If the institution's resolution is not satisfactory, a student may then appeal to the Commission, but it will
not investigate a complaint unless the student has exhausted all available grievance procedures outlined by the institution.".

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 468
Students may order official academic transcripts online through OPUS. Electronic transcripts are delivered electronically to the
receiving institution. Paper transcripts are also available. Although there is no per-transcript fee assessed for transcripts, a fee is
charged for express delivery of paper transcripts. Transcripts will not be issued if a student’s record shows financial indebtedness to
Emory University or in cases in which a student’s transcript is on hold as part of a disciplinary sanction.
All transcripts include a student’s entire academic record; no partial or incomplete statements of a student’s record will be issued as
transcripts.
To ensure prompt receipt of transcripts, students should make requests at a reasonable time prior to need. Delays in issuance may
occur immediately before or after a term break. More information about ordering transcripts is available on the University Registrar’s
website.
APPROVED: CURRICULUM, ASSESSMENT, AND EDUCATIONAL POLICY COMMITTEE, FEBRUARY 19, 2020
TRANSIENT STUDY (STUDY AT OTHER COLLEGES)
For entering first-year students, a combined 18 credit hours of the following types of credit may be granted (transfer students may
transfer a maximum of 62 credit hours. See Advanced Placement and Exemption Information for Incoming Transfer Students). Credit
hours may count towards the General Education Requirements (GERs), or towards major or minor requirements with departmental
approval. Emory and Oxford Colleges will grant acceleration placement for courses beyond the allowed 18 hours, but no additional
credit hours or GER waivers will be given.
1. AP/IB or other test credits (maximum of 12 credit hours). Departments have specified equivalent courses that these test
credits replace for the purpose of GERs and major requirements. http://catalog.college.emory.edu/academic/policies-
regulations/advanced-placement-exemption.html
2. Other college credits earned prior to matriculation that do not count towards the secondary school diploma. Newly admitted
first year students who wish to receive credit for work taken at another college after acceptance and before enrollment should
secure permission/approval from the dean of admission. Please review the Office of Undergraduate Admission AP/IB/Other
credit policies: http://apply.emory.edu/apply/apib.php
3. Transient study credits earned after matriculation through coursework at accredited colleges or universities. Transient study
may be earned domestically or internationally.
Domestic transient study (permission to take work at another institution in the United States and US Territories) is normally granted only
for summer enrollment. Students who wish to take summer work elsewhere in the United States after their first year, or before a student
has earned 64 credit hours, at Emory must secure written permission from the Office for Undergraduate Education before the end of the
preceding spring semester and must not be on academic probation after the completion of spring semester. In order to earn credit
through Domestic Transient Study, students must earn a grade of C or above. The course credits, but not the grades, are posted on the
official Emory transcript. For more information, please go to the DTS website.
International students (on J-1 or F-1 visa status) who wish to take summer coursework in their home countries after their first year at
Emory must meet the requirements for International Transient Study and complete the Office of International and Summer Programs
(OISP) International Transient Study application. For more information, please go to OISP’s website.
Credit earned at other institutions may not comprise part of the last 64 semester hours or four semesters of work toward a degree in
Emory College of Arts and Sciences, except as described under approved off-campus programs such as the Washington Semester and
Education Abroad programs or as described immediately below. A final transcript for any summer coursework must be submitted by
October 1, immediately following the summer in which the coursework was completed. All credits for non-Emory courses must officially
appear on the student’s transcript by the end of their first semester upon return to Emory.
This policy applies to students who enter in the fall 2018 semester or later. Students who began before fall 2018 should refer
to the Transient Study website for the current policy arrangement
Transient Study after 64 Credit Hours
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 469
Students who have completed 64 credit hours of course work in Emory College of Arts and Sciences and are in good standing may
receive up to 16 semester hours and one semester of residence credit toward their Emory degree for advanced-level courses taken at
another college or university in the USA. Approval is required in advance by the Office for Undergraduate Education and by the chairs
of the appropriate departments at Emory, who must
1. Certify the advanced level of the proposed courses, and
2. Provide a compelling reason why these courses cannot be taken at Emory.
Students who wish to take courses abroad at an international institution must either do so through an approved Emory College
Education Abroad programs or the non-Emory program petition process, please visit the
Office of International and Summer Programs
website.

Cancellation
Enrollment may be cancelled prior to the beginning of the semester or through the end of the Add/Drop/Swap period with no entry made
on the student’s record. To cancel enrollment, a student must secure permission from the Office for Undergraduate Education.
Partial Course Withdrawals
Emory students may withdraw from one or more courses until 4pm on the Friday of the sixth full week of class after the Add/Drop/Swap
period providing that the student continues to carry a load of 12 credit hours or is in their final semester of residence as a graduating
senior. In order for a partial withdrawal to be processed, a student must complete a withdrawal form through the Office for
Undergraduate Education, consult with their course instructor and OUE advisor, and receive signatures from both. These signatures
indicate only that consultation has occurred, not that the course instructor and advisor necessarily approve of the student’s decision.
Completed forms must be returned to the Office for Undergraduate Education for a dean’s consideration.
In addition, students will be allowed one voluntary withdrawal from a course after the sixth week withdrawal deadline and until the
Friday of the tenth week of classes during one of their first two semesters of full-time residency at Emory College provided that they
maintain a 12 credit hour course load. Only one late withdrawal is allowed in that first year. An eligible student must complete a
withdrawal form and follow the appropriate procedures as outlined above. This voluntary withdrawal policy applies to first-year
students, transfer students and Oxford Continuees. This policy does not apply to students who are on study abroad
programs.
One additional withdrawal provision is available. After the sixth full week of class after the Add/Drop/Swap period of the semester, a
student may petition for a withdrawal from a class based on medical need, family emergency, death in the immediate family, or other
significant circumstance resulting in unforeseen hardship for the student. Petitions will be reviewed by academic advisors in the Office
for Undergraduate Education, who, with the student’s permission, will consult with medical personnel where appropriate. Consultation
with instructors, the student’s advisor and/or others will be part of the decision process. Petitions will be considered for approval by a
dean in the Office for Undergraduate Education.
Semester Withdrawals
A student may completely withdraw from a semester in Emory College with permission from the Office for Undergraduate Education. A
student who withdraws voluntarily before the end of the twenty-third calendar day following the beginning of classes will receive grades
of W in all the courses for which they are registered that term. Thereafter, a student who withdraws will normally receive grades of WF
in all courses, except under the provision below.
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 470
For reasons of illness or other compelling circumstances, a student may withdraw during the semester from all classes with the
approval of a dean in the Office for Undergraduate Education. Students must provide documentation from a treating health provider or
other appropriate documentation relevant to their circumstances. If a dean grants the semester withdrawal, the student will receive
grades of W in all courses for that term. The Office for Undergraduate Education, in consultation with the Student Health Services,
Counseling and Psychological Services, and Student Intervention Services, will officially inform the student in writing as to the terms
and timing for readmission. Typically, students who withdraw for medical reasons and are in good academic standing are eligible for
readmission after an additional semester away from Emory. A physician statement is required for all students returning after a medical
leave of absence. The form must be provided by the student’s health care provider(s).
Unofficial withdrawal from the University results in 100 percent forfeiture of tuition. When officially withdrawing, students may be eligible
for a refund of payments depending upon the date of withdrawal. Refunds are only processed for complete semester withdrawals;
partial withdrawals from individual courses are not eligible for refunds. Financial aid awards that pay part or all of the student charges
are prorated accordingly. Refunds for federal (Title IV) aid recipients will be prorated in accordance with federal regulations. No refunds
are issued until all semester charges are paid in full. See the Deadlines page on the Student Financial Services website for the Emory
Tuition Adjustment Schedule.
Involuntary Leave of Absence and Return Policy
Emory University is committed to the safety, health and well-being of the campus community. The University recognizes that students
may experience situations that significantly limit their ability to function successfully or safely in their role as students. In such
circumstances, students should consider requesting a leave of absence. A leave of absence permits students to take a break from
the University and their studies, so that they may address the issues that led to the need for the leave, and later return to the University
with an enhanced opportunity to achieve their educational goals. Full information about voluntary leaves of absence (for any reason)
are available from individual schools and programs. Students will be given the option to take a voluntary leave of absence before
a decision is made with respect to an involuntary leave. If the decision about an involuntary leave of absence occurs during a semester,
a student will be required to take a full withdrawal from courses; if the decision is between semesters, this process takes place without
withdrawal from classes. The process of an involuntary leave of absence is an administrative process, not a disciplinary process. It is
intended to address the needs of a student and the student’s ability to undertake fully a role as a student and member of the
community. The length of the leave of absence is determined on an individual basis and there is no standard duration to a leave of
absence.
A leave of absence, whether voluntary or involuntary, is intended to be a temporary separation. The University is fully committed to
working with a student towards return to the community. Through the process of readmission, the University will support the student in
reestablishing eligibility for financial aid and other community resources.
A. Process
An involuntary leave of absence is rare and is instituted when other reasonable and available options have been considered and the
student declines, verbally or through inaction, to take a voluntary leave of absence.
The academic associate dean in the student’s academic school (or appropriate individual designated by the school if the title differs)
has the authority to place a student on an involuntary leave of absence in the following circumstances:
Where current knowledge about the individual’s medical condition and/or the best available objective evidence indicates that a
student poses a significant risk to the health or safety of a member of the University community,
Where a student is unable or unwilling to carry out substantial self-care obligations and poses a significant risk to their own
safety not based on mere speculation, stereotypes, or generalizations,
Or where a student’s behavior severely disrupts the University environment, and the student does not want to take a voluntary
leave.

ACADEMIC ADVISING AND SUPPORT
Academic Advising and Support Programs in the Office for Undergraduate Education (OUE) provides a range of academic advising and
support services. The services and programs are designed as a supplement to faculty and departmental advising.
OUE academic advisers work closely with students, faculty and staff to provide group and individual academic advising, explain and
interpret academic policies, and connect students to resources and support services on campus. In addition, students who experience
medical, personal or other concerns that affect their academic progress may seek the assistance of an academic adviser to determine
appropriate options.
Many students have questions about graduation requirements, course selection and programs of study. OUE academic advisers will
work with students to answer academic policy questions and assist students with making academic decisions. While faculty advisers
and departments provide general advising for all students upon their entrance to the College and are responsible for major/minor
advising, the OUE academic advisers supplement departmental advising and provide individual consultations for students experiencing
special circumstances.
Students can call (404) 727-6069, log-in to College Connect, or e-mail oue.advising@emory.edu to schedule an appointment.
Academic support is available through a variety of programs ranging from individual consultations, peer tutoring and mentoring,
workshops and other programming for specific populations. Students or faculty who would like more information about specific services
and programs should visit Academic Support Programs.

HONORS PROGRAM
Honors Programs are available to outstanding students in most, but not all, areas of concentration. Administered by a faculty Honors
Committee, these programs enable students to do intensive work in a chosen area and therefore involve work that extends beyond
ordinary course requirements and ordinary standards of performance.
REQUIREMENTS
Although all students with a cumulative average of 3.50 at the end of their first three years are eligible for these programs, final
selection of participants rests with the department concerned.
Exceptions to the 3.50 average requirement may be made by the Honors Committee in individual cases upon recommendation by the
department concerned. Students who wish to petition must have at least a 3.45 cumulative GPA. See department or College Honors
Porgram Administrator (ec.honorsprogram@emory.edu) for more information on the GPA waiver petition process and requirements. All
Emory grades are considered in the calculation of the cumulative GPA. For example, all Emory College of Arts and Sciences and
Business School grades are considered in the calculation of the cumulative GPA for Business School students who pursue honors in a
major in the College. In order to graduate with honors, students must meet the requirements as outlined below over two consecutive
semesters (not including summer).
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 475
Students may pursue honors in only one major or joint major.
Requirements vary slightly from department to department. They generally include enrollment in a graduate seminar or graduate
course, completion of a research project or paper that is the equivalent of a BA or BS thesis, and additional supervised reading or
enrollment in a special honors course. Departments that accept projects outside of a traditional honors thesis must receive permission
from the Honors Committee. Since credit for the graduate work and the reading program count toward the hours required for the major,
the Honors Program usually entails an increase of about four hours of credit in the major requirements.
An examination, written and/or oral, covering the honors work, including the thesis and allied fields, is given upon completion of the
program. Examiners recommend the degree of honors (honors, high honors, highest honors) to the Honors Committee, which certifies
the list to the registrar for printing in the commencement program and on the students' diplomas. Fourrageres indicating the degree of
honors are presented to successful candidates by the college and are worn at commencement.
LEVELS OF HONORS
Honors (cum laude) represents satisfactory completion of the program, with an overall average of 3.50.
High Honors (magna cum laude) represents completion of the program with outstanding performance, including an overall average of
3.50 and a thesis of quality sufficient for oral presentation to scholars in the candidate's field.
Highest Honors (summa cum laude) represents completion of the program with exceptional performance, including an overall average
of 3.50 and a thesis of a quality suitable for publication.
THESIS GUIDELINES
Guidelines and deadlines for submission of theses will be available to students who are currently enrolled in the Honors Program.

HONORS PROGRAM FAQS
WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLETING THE HONORS PROGRAM?
Students are required to maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5, to be enrolled at Emory for both semesters in which they are
pursuing honors, to be in residence and enrolled in at least one hour of honors research during the final semester of their participation
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 478
in the Honors Program, to complete the mandatory orientation in Canvas and any other required trainings, to write and defend an
honors thesis, and to submit all required honors forms and complete the ETD submission process. Additionally, many departments
have their own requirements for honors students; be sure to check with your Departmental Honors Coordinator to find out what, if any,
additional requirements you must meet. To find your Departmental Honors Coordinator, visit:
http://catalog.college.emory.edu/academic/honors-program/contact.html.
MAY I DO STUDY ABROAD WHILE I AM PARTICIPATING IN THE HONORS PROGRAM?
With special permission in cases of academic relevance, students may study abroad during the first semester of their participation in
the Honors Program. All students are required to be in residence during the final semester of participation in the Honors Program.
HOW IS GPA CALCULATED FOR HONORS PURPOSES?
Admission to the Emory College Honors Program requires a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or above, and students must maintain a cumulative
3.5 GPA through graduation to be eligible to graduate with Honors. Only Emory grades (including Emory sponsored study abroad
programs and courses offered at Emory but outside the College, such as those offered by the Goizueta Business School) are
calculated as part of a student’s Emory GPA.
MY GPA IS BELOW 3.5. MAY I PARTICIPATE IN THE HONORS PROGRAM?
In May and August, the Honors Committee considers petitions to be admitted to Honors from students who do not meet the 3.5
cumulative GPA requirement. Students who have a GPA of at least 3.45, and the support of their departmental honors coordinator and
potential thesis advisor are eligible to petition. Students who are admitted by petition must earn at least a 3.5 semester GPA in every
subsequent semester to be eligible to continue in the Honors Program.
WHAT COURSE(S) MUST I BE ENROLLED IN TO PARTICIPATE IN THE HONORS PROGRAM?
The College requires honors students to be in residence and enrolled in at least one hour of honors credit during the semester in which
they are completing the Honors Program. However, many departments have additional requirements for honors coursework, which
typically includes two semesters of honors research/writing and sometimes an additional graduate course or seminar; be sure to check
with your Departmental Honors Coordinator for more information.
WHO MAY SERVE ON MY THESIS COMMITTEE?
Committees must consist of at least three core members. Core committee members must be regular Emory University faculty members
from any school or unit. One member must be from the student’s honors major and at least one member must be from Emory College.
Your advisor counts as one of the three core members. You may have additional core committee members from the faculty of Emory
University. You may also have additional non-core committee members from the faculty of other universities, but only core committee
members vote on the level of honors.
Regular faculty titles typically include professor, associate professor, assistant professor, teaching professor (professor of pedagogy),
associate teaching professor (senior lecturer), assistant teaching professor (lecturer), but might also include titles such as Instructor or
Research Associate.
Adjunct, visiting, emeritus, and post-doctoral fellows must petition to the Honors Committee to be permitted to serve on committees as
core committee members.
Members of the staff are not eligible to serve on committees.
If you have questions about someone’s eligibility or about the petition process, contact ec.honorsprogram@emory.edu.

I WANT TO DO HONORS IN MORE THAN ONE MAJOR. IS THIS POSSIBLE?
No. Students may pursue honors in only one of their declared majors (or in an official joint major that they have declared). Students
who are double majoring may design an interdisciplinary project that draws on both majors with the approval of the department in which
they are seeking honors, but they will only receive honors in one major.
I WANT TO DO HONORS IN MY MINOR. IS THIS POSSIBLE?
No. Honors may only be pursued in the student’s declared major.
WILL I GET CONTINUED WRITING OR CONTINUED COMMUNICATION CREDIT FOR THE HONORS
PROGRAM COURSE?
Students will receive credit for the continued writing/continued communication GER credit in the second semester of the Honors
Program only. The Honors 495BW course will satisfy the continued writing/continued communication GER even if the student enrolls for
less than three credits.
HOW DO I DROP THE HONORS PROGRAM?
If you have decided to drop the Honors Program, you must notify both the College Honors Program Administrator
(ec.honorsprogram@emory.edu) and your Departmental Honors Coordinator by email. If dropping after College withdrawal deadlines,
you must work with your advisor and/or honors coordinator to finish the honors course in which you are enrolled.
I AM GRADUATING A SEMESTER EARLY OR A SEMESTER LATE. MAY I STILL PURSUE HONORS?
Yes. Students may pursue Honors on an alternative timeline, with permission from their department and in coordination with the
College Honors Program Administrator, but must pursue honors for two consecutive semesters (not including summer semester).
ARE THERE ANY SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT I SHOULD LET THE HONORS PROGRAM KNOW
ABOUT?
If you are struggling academically, have petitioned a college standing committee for special circumstances, or there is an extraordinary
experience that is affecting your academic path, please get in touch with the honors coordinator in your department and the honors
program immediately so your best options for honors can be determined.

PREHEALTH ADVISING
Emory University Pre-Health Advising provides academic advising and support for students interested in pursuing one of many health
professions. Pre-Health advisors encourage students to explore healthcare professions, assist students in developing meaningful
academic and extracurricular plans, provide resources and opportunities related to healthcare professions and prepare students to
apply to healthcare professional programs.
Pre-health is not a major or minor in the College, but rather indicates that a student is interested in pursuing a career in healthcare,
including but not limited to: medicine, dentistry, nursing, physician assistant, public health, veterinary medicine and many others. In
addition to completing any major in the College and completing Emory’s General Education Requirements, pre-health students
complete prerequisite courses determined by the healthcare professional program(s) to which they apply. Most of these courses are
offered by the College and can be worked into schedules over four years. Prerequisites generally need to be completed before
matriculation in a healthcare program.
The pre-health staff holds advising appointments (walk-in and scheduled) as well as programs throughout the year. Pre-Health
Advising also provides Composite Letters for students applying to particular allied health programs. Students should register with Pre-
Health Advising online to receive weekly newsletters and other important information related to healthcare professional school goals.
Visit www.prehealth.emory.edu for information about appointment types, availability, Composite Letters and pre-health resources.

scholarship and cultural immersion. Its services support students and faculty before, during, and after the study abroad experience in
order to ensure that study abroad is an essential part of an Emory College education. Approximately 50% of College students have
some sort of international educational experience by the time they graduate. OISP offers over 130 approved study abroad programs in
over 40 countries around the world; students can spend a summer, a semester, or a full academic year abroad in another country.
Students earn Emory credits and grades while abroad, retain semester financial aid packages (some summer aid is available as well),
and fulfill academic requirements towards majors, minors, and GERs. Emory College Study Abroad also coordinates various
international service learning and research options. Please visit http://studyabroad.emory.edu for more information.
TIBET PARTNERSHIP
In recent years the study of Tibetan civilization has gained strength at Emory. During a visit to Emory in 1998, His Holiness the Dalai
Lama signed an agreement with then-Emory President William M. Chace to work toward furthering educational links between the
University and institutions of higher learning operated by the Tibetan government in exile in India. The program includes study abroad
in Dharamsala, a student exchange, ongoing courses and research in Tibetan culture and philosophy, and an exchange between
students and faculty.

DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMS
AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES DEPARTMENT
Dedicated to the histories, cultures, and political movements of black communities across the United States and the wider African
Diaspora, African American Studies at Emory University pursues academic excellence and social responsibility through interdisciplinary
scholarship, transformational pedagogy, and engagement with local, national, and international communities of African descent. In
keeping with these dual commitments, the department changes the focus and broadens the vision of students in their explorations of
human experience, history, literature, culture, and politics. The department prepares students for work, life, and the realities and
responsibilities of twenty-first century global citizenship through an interdisciplinary approach to liberal arts education. AAS creates
learning communities characterized by introductory, advanced, and integrative forms of learning. Students have numerous opportunities
to participate in first-year seminars, lectures, writing-intensive courses, undergraduate research experiences, diversity curriculum, and
capstone courses and projects. Here, faculty and students work collaboratively in the democratic pursuit of greater understandings of
politics, culture, social movements, and society; of knowledge, ethics, evidence, and interpretation; and of the past and present as both
means and ends.

Independent
Study or
Research
The Institute for Developing Nations (IDN) at Emory offers scholarships for independent student research projects in
Africa in partnership with Emory College Study Abroad.
AMERICAN STUDIES PROGRAM
American Studies will teach you how to think expansively and critically about American culture. Our courses will allow you to
understand the patterns of American culture as they have changed over time, and as they are reflected in the particular experiences of
Americans from different regions, social classes, races, ethnicities, genders and national backgrounds. The major will immerse you in
the subject of American culture, as well as in the interdisciplinary methods of American Studies, which seek insight through multiple
perspectives on phenomena, events, or currents in American culture. You will be exposed to several disciplinary perspectives through
the Contributing Courses and also to models for integrating such perspectives in the Core Course, the Introduction, and the Senior
Symposium. Our major is designed to help you explore the borders of American nationality as well as the contexts in which the
American experience has unfolded. Our faculty have a wide range of scholarly interests and are affiliated with the English, Women's
Studies, Sociology, Religion and History Departments at Emory.
The major will emphasize the interdisciplinary study of cultural forms, practices, institutions, technologies, and social movements in
American history and culture. Both individual courses and the program as a whole will give special attention to the interactions of
gender, place and region, race and ethnicity, and social class as cultural patterns. While we take the United States as our primary field
of reference, we do so understanding that the internal borders of region and the external borders of nation have changed over time. We
thus encourage work that explores America as a place, a population, and a set of historical events, and we will encourage each major
to include courses with a comparative dimension or ones that offer an international context for the development of American culture.
We seek to give students a broad base in the sweep of American history (in our introductory course and in the requirement of one other
course in American History) and exposure to the way that different disciplines offer insight into American history (hence the requirement
to take one contributing course in social science and one in humanities). In the core courses, students will choose from a range of
deeply interdisciplinary courses as they learn to apply the basic models of the introductory course to a variety of events and social
phenomena in American history. The senior symposium will function as a capstone seminar, one that will bring students to a certain
level of sophistication about American Studies as a scholarly field. In that seminar, students will learn about the history of American
Studies and participate in a research seminar around a common theme (such as the legacy of slavery or the Vietnam War).
American Studies began as an intellectual movement in universities and colleges and there are over two hundred American Studies
programs in the United States (and even more abroad). It is therefore a degree that is recognizable to professional schools, gradaute
programs, and employers. It can prepare students for a wide range of careers: in law, business, teaching, journalism, the arts,
philanthropy and museums. Our majors will be taught how to think critically about the complex social system in which they live, which is
an exemplary way to combine a liberal arts education with vocational interests.

chooses to pursue honors will take AMS 495R, Honors Independent Writing, for the two terms preceding the
degree, and the honors thesis will be submitted according to the requirements. (In some circumstances, AMS
498R may substitute for the first of the two terms.) If the student fails to complete the honors project, the student
will still be required to submit a paper of not less than 20 pages in length which will count as the student's senior
research project.
ANTHROPOLOGY DEPARTMENT
Anthropology is the scientific and interpretive study of humankind, from its beginnings millions of years ago to the present day. The
discipline of anthropology begins with a simple but enormously powerful idea: that any particular aspect of human biology and behavior
can be fully understood only when it is placed against a background provided by the full range of variability found in human biology and
behavior worldwide. This is the comparative perspective, the attempt to explain both the similarities and differences among people in
the context of humanity as a whole. Anthropology is therefore composed of multiple subfields. We offer courses in cultural, biological,
linguistic, medical, and psychological anthropology. Anthropology majors receive a sound liberal arts education, which provides a
needed edge in today's competitive world of careers. Anthropology's scope and intellectual roominess can prepare students to make
objective, far-sighted decisions at the professional level in any career field. Anthropology graduates go on to careers in professional
anthropology, medicine, law, social work, public health, environmental studies, teaching, translation, laboratory research, international
business, and government. Emory students benefit from a variety of excellent resources for studying anthropology. Students of
Anthropology have access to the following laboratories: the Laboratory for Comparative Human Biology; Laboratory for Darwinian
Neuroscience; Human Health Laboratory; Media Publics and Critical Discourse Laboratory; Paleolithic Technology Laboratory;
QuantitativeComputational Anthropology Laboratory(QCAL). Students also have opportunities to be involved with ongoing research at
the Sloan Foundation's MARIAL Center (Myth and Ritual in American Life), the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, the Center
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 486
for Behavioral Neuroscience, the Michael C. Carlos Museum and The Carter Center. For those students interested in medical
anthropology, Emory is affiliated with the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Rollins School of
Public Health. The department sponsors the Beta chapter of the Lambda Alpha National Anthropology Honors Society; graduates
numerous Anthropology honors students each year; and invites all Emory students of Anthropology to participate in the Emory
Anthropology Student Society, which organizes exciting events and activities that foster a strong sense of community in the
Anthropology department. Please visit the Anthropology Department's website for information about courses, research opportunities,

Honors Program
Juniors who have a minimum cumulative GPA and major GPA of 3.5 are invited by the department to apply to join
the Honors Program as they preregister for their senior year. The Honors Program entails directed, original
research (Anthropology 495A and 495B), a thesis, an oral defense, and successful completion of a graduate
course.
Study Abroad
The Department of Anthropology strongly encourages its students to pursue study abroad. Study abroad is a rich
and invaluable educational opportunity, and is particularly desirable for the serious anthropology student. Students
who are interested in study abroad should contact Emory College Study Abroad. This office has information about
programs around the world and the types of classes available in these programs.
In order to ensure that majors receive the necessary breadth and specific vision that Emory's Department of
Anthropology offers, students may apply no more than twelve credit hours (three classes) of off-campus credit
toward any anthropology major. (This includes transfer credit from American schools, as well as study abroad.)
In order to obtain Emory credit for courses taken at another institution, students are strongly urged to seek course
credit equivalency approval before leaving Emory. Although students may submit courses for Emory credit post
facto, there is no guarantee that the courses taken will be approved by the department.
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 487
Finally, all approved credit is pending satisfactory completion of the course. To obtain Emory equivalency credit,
students should bring the appropriate Emory College Study Abroad form, along with syllabi or official course
descriptions to the Department of Anthropology Office (207 Anthropology Building). The more detailed the
information you can provide about the course, the better our ability to evaluate the course for credit. These
materials will be reviewed by the director of undergraduate studies in Anthropology, and credit will be approved or
denied. Petitions for course substitutions and waivers will be considered by the Anthropology Undergraduate
Concerns Committee. Applications are available in the Department of Anthropology office.
Independent Study
or Research
Anthropology students are encouraged to become engaged in research under the direction of a faculty member.
They may receive academic credit for research participation.
ART HISTORY DEPARTMENT
The Art History Department studies the forms, functions, meanings, and theoretical underpinnings of the visual arts, broadly construed
to encompass such activities as performance, construction, and installation as well as painting, sculpture, photography, and
architecture. Our department considers works of art in historically and culturally specific ways, situating them within systems of belief,
habits of visual literacy, practices of self-formation, social and political ideologies, patterns of sacred and secular discourse,
assumptions about intentionality and authority, and currencies of global and transnational exchange. We comprise four collaborative
faculty clusters: Ancient Mediterranean and American; Medieval/Renaissance/Baroque; Modern/Contemporary European, American,
and African; and Architectural Studies. As a department we strive to introduce students to a rich variety of approaches to art and its
study, to model for them analytical and critical thinking, and to encourage lucid writing and thoughtful response. At the graduate level, it
is our mission to train students in the methods and practices of the field and to prepare them for advanced, artwork-based,
interdisciplinary research with a respect for primary evidence and cultural contexts, past and present, so that they can successfully
pursue careers in academic or museum work with benefit for the broader community.

taught for credit at the host institution, they must meet contact hour requirements. All approved courses will earn one
semester hour of credit.
BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT
The discipline of biology allows us to understand ourselves and the world around us. This powerful science is discovering the basic
mysteries of life and has given us the practical tools to treat diseases, to increase the amount of food that we produce, and to preserve
our natural ecosystems. An education in biology offers an excellent preparation for careers in medicine or health care, biological
research, ecology, biotechnology, forensic science, as well as many other possibilities. The Department of Biology occupies state-of-
the-art laboratories in the O. Wayne Rollins Research Center. Faculty specializations include cell and developmental biology, genetics
and molecular biology, ecology and evolutionary biology, and neurobiology and behavior. As part of its primary commitment to
undergraduate education, the biology department actively fosters student participation in research with its faculty as well as through
cooperative arrangements with scientists at Emory University School of Medicine, the United States Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, and Yerkes National Primate Research Center. Biology department faculty are also heavily involved in programs leading to
a PhD. These programs are housed in the Graduate Division of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, and they include faculty from
several departments of Emory College and the School of Medicine.

questions we ask. They represent some of our deepest cultural roots and stand at the core of a liberal arts education. The Department
of Classics offers students an opportunity to study the languages, literature, culture, and influence of classical antiquity. General
courses include such topics as classical mythology, law, religion, women in antiquity, and Greek and Roman literature in translation.
Most of these courses have no prerequisites, and several fulfill Emory College General Education Requirements. For students
interested in Greek or Latin, language instruction is offered at all levels, from elementary to advanced, both in a classroom setting and
in individualized instruction. The department offers several majors and two minors as well as joint majors with other departments.
Students interested in integrating the study of Greece and Rome with other Mediterranean Civilizations are encouraged to consult the
Program in Ancient Mediterranean Studies in which the Department of Classics is an active participant.

Award
The department awards prizes annually to its top students in the ancient languages.
COMPARATIVE LITERATURE DEPARTMENT
Comparative Literature (commonly abbreviated as "Comp. Lit.") offers students the opportunity to pursue their love of literature beyond
national and disciplinary boundaries. It situates the study of literature in a 21st century global context that takes account of cultural and
linguistic diversity as well as changing technologies and new media. Majors study literary texts in at least one language other than
English, delving into works from the ancient as well as the modern world, and exploring cultural productions from non-Western
traditions as well as the so-called "great books" of the West. Students study literature's intersections with other media and disciplines
such as philosophy, religion, history, law, film studies, and psychoanalysis, and take courses in areas as varied as Exemplary Novels,
French poetry, Russian Film, Literature, Justice, Postcolonial Popular Culture, Disaster Literature or Latin American Magical Realism.
Comp. Lit. students also explore important theoretical questions: How do we define the human? How does language function in
society? What is the relationship between ethics and religion? How do new technologies require us to rethink social, political, and
ethical issues? How do we understand the relationship between history (events that happened) and memory (how we remember those
events)?

theoretical to foster students' creative, intellectual, and communicative powers in the field of dance. The Emory Dance Program
emphasizes performance and choreography, based on the primary tenets of modern dance, which value individualism, innovation, and
interdisciplinary approaches to the arts.
The study of dance is perhaps the most unique and all-encompassing pursuit in the fine arts. It involves the total exploration of the self-
emotional, intellectual, and kinesthetic. The program develops students' awareness and appreciation of movement in all its diverse
forms and their ability to communicate through non-verbal expression. Dance develops insights into a broad range of studies; therefore
it plays a viable role in the liberal arts education. Since dance is so multi-faceted, it enhances the student's preparation for a variety of
careers.
The Dance Program is housed within the Theater and Dance Department.

ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT
Economics seeks to understand and predict human action and choice. Economic theory rests on the idea that human action is
purposeful and best understood from the vantage point of a person choosing among explicitly defined alternatives. Economic theory
applies principles developed from the logic of choice to the resolution of interpersonal conflicts of interest and the coordination of
productive activity in a world of scarce resources. The study of economics equips students to analyze a broad range of social, political,
legal, and economic phenomena and public policy. The study of market regulation, environmental protection, economic growth and
development, financial markets, international trade and finance, the distribution of income, inflation, and the level of employment are the
stock in trade of economics. But economists also analyze a far broader set of issues, including the nature of the family, the origins of
civilizations, discrimination, crime, and the structures of law and politics. Economics provides a versatile background for postgraduate
professional or academic training. Economics offers a framework for the analysis of rules of liability and property rights and thus
undergirds much of the modern study of law and legal institutions. A growing number of law students find it useful to prepare for this
training by majoring in economics during their tenure as undergraduates. Economics also contains the theoretical core for business,
finance, accounting, and marketing and thus provides a solid foundation for postgraduate work in business administration. Many private
sector job opportunities are available for economics majors in the banking industry, brokerage houses, investment banks, insurance
companies, and law firms. Economics majors can work as financial analysts, risk management analysts, forecasters, or analyst staff
members in litigation or merger and acquisition departments. Economics majors can also work as policy analysts for one of the Federal
Reserve Banks as well as various government agencies at the federal, state, or local level.

Honors Program
The Honors Program is available to outstanding students in Economics, Economics/Mathematics, and
Economics/History. Students with a cumulative average of 3.50 (for all courses taken at Emory) at the end of their
third year may be invited to participate. The number of students admitted to the Honors Program is determined by
the Economics Department's capacity for advising honors theses, so a 3.5+ GPA does not automatically lead to
admission into the program. (Note that in recent years, typical GPA of invitees has exceeded 3.75.)
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 498
Administered by the Emory College Honors Committee, this program enables students to do intensive work in a
chosen area and, therefore, involves work that extends beyond ordinary course requirements and standards of
performance. Students must complete Economics 201, 212, and 220 previous to entering the Honors program (i.e.,
previous to the Fall Semester of their senior year). Students enrolled in the Honors program must complete either
Economics 420 or Economics 422 by the end of the Fall semester of their senior year. Preference will be given to
students who have completed Economics 420 or 422 by the end of their third year. Students enrolled in the Honors
program must complete Economics 495A during the Fall Semester of their senior year and may enroll in Economic
s
495B during the Spring Semester of their senior year.
An examination covering the honors work, including the thesis and allied fields, is given upon completion of the
program. One examiner must be chosen from outside the department. Examiners recommend t
he degree of honors
(honors, high honors, highest honors) to the Honors Committee. Honors (cum laude) represents satisfactory
completion of the program, together with an overall average of 3.50. High Honors (magna cum laude) represents
completion of the program with outstanding performance, including an overall average of 3.50 and a thesis of
quality sufficient for oral presentation to scholars in the candidate's field. Highest Honors (summa cum laude)
represents completion of the program with exceptional performance, including an overall average of 3.50 and a
thesis of a quality suitable for submission for publication.
A student may complete Honors in the joint Mathematics/Economics major by completing the requirements for
Honors either in the Mathematics D
epartment or in the Economics Department. Participation in the Honors Program
in both departments is by invitation only. The student's Honors committee must include at least one faculty member
from the Economics Department, one faculty member from the Mathematics Department, and one faculty
department from a department other than either the Economics or the Mathematics Departments.
Study Abroad
Students interested in a study abroad program are encouraged to contact Emory College Study Abroad and reviw
the Economics Department Rules on Study Abroad.
Internship
Internship Information
The Economics Department offers an internship course, ECONOMICS 449, which is open only to economics
majors and minors. Students are enrolled by permission only and they must have already completed
ECONOMICS
201, 212, and 220. The course carries two credit hours taken on an S/U basis and it will not count toward the 10
courses you need to satisfy the majors requirements. The Economics department internship can be taken during
the fall, spring or summer semester.
To register for the course, which is by permission only, the students are required to download the registration form
(click here to download the form) and talk to their faculty advisors about the internship opportunity when they
schedule courses during pre-registration. The advisor checks the prerequisites and approves the internship
provided that it is compatible with the student's course of study. In a similar fashion, minors secure permission from
the Director of Undergraduate Studies. The completed internship form must be turned into the Undergraduate
Program Coordinator to register. Once registered the student reports to the faculty in charge of the internship
course.
A report discussing how the internship experi
ence related to your economic training and in what ways it helped your
professional development is to be turned in to the course faculty or the Undergraduate Program Coordinator on the
last day of classes for the semester enrolled. See the Undergraduate Program Coordinator for further details.
Students who would like to get internship credit over the summer at reduced cost should see Emory College's
Summer Internship Program at: http://college.emory.edu/oue/academic-programs/internships/index.html. Here the
students earn college credit (rather than economics credit) but at a much lower tuition cost.
This area should be used to describe any internship information that students should be aware of, specific
opportunities, requirements, etc.
Award
ODE - Omicron Delta Epsilon - is the economics honor society. ODE is dedicated to promoting excellence in
economics by recognizing outstanding achievements and by encouraging professional exchange among students,
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 499
faculty, and professionals in our discipline. The requirements for membership are a minimum overall grade point
average of 3.25 and an average of 3.60 or higher in at least 16 credit hours of economics courses. ODE organizes
several events annually including the spring induction banquet, dinners with faculty, and career-related information
sessions.
Three prizes are awarded by the Department annually: (1) the Jack and Lewis Greenhut Award for excellence in
economics and promise for graduate studies; (2) the Tate Whitman Award in Economics for analytic clarity,
personal integrity, and leadership; and (3) the George Benston and Richard F. Muth Award for intellectual curiosity,
passion, and skill in economic analysis.
EMORY COLLEGE SEMINARS
ENGLISH DEPARTMENT
The study of literature, how writers produce it, and how it affects individuals and society is essential to a liberal arts education. Literary
study also may explore the effects of history, religion, science, philosophy, and other disciplines upon readers and writers of different
times and places. Emory's program gives undergraduates knowledge of the different genres and periods of British, American, and other
Anglophone literatures and of literature as an index to culture in the broadest sense. It also stresses instruction in the techniques of
analysis, research, and writing. It provides an educational foundation of critical thinking, sound judgment, and clear writing valuable to
students planning careers in business, teaching, law, medicine, or other fields.

FILM AND MEDIA DEPARTMENT
We are surrounded by moving images-on television, in movie theaters, on our computers, and even in electronic billboards. If you can
understand the ways in which media communicate visually and with sound, you can become a more media literate, perceptive,
discerning and skeptical citizen in the globalized 21st century.
The mission of the Film and Media Studies Department is to teach students how to make this kind of media literacy a part of their
everyday lives by always thinking critically about the ways in which images and sounds create ideas. We train undergraduate and
graduate students to be discerning consumers, scholars and producers of our most influential cultural forms, by grounding them in a
thorough knowledge of American and international film and television history, the practices of media theory and criticism, as well as
familiarizing them with the tools and methodologies of fiction and documentary filmmaking.
Our medium-sized department provides students with close mentoring and an individually tailored course of study. Our majors and
minors are highly motivated, passionately enthusiastic and thoroughly trained in the perception and interpretation of moving images,
and as well as the skills necessary to communicate their ideas orally and in writing.
Our majors and minors go on to careers in medicine, the law, business, publishing, the media entertainment industry (television
networks, talent agencies, production companies) and academia, armed with the critical thinking skills that are the hallmark of an
interdisciplinary liberal arts education. They are well prepared for whatever career they choose to pursue. In short, the Film and Media
Studies Department plays a crucial role in the mission of Emory's College: to prepare students "to be responsible and well-informed
citizens of the world.

Majors in French are strongly encouraged to spend at least one semester, usually during their junior year, abroad
in one of the department's approved programs. The department conducts its own summer program in Paris and
sponsors a semester/year program in Paris with Duke and Cornell, EDUCO. Students enrolled in the latter
program may choose from a wide variety of classes offered both at the EDUCO center and at several French
institutions, including three branches of the University of Paris, I, IV, and VII. Selected students also may study at
the prestigious Institut des Sciences Polit
iques (year program only). The department gives credit toward the French
studies major or minor only for classes taken through an Emory program. However, in specific cases, and upon
preapproval by the French director of undergraduate studies and the Emory College Study Abroad office, some
credit may be earned overseas in programs sponsored by other institutions that offer courses or career
opportunities not available through Emory.
Award

Honors Program
Qualified German Studies majors are encouraged to consider writing an honors thesis their senior year.
Preparation for the thesis should already begin during the fall semester of the junior year when possible directions
and topics for the thesis should be discussed with departmental faculty and a research timeline can be established
to complete the thesis by mid-March of their senior year. Interested students should also be aware of the funding
opportunities in Emory College through the SIRE program or the Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry to support
honor's thesis work. Students writing an honor's thesis are encouraged to present their research at the annual
Undergraduate Research Symposium in April of their senior year.
Study Abroad
All undergraduate students at Emory are invited and all students in German are encouraged to participate in the
department's summer program in Vienna, Austria (see German 370A/B), which provides cultural immersion as well
intensive language instruction. Students majoring in German studies are strongly urged to spend a regular
semester or the junior year with an approved program of study in a German-speaking country. Programs are
currently available in Freiburg, Berlin, and Vienna; for details contact the Emory College Study Abroad Office or the
Department of German Studies.
Advising
For further assistance regarding studying German at Emory, contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies in the
department. The Director of Undergraduate Studies also serves as the advisor to all majors and minors.
Internship
US-GERMAN INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
In conjunction with the American Chamber of Commerce in Germany, the department is pleased to offer its own
summer internship program that arranges summer positions in Germany for up to five students each year. Contact
the Director of Undergraduate Studies in the department for more information.
Award
Each year the Department of German Studies recognizes outstanding achievement in German by awarding DER
SPRACHPREIS FOR GERMAN LANGUAGE ACQUISITION, the GERMAN STUDIES AWARD FOR
EXCELLENCE, and the PRIZE FOR YIDDISH LANGUAGE ACQUISITION. In addition, the Emory College
Language Center awards a prize each year for excellence in the study of German.
HISTORY DEPARTMENT
At Emory, history is a discipline belonging to both the humanities and the social sciences. On the undergraduate level, its study is
aimed not so much at training future historians as at training students to think historically. This involves the mastery of a certain amount
of factual information, but never as an end in itself. Thinking historically means learning how to deal critically with evidence and to
recognize relationships in order to understand that our own times are what they are because of the past. The history department offers
a large number of individual courses in American and European history plus coverage of Latin America, Africa, East Asia (China and
Japan), and the Near East (including Israel).

Honors Program
History majors and joint majors with a 3.50 cumulative average and a 3.50 major average in their junior year are
eligible to apply to participate in the History honors program. Eligible students will be expected to complete a short
application for admission into the History honors program in the first semester of their junior year. Exception
s to the
3.50 cumulative-average requirement require a formal petition, in conjunction with the Department Honors
Coordinator, to the College Honors Committee.
Though normally beginning in the JUNIOR year for majors, the honors program is a SENIOR-year (two semester)
program within the College; therefore, students will not be OFFICIALLY admitted to the honors program until the
fall of their senior year (with the exception of second-semester juniors who expect to graduate the following fall).
The Department, however, will expect its honors students to begin their honors studies in the spring of their
JUNIOR year, barring extraordinary circumstances. Requests for late admission (in the spring semester of the
junior year) require a petition to the Department Honors Coordinator explaining the special circumstances for the
late admission (study abroad, late declaration of major, etc.). The History Department is flexible on sequencing but
we wish to stress the importance of beginning the program in the student's junior year.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
A MINIMUM OF 12 HISTORY COURSES
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 505
Including at least 8 courses at or above the 300 level and at least 2 courses outside the student's major
concentration field (European, World or U.S. history).
No history courses may be taken S/U to be credited to the honors requirements.
3 COURSES OF REQUIRED HONORS-PROGRAM COURSES (included in the 12 courses required for the
history major) Hist.495A, a 500-level graduate seminar, and Hist.495BW.
HISTORY 495A, "INTRODUCTION TO HISTORICAL INTERPRETATION," is a required course of the History
honors program. Although offered in both Fall and Spring semesters, History 495A is normally taken in the Spring
semester of the junior year and must be taken by the end of the Fall semester of the senior year. The course
addresses historiographical and methodological issues and offers practical guidance in thesis design and research.
A 500-LEVEL GRADUATE SEMINAR is normally taken in the Spring semester of the junior year or the Fall
semester of the senior year. Students who wish to take their graduate seminar in another semester due to its
greater suitability to their thesis topic may petition the Department Honors Coordinator for an exception. If no
appropriate graduate seminar is being offered at any time in the year, candidates may petition to substitute an
undergraduate colloquium to be taken as History 596R "Special Studies." Honors students may use graduate
seminar courses (500-level) to fulfill the history major colloquia requirement; however, graduate seminars do not
meet the College continuing writing requirement.
HISTORY 495BW is the thesis-
writing section of History 495. Normally, this course is taken in the spring semester
of the senior year (i.e., in the student's last undergraduate semester) and is organized around the writing of the
honors thesis.
PROJECT PROPOSAL
Students will submit an honors project proposal (normally completed in the honors seminar, Hist.495A) to the
Department and their thesis advisor, ON OR BEFORE THE LAST MONDAY IN APRIL of the junior year (or the
LAST MONDAY OF NOVEMBER of the senior year for late admissions to the Department honors program).
HONORS THESIS
An honors thesis, usually BETWEEN 40 AND 60 PAGES, based on original research (as per the College honors
program specifications) must be completed in conjunction with the College honors program deadlines.
Note on Joint Major Requirements
Please note that JOINT MAJORS (History/Art History, Classics/History, English/History, Religion/History) must
choose to follow the honors program requirements of ONE OF THE JOINT MAJORS and adhere to the joint-
major honors examination procedures (below).
THESIS EXAMINATION COMMITTEE
FOR HISTORY MAJORS
The thesis examining committee will be composed of three faculty members, one of whom must be from a
department other than history. The examination will be oral and will cover the thesis.
FOR JOINT MAJORS
The thesis examining committee will be composed of three faculty members: one from the history department, one
from the joint-major department, and one from outside both of the joint- major departments. The examination will
be oral and will cover the thesis.
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 506
Study Abroad
Study abroad course approval and evaluation of credit: The history department does not pre-approve study
abroad
courses. To receive Emory history credit for study abroad courses, the student must: 1)take a history course in a
history department in an approved study abroad university; and, 2)submit written work following dept. guidelines for

INSTITUTE OF THE LIBERAL ARTS DEPARTMENT
This major is for independently minded, motivated students, who have a desire to study an individualized topic that draws on two or
more disciplinary methodologies.
The history of Emory's ILA, which dates back to the 1950s , has included various programs in innovative interdisciplinary education and
research, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The ILA has always had a strong commitment to faculty collaborations that
cross disciplinary boundaries, and to public and experimental forms of scholarship. As an institute committed to the exploration of forms
of knowledge that are enriched by dialogue across disciplines and departments, the ILA seeks to be a catalyst for intellectual
conversations aimed at understanding the cohesion and potential of the liberal arts, and the significance and social responsibilities of
science and scholarship in the 21
st
century.
Recent students in the ILA have used the Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) and American Studies (AMST) Majors to focus on an array of
student-designed topics, from art history and politics, to biases in the treatment in U.S. high school history texts of the WWII internment
of Japanese Americans.
When they declare, majors are assigned faculty co-advisors, generally including the DUS or one of the core IDS faculty, and a faculty
member from any department with specific expertise in the student's area of interdisciplinary research. The co-advisors will work closely
with each student to complete an IDS or AMST proposal that specifies relevant courses as major requirements, subject to revisions to
be approved by both co-advisors.
Undergraduate interdisciplinary study proceeds on the hypothesis that some, if not all, subjects require methodologies, evidence, or
texts drawn from more than one discipline, if they are to be understood deeply. Three pillars structure each student's experience in the
undergraduate programs of the ILA:
- a critical perspective on the history, inter-relationship, and contested nature of disciplinary boundaries, specifically with reference to
social structures of education and higher education
- a focus on writing as a crucial dimension of fully engaged reading, understanding, and public scholarship
- vibrant co-teaching as a model and embodiment of interdisciplinary inquiry and learning at the undergraduate level

Honors Program
Honors students, identified in their Junior year in their work in IDS 390 will take a minimum of one, and will be
encouraged to take two semesters of IDS 495R or AMST 495R Honors Research. During the fall term the students
will meet in a seminar-like setting on a weekly basis with the aim of producing a significant first draft of their future
Honors project. This project will be further researched and revised during an (optional) spring semester of 495R.
Study Abroad
The IDS and AMST programs encourage study abroad and understanding of other cultures. In consultation with
the director of undergraduate studies, study-abroad courses can be counted toward the IDS or AMST major
concentration course requirements.
Internship
The IDS and AMST programs recognize that there can be real value to integrating the theory of academic studies
with the practice of real-world experience, or in learning more about a prospective vocation through an internship.
We therefore offer IDS 485R and AMST 496 as a permission-only variable credit courses every semester
(including summer). Please contact for details.
ITALIAN STUDIES PROGRAM
The Italian Studies program is an interdisciplinary program based in the Department of French and Italian, with academic links to
several other Emory College of Arts and Sciences departments. The program takes pride in the close faculty/student teaching and
mentoring relationships fostered. We offer a wide range of excellent study abroad programs in Italy, both during the summer as well as
during the Fall and Spring semesters.

JEWISH STUDIES PROGRAM
The Jewish studies program examines Jews and Judaism from the perspective of different disciplines in the humanities and social
sciences, such as history, religious studies, language and linguistics, literature, theology, political science, and anthropology. This
interdisciplinary approach has two objectives: first, to train students in understanding various aspects of Jews and Judaism; and
second, to expose students to the serious investigation of topics with different disciplines and methodologies. The program offers a
unique opportunity to pursue a high-quality liberal arts education while providing an excellent foundation for students who would like to
pursue Jewish studies in graduate school, enroll in a rabbinical program, or work in Jewish organizations and communities. Students
who major in Jewish studies will take nine courses and also will gain advanced language proficiency in Hebrew or another Judaic
language.

LINGUISTICS PROGRAM
Linguistics, the systematic scientific study of human language and communication, is a broad field that investigates a range of
questions regarding the remarkable fact that humans produce and use language. At Emory University we take an interdisciplinary
approach, looking at language in relation to cognition, culture, social identity, history, philosophy, and aesthetics. Our questions include:
What enables humans to produce and understand sentences that they have never heard before? What are the basic building blocks of
human languages? How do children learn language? How do people use language in multilingual contexts? How are patterns of
thinking shaped by language? Why do languages change over time? How do meanings get attached to words? The Program in
Linguistics faculty are based in numerous departments across the college, representing the contemporary field of linguistics, as it is
situated at the intersection of the social sciences and the humanities. The program directs a minor in linguistics, a major in linguistics,
and a joint major in psychology and linguistics and coordinates a Linguistics Study Abroad Program in Amsterdam. The program
facilitates academic discussion on language and linguistics on campus and sponsors events connected to linguistics. The program also
sponsors an annual Linguistics Student Research Symposium. Students are encouraged to check the program webpage at
www.linguistics.emory.edu for updates on programs of study (majors and minor), courses, and events.

Honors Program
The Honors Program in Linguistics is intended to provide a select group of students with experience in conducting
research focused on the study of human language. Generally, this research will fall primarily within one or more of
the three orientations identified in the Major in Linguistics: cognitive, structural or sociocultural (contextual)
approaches to the study of language. Students with an overall grade point average of at least 3.5 in the first three
years and with at least a 3.5 GPA in their major courses will be notified by the Program in Linguistics in the Spring
of their junior year that they are eligible to participate in the Linguistics Honors Program, and will be invited to an
orientation meeting which will fully explain the program. Students will be responsible for defining a project and
finding a faculty member who is willing to serve as advisor.
Study Abroad
The Amsterdam exchange program offers students the opportunity to take a range of courses taught in English
while exploring Dutch culture and one of the world's great multicultural and multilingual cities. Students who are
majors in linguistics are encouraged to take coursework abroad as part of their Emory academic degree program.
Emory students can choose to study at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU) or Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA).
Please contact Emory College Study Abroad or the Program in Linguistics for more information.
Advising
Majors are assigned an academic advisor and should meet with that advisor on a regular basis to discuss courses
to take to meet the requirements for the major. In addition, students should talk to their advisors about future
career plans if they include graduate training, as there may be additional courses they should take for entrance to
graduate school. Advisors will be available during Pre-registration. Sign-up sheets are placed outside each
advisor's office in the weeks before Pre-
registration. It is strongly advised that students sign up as early as possible
for advising. However, advisors often have more time to spend with students at times other than Pre-registration.
Please take advantage of these times when scheduling appointments.
Language Study
Linguistics majors and minors are required to take two foreign language courses.
1. Two courses in one foreign language at the 200-level or above or
2. Two courses in two different foreign languages at any level, with approval from the Director of Undergraduate
Studies.
NOTE: Students participating in the Amsterdam Study Abroad Program may use introductory Dutch to satisfy one
semester of this requirement.
Award

Study Abroad
UNIVERSITY OF ST. ANDREWS, SCOTLAND
BRAIN STEM (SPRING AND FALL COURSES)
The Emory Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology Program (NBB) and the University of St. Andrews Schools of
Biology and Psychology have established a unique type of study abroad exchange program. The "Brain StEm"
Program, represents the creation of a true "sister school" relationship between the extremely strong neuroscience
and behavioral sciences programs at the two institutions. Emory's NBB Program is one of the largest
undergraduate programs in North America with over 300 majors and seventy-five faculty members. The
neuroscience program at University of St Andrews is a joint undertaking of the Schools of Biology and Psychology
which both recently received top ratings from RAE, the national audit of research quality in UK university
departments. What does all this mean for the students? By implementing "The Institute of Behavioral and Neural
Sciences", rather than an a la carte approach to selecting courses, a coherent program of pre-approved courses
has been put into place. Overall curriculum and appropriate courses have been evaluated and selected by the
faculty of each institution and faculty advisors are in place at Emory and St. Andrews to assist the students
participating in "Brain StEm". Here at Emory this translates into a study abroad program that provides pre-
approved equivalents for: NBB 301 and 401, required core courses; NBB 221, the statistics and experimental
design course which is a prerequisite for undergraduate research; and twenty-fiv
e University of St. Andrew courses
which can serve as electives for the NBB major!
MPHIL IN NBB (MASTERS IN PHILOSOPHY- 1 YEAR)
Building upon the successful Brain StEm program, Emory and St. Andrews are offering a 4+1 BS (Emory) MPhil
(St. Andrews) research-based NBB degree combination. To qualify, Emory NBB majors must have a 3.5 GPA and
have an invitation from one of the St. Andrews participating professors, or graduate from Emory with honors in
NBB. The first year of the normally two-year MPhil program will be waived, allowing qualifying NBB BS graduates
to complete their Masters degree in one year. Contact the NBB office for further information.
EMORY MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY SCIENCE EXPERIENCE (E.M.U.S.E)
A program that has been designed specifically for Emory Biology, Chemistry, and NBB students in their junior and
senior year who are interested in spending a semester abroad in Melbourne, Australia. As a student program, you
will undertake a research-focused study abroad experience while also taking biology, neuroscience, or chemistry
courses offered Fall and Spring semesters: Semester 1 runs from early February to mid June; Semester 2 runs
from early July to Mid November. This program is ran in conjunction with the Department of Anatomy and Cell
Biology and the Department of Chemistry at the University of Melbourne. For more information please contact the
NBB office.
NBB STUDY ABROAD IN FRANCE (SUMMER)
Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology program is offering a unique opportunity to study in Paris for a 5-week
program that will connect the rich history of French neurology with contemporary neuroscience research. Students
will couple in-class discussions with a variety of extracurricular outings to locations that illustrate France's role in
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 520
early Neurology (e.g. Hopital de la Salpetriere) and its current research interests (e.g. Institut Curie or La Cite des
Sciences). This program allows for completion of one NBB core course and one NBB elective. Please note: No
French language proficiency is required.
Students are encouraged to have a GPA minimum of 3.0 for the above study abroad programs.
Advising
Each NBB major is assigned an academic advisor. It is imperative that students meet with their advisers at least
once a semester to discuss courses that meet the requirements of the major. In addition, students should talk to
their advisors about future career plans; i.e., graduate school, medical school, etc., as there may be additional
courses they should take for entrance to graduate school. Advisors will be available during pre-registration as well
as by appointment. However, advisors will often have more time to spend with students at times other than pre-
registration. Students should take advantage of these times in scheduling appointments with their advisors.
The NBB office has an open-door policy to assist students in receiving information needed to further their
undergraduate academic education.
PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT
Philosophy is the study of fundamental questions concerning the nature of what is and what ought to be. The basis of the study of
philosophy is the ancient search for self-knowledge and the love of wisdom. In Plato's Dialogues, Socrates says, "Wonder is the feeling
of a philosopher, and philosophy begins in wonder." The study of philosophy employs the human capacity to reflect, reason, and make
critical judgments in order to consider questions such as: What is the good? What is justice? What is the nature of reality? What if
anything can be known for certain? What is the nature of beauty? What is the meaning of human history and human life? Philosophy
also examines the principles of logical, scientific, and religious thought, and the great systems of nature and culture employed in the
search for truth. Students majoring in philosophy often enter the fields of law, medicine, or business. For these fields a background in
logic, ethics, and critical thinking is particularly important. Some students who major in philosophy pursue graduate study in philosophy
leading to positions in university teaching. On the graduate level, the department offers programs leading to master of arts and doctor of
philosophy degrees.

Although the BA and BS programs have different objectives, both emphasize the basic principles of physics and their applications, an
analytical approach to problem solving including the use of mathematical methods, and direct experience with physics laboratory and
research techniques. The instructional facilities of the Department of Physics, housed in the new Mathematics and Science Center,
include general and advanced physics laboratories; optics, analog and digital electronics, and microprocessor laboratories; and two
observational astronomy facilities. One facility is a ten-station rooftop observing deck with small reflecting telescopes used for
introductory astronomy. The other primary facility is the Emory observatory, which houses a research-grade, twenty-four-inch
Cassegrain telescope for use in advanced astrophysics and astronomy courses. Faculty research laboratories and computer equipment
are available to students engaged in research projects in condensed matter physics, biophysics, and nonlinear dynamics. Other
specialized teaching facilities for physics and astronomy include a one-hundred-and-eighty seat lecture demonstration theater, a sixty-
seat Zeiss Planetarium classroom, and a sixteen-station computational physics classroom/laboratory. The graduate school offers the
master of science and doctor of philosophy degrees in physics.

Honors Program
See "Honors Program" under the curriculum section of the catalog and consult the department for further details.
Chapters of Sigma Pi Sigma, the national physics honor society, and the Society of Physics Students offer
recognition and sponsored activities.
Study Abroad
Several students each year participate in study abroad programs, typically for one semester. The Director of
Undergraduate Studies works with students to fit such programs into their four-year-plan.
Advising
For advising, set up an appointment with the Director of Undergraduate Studies.?????? You do not need to be
majoring or minoring in physics to meet with the DUS.
Ind
ependent Study
or Research
Many physics majors participate in research, although this is not a requirement. Research can be done for
academic credit (Phys 499R). This class can be repeated multiple times, and can count as an elective toward the
major or minor (although only as one elective, even if taken multiple times). Research can also be done for pay;
this is typically arranged between the supervising faculty member and the student. The most typical case is to do
research for credit during the academic year and for pay during the summer. Students who meet the appropriate
GPA requirements can opt to do a research honors thesis during their senior year. For more information about
participating in research or doing an honors thesis, consult with the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
POLITICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
The Department offers two distinct majors: Political Science and International Studies. Political Science fields of study include American
government and politics, international relations, political philosophy, and comparative politics. The interdisciplinary concentration that is
International Studies provides a broad background in foreign language and culture, politics, history, and economics and may appeal to
students interested in journalism, teaching, international business, or government service. For information on preparation for law
school, consult the Studying Law at Emory page.

Honors Program
See "Honors Program" under the curriculum section of the catalog and consult the department for further details.
Outstanding students majoring in political science or international studies are invited by the department in the
spring semester of their junior year to submit materials for consideration for the political science honors program
the following year. Invitations are extended to students selected from this group. The program is a yearlong
curriculum in which students successfully complete a political science graduate or senior seminar, conduct original
research on a topic of their own choosing, and write an honors thesis under the direction of a political science
faculty member. Honors students also must enroll in the honors tutorial seminar in the fall semester. Consult the
department or director of undergraduate studies for more details.
Study Abroad
The Department strongly encourages its majors to consider studying abroad at some point in their studies. For
specifics, consult Emory College Study Abroad and the director of undergraduate studies.
Advising
Students who declare a major are assigned a faculty advisor in the department who may be consulted on any
matter pertaining to a student's progress. It is the student's responsibility to seek out his or her advisor as needed
in the course of the academic year.
Language Study
The International Studies major requires two years of college-level study of a modern foreign language, or the
equivalent.
Internship
Students who have sufficient background in political science courses are eligible to apply for government/political
internships approved by the Department of Political Science. Students have served as interns in the White House;
the offices of members of Congress, governors, and lieutenant-governors; in state legislatures; and in other state,
county, and city offices. Students also may serve as interns in programs at The Carter Center. Students may earn
up to twelve semester hours of political science internship credit, but a maximum of four semester hours may be
used to satisfy the requirements of the political science major and a maximum of four semester hours may be used
to satisfy the requirements of the international studies major.
Award
Outstanding students majoring in political science and international studies are invited by the department to join Pi
Sigma Alpha, the national political science honor society. In addition, the Elliott Levitas Award for outstanding
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 524
accomplishment in political science is presented annually to a senior major who exemplifies excellence in political
science or international studies.
Independent Study
or Research
Independent research with faculty is available through the department's Directed Study course, and from time to
time other research opportunities with faculty are available.
PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT
The Department of Psychology emphasizes the scientific study of behavior. The major offers students a balanced curriculum in
experimental, social/personality/clinical, neuroscience/animal behavior, and cognitive/developmental areas. Faculty members are
actively engaged in teaching, and they conduct research that addresses important questions with state-of-the-art methods.
Opportunities for independent study and research projects under faculty guidance are readily available.

Honors Program
The Honors Program is an Emory College program intended to give a highly qualified group of students more
extensive experience in
conducting behavioral research. Students with an overall average of at least 3.5 in the first
three years and with at least a 3.5 in the major subject will automatically be notified in the Spring of their junior year
that they are eligible to participate, and will be invited to a meeting which will fully explain the program.
During the senior year, each Honors student in Psychology conducts an independent research project. In concert
with a faculty advisor from the Psychology Department, the student collects and analyzes data, prepares an
Honors thesis based on the data, and defends the thesis in front of a committee of three faculty members. This
committee recommends Honors, High Honors, or Highest Honors to be granted to the student's degree. During
Commencement weekend, Honors students will participate in a college-wide Honors ceremony.
Students must arrange to work with a faculty advisor before the beginning of their senior year. Normally, an
arrangement should be reached before the end of the student's junior year. Faculty members almost always give
preference to students whom they know - either from volunteer work in their laboratory or from a small class.
Students who think they may be eligible and interested in the Honors Program are therefore encouraged to get to
know a faculty member during their sophomore and junior years. Volunteering in a professor's laboratory also
assists students in making more informed decisions about whether or not to participate in Honors.
Honors students must have completed the Statistics and Laboratory Methods classes by the end of their junior
year. In the fall of their senior year, Honors students enroll in PSYC 495A, and receive 3 hours of credit for
participating in this weekly class. In the spring, they may receive variable credit under PSYC 495BWR for
continuing work on their Honors project. Honors students are also required to take a graduate level course in
Psychology during their senior year.
Study Abroad
Emory students may choose to take a semester abroad through programs approved by Emory College Study
Abroad
. Students considering studying abroad should contact the Study Abroad office (7-2240) for a list of Emory
and non-Emory programs. In some cases, it may be possible for psychology courses taken through one of these
programs to be included in the ten courses required for the major. Students should understand that it may not be
possible to take courses toward the major while abroad depending on the courses that are offered by the host
institution. Acceptance by Emory College Study Abroad into a study abroad program does not guarantee that
appropriate courses will be available in the major. Courses taken abroad will not automatically count toward the
major. Courses must be approved in writing before the student goes abroad and returning students must bring
back a syllabus for the course as well as additional supporting evidence, including textbooks or readings used,
papers written or copies of exams.
Advising
A/P Credit:
Students who received a score of 5 on the AP Examination in Psychology will be granted an exemption from PSYC
111. The student will still be required to complete 12 additional courses in the major, including the first half of the
Introductory Requirement, PSYC 110.
Transfer Credit:
Students who took a one-semester Intro course at another college will probably receive credit for PSYC 111. The
student will be required to take 11 additional courses in the major, including the first half of the Introductory
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 526
Requirement, PSYC 110. Students may transfer no more than four (4) psychology courses to the Emory
undergraduate major.
Course Time Table:
Both PSYC 110 and 111 must be completed by the end of the junior year.
QTM 100 must be completed by the end of the first semester of the junior year.
PSYC 200 must be completed by the end of the junior year; this course may not be taken in the semester the
student plans to graduate
Internship
The Psychology Department does not offer internships, nor does it give academic credit for internships completed
elsewhere.
Award
Membership in Psi Chi, the National Honor Society in Psychology, is open to students studying psychology who
meet the minimum qualifications. Emory's chapter of Psi Chi is operated by student officers and a faculty advisor.
Eligible students are invited to membership during the fall and spring semesters. Throughout the year, Psi Chi
offers programs, speakers and workshops on topics of interest to Psychology majors which are open to all
interested students.
Independent Study
or Research
We encourage majors to enroll in Directed Research (PSYC 499R/494R) and Directed Reading (PSYC 498R).
One enrollment in PSYC 499R or PSYC 494R for 3 or more credit hours may be counted as an elective towards
the twelve courses required for the major. Directed research (working in a psychology laboratory under the
supervision of a faculty member) and reading (writing a literature review of a special topic) courses must be
directed by approved Psychology department faculty. A list of regular faculty members of the Psychology
Department who are eligible to supervise PSYC 498R and PSYC 499R may be found on the back of the 498/499
form. Only faculty members whose names are on this list may supervise 498R/499R work. Permission is required
for enrollment in 498R or 499R. Contracts are available in Suite 270, and must be completed prior to enrollment.
Enrollment must be completed before the end of the drop/add/swap period. Students must register for these
courses prior to the close of the schedule change period each term.
INSTITUTE FOR QUANTITATIVE THEORY AND METHODS
The Institute for Quantitative Theory and Methods promotes the teaching, learning, and use of quantitative analysis across all
disciplines.
Quantitative skills-statistical, mathematical and computational techniques-are increasingly important and essential in a wide variety of
disciplines and careers. As a result, the demand for applied quantitative training with a substantive focus is strong and growing. While
most quantitative training at the undergraduate level remains concentrated in math and statistics departments, QuanTM's
interdisciplinary and applied focus is designed to broaden access to those skills.
Along with the Quantitative Sciences major and new joint major, Applied Math and Statistics, QuanTM runs a college-wide statistics
course; offers fellowships for undergraduates, pre-doctoral students, and visiting faculty; leads a faculty skill-building program; oversees
a student-run statistical consulting service; and hosts a number of themed speaker and workshop series.

RELIGION DEPARTMENT
The study of religion is among the oldest pursuits in human intellectual history. Each of the world's living religions has a long and rich
history of scholarship on its sacred texts and interpretive traditions. The curriculum in the Department of Religion involves a dynamic
combination of traditional textual study, ethnographic engagement, historical reflection, and theory-practice learning. Courses are
designed to introduce students to the origins and historical developments of ancient religious systems as well as the living religions of
the world. Equally important, courses in the department and related programs provide a context for stepping back from the "inside" of a
particular religion in order to study aspects of religion comparatively and thematically across traditions (e.g., religion in public life,
religion and gender, religion and culture, religion and conflict). Religion majors and minors include students seeking careers in
medicine, law, and the sciences, as well as those whose interests lie more in the humanities and liberal arts. Faculty in the Department
of Religion are deeply committed to interdisciplinary work and thinking, and expect the same of their students. Many of our faculty
members co-teach their courses with faculty in other disciplines in order to enliven their thinking about a particular topic. Faculty are
also engaged in the Emory community, working on educational and scholarly projects with student groups. Faculty have designed
student internships with the religious communities of Atlanta, and field trips and site visits are a regular component of many Emory
religion classes. We are also an intentionally pluralist community--with no single "majority" of scholars studying one particular religious
tradition or using one particular method of study. Faculty numbers are equally strong in Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism,
Buddhism, and American studies. There is growing strength in African American religions, as well as ethnography of religions and the
study of comparative sacred texts. Thanks to the high engagement of faculty in interdisciplinary work, the department now is
participating in several University initiatives in contemplative studies; religion and conflict; religion and health; religion and sexuality; and
religion and the arts. Students are highly encouraged to take part in these initiatives. More than half the faculty members have been
recognized for excellence in teaching. The department also hosts fifteen associated faculty from other departments, including History,
Classics, Political Science, Art History, Philosophy, Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and Middle Eastern and South Asian
Studies. The Graduate Division of Religion, the Institute of the Liberal Arts, Candler School of Theology, the Marial Center (Myth and
Ritual in American Life), The Carter Center, The Center for Law and Religion, and the American Academy of Religion at Emory
University enrich the academic environment and provide additional faculty resources for undergraduate students of religion. The
department also has important connections with centers of learning from within the religious traditions, such as the Aquinas Center for
Catholic Studies, the Drepung Loseling Institute for Buddhist Studies, and the Jewish Community Center of Atlanta

Honors Program
See "Honors Program" under the curriculum section of the catalog and consult the department for further details.
The Honors Program affords students the opportunity for long-term, in-depth research on a topic of their interest.
Together with a faculty adviser, students plan a rigorous program of scholarly reading and writing. Topics have
ranged from historical analysis and textual exegesis to theological treatises and ethnographic studies. Students
with a cumulative average of 3.50 at the end of their first three years of study are eligi
ble and may be invited by the
Department of Religion to participate in the Honors Program. In consultation with a departmental faculty director,
students will choose two additional faculty members to serve on their honors committee. The honors committee
must include one member from outside the Department of Religion and, in the case of joint majors, the committee
must include one faculty member from outside both departments. A minimum of two successive semesters of
Honors Directed Reading (REL 495R) is required for the honors degree. The department strongly encourages the
student to find and take a graduate seminar related to the honors topic. Successful honors candidates are awarded
the degree with honors, high honors, or highest honors. The Department of R
eligion hosts a chapter of Theta Alpha
Kappa, the national religious studies honor society. Local membership is determined by grade average and class
standing as set forth by the national council.
Award
The department's prizes and awards include the William A. Beardslee Prize in Religious Literature for the best
paper on religion submitted in a course offered by Emory College; the Vaddadi R. Rao Prize for overall excellence
in the field of religion, limited to department majors; and the John Fenton Prizes in the Comparative Study of
Religion for undergraduate and graduate student scholarship in the comparative study of religion.
RUSSIAN AND EAST ASIAN LANGUAGES AND CULTURES (CHINESE, JAPANESE, KOREAN,
RUSSIAN)
The Department of Russian and East Asian Languages and Cultures (REALC) is an interdisciplinary department dedicated to the study
of languages and cultures in the geographic continuum from Eastern Europe through Eastern Asia. Our four concentrations are on the
Russian Federation, the largest country spatially on the globe; China, the most populous country; Japan, the world's second-largest
economy; and Korea, one of the world's fastest growing economies. The region covered by REALC plays an increasingly critical role in
global dynamics, and the department's goal is to prepare students for the complex realities of the twenty-first century. Departmental
offerings bridge East and West, and include the study of the languages, linguistics, and cultures of the region; and the interrelationship
of its literatures to the other arts, philosophy, religion, and the social sciences. We offer introductory through advanced classes in
Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean language as well as an array of courses taught in English to address the interests of a
broader student audience. While REALC courses focus on some of the oldest civilizations in the world, the department houses
classroom facilities that are equipped with the latest technology. Instructors make use of a range of media such as real-time television
broadcasts from abroad, the Internet, and videoconferencing. This enables REALC to host interactive exchange with students and
scholars in Russia and East Asia. The department sponsors various exciting and challenging study abroad programs, and special
internship opportunities both overseas and in the Atlanta area. A wide variety of films, guest speakers, and special cultural events
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 529
accompany our course work. REALC participates in the interdepartmental Center for Russian and East European Studies (REES)
and the East Asian Studies Program (EASP), and also collaborates extensively with other departments and programs, including
Linguistics, Comparative Literature, Art History, Film Studies, the Institute of Liberal Arts, Women's Studies, Theater, Music, History,
and Religion. REALC courses are recommended for majors in the humanities as well as for students interested in developing a base
upon which to understand international and global issues, Pacific Rim studies, and East-West relations. As dynamics become more
internationalized and globalized, employers increasingly consider foreign language and experience of other cultures to be distinctive
assets. REALC courses and programs offer structured, supportive opportunities for students to acquire such skills. Students with a
background in Russian and East Asian languages and cultures go on to international careers, to graduate studies, or to programs in
law, business, public health, or medicine. Because new courses continually are being added, please check the departmental website
(www.realc.emory.edu) or call the department at 404.727.6427 for updated offerings. Also, students should contact the department for
updated information about major and minor requirements and study abroad opportunities.

SOCIOLOGY DEPARTMENT
Students of sociology learn to evaluate and explain the complex interactions among people and societies; thus, sociology is an integral
part of a liberal arts education. At Emory, the study of sociology covers a wide range of topics, including the study of small group
interaction; the study of institutions (education, media industries, the criminal justice system, health care systems); the study of social
inequality; the relationship between culture and society; and the comparative study of different societies. Students also are trained in
the social research process (different methods of data gathering and analysis) to further their examination of social problems. Emory
sociology majors have the opportunity to learn by doing as well as by studying, and several courses offer the opportunity for hands on
research.

Study Abroad
SOC 390: Health Care/Society Seminar. The Department of Sociology offers a six-week program in London
focusing on issues and problems in health care delivery in Great Britain and the United States. Emphasis is on the
comparative social organization of the two systems, contrasting the evolution and current state of the two health
care systems. The program includes seminars with British professors; a short internship experience in a healthcare
setting; and a survey research project.
Advising
To declare a major or minor in sociology, please see Neema Oliver in the Sociology Department Office, 225
Tarbutton Hall, to complete paperwork.
Neema Oliver will review the sociology requirements, sociology opportunities, and assign students to a regular
faculty adviser. Faculty advisers will be your main source of information about the program, course planning, and
career options.
All minors are advised by Dr. Jeff Mullis, the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Sociology.
Internship
An internship in sociology consists of supervised work in a social service agency or other type of organization.
Students are responsible for locating and securing their own internship (please email the Sociology Internship
Coordinator for a list of past sites if you are having
trouble locating an appropriate internship). Your internship must
be unpaid. Interns take part in a special seminar and receive academic credit (four to twelve hours for SOC 494R).
Award
Sociology majors can become members of Alpha Kappa Delta, the international sociology honors society. Eligible
students are invited at the beginning of the spring term and are inducted in April. The eligibility requirements are:
junior (or 3rd year) student majoring in sociology
completion of at least 5 courses (20 hours) in sociology
at least a 3.4 GPA overall
at least a 3.6 GPA in sociology
In addition, the Department of Sociology annually recognizes an outstanding senior for distinguished
undergraduate scholarship in sociology. This award is made possible by a gift from the Sara Smith Sutker and
Solomon Sutker Fund.
Independent Study
or Research
Students may have opportunities to assist faculty members on their research projects. These opportunities are
dependent on the current research needs of the faculty. The best way to pursue research is to get to know the
faculty with whom you take classes, and then talk with them about research opportunities. Remember that doing
well in a class is the best way to show you would be a good research assistant. Students who do find a research
assistant opportunity will be enrolled in SOC 497R: Directed Research. In the recent past, students have assisted
on projects focused on the experimental analysis of interaction in small groups, the causes of delinquency, and the
trends in transnational corporations.
Please see Dr. Jeff Mullis if you would like to talk more about how to pursue research opportunities in the
Department of Sociology.

Honors Program
Advanced
majors with a 3.5 GPA may apply to the Honors Program in Spanish during their junior year. If accepted
by the Department, they spend their senior year enrolled in Spanish 495A in the fall and in Spanish 495B WR in the
spring.
Study Abroad
The department s
trongly encourages students to live and study in Spanish- or Portuguese-speaking countries.
Students may receive credit toward the major in Spanish for up to twelve credit hours (or six credit hours in the
case of the Spanish minor) taken in an approved pr
ogram of study abroad, and credit toward the Portuguese minor
for up to eight credit hours (two courses) taken in approved study abroad programs. These credit limits do not apply
to Emory courses taught abroad or courses taught by Emory faculty. Emory Univ
ersity administers its own fall and
spring semester programs in Salamanca, Spain, and participates in a consortium of universities to offer additional
semester study programs in Latin America (Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Costa Rica, and Mexico). Em
ory
also administers summer programs in Salamanca, Buenos Aires, and Rio de Janeiro. The summer program in
Salamanca includes course components taught on a rotating basis in a number of cities around the Iberian
peninsula, including Valencia, Seville, and Barcelona.
Advising
Once students declare a major in Spanish, they are assigned an adviser in the department.
Minors in Spanish are advised by the DUS.
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 534
Minors in Portuguese are advised by the Director of the Portuguese program.
Language Study
The department works to ensure that students enter the program at the appropriate level. Initial placement is based
on the department's assessment of various factors: results of the online Spanish Placement Exam, results of the
Spanish AP exams (if applicable), numbe
r of years of study in high school, amount of time since last studies were
completed, study abroad experience, and previous contact with Spanish speakers. All students who wish to study
Spanish at Emory, including native speakers as well as speakers with n
o previous experience, are required to take
the online Spanish Placement Exam (accessible at http://www.spanish.emory.edu/) and to complete the
accompanying questionnaire before enrolling in the first Spanish course in the department. After reviewing this
and
other information, the department emails an official placement to each student at their Learnlink account. Students
should not enroll until receiving an official placement. During the first week of classes, instructors confirm that
students are accurat
ely placed, or recommend that they be transferred to a more appropriate class.
Internship
The department offers Span 314, Internship in Spanish, for variable credit. The internship is an opportunity for
applied learning in a supervised Spanish
-speaking work or volunteer environment.
Award
Sigma chapter of Phi Sigma Iota, the national Romance language honor society, was installed at Emory in 1930.
This society recognizes those students who have completed work in foreign language courses with a 3.7 GPA.
The department also offers awards for writing (Carlos Rojas Award for Excellence in Writing), service (Award for
Excellence in Community Engagement) and overall excellence (Emilia Navarro Award for Excellence in Spanish).
Additionally, the department nomin
ates students for the Emory College Language Center's Awards in Spanish and
Portuguese.
THEATER AND DANCE DEPARTMENT
Theater and Dance are among the richest and most rewarding of educational disciplines. They combine interests in creative arts,
humanities, and social sciences. Through their integration of thinking and doing, of analysis and creative problem solving, they develop
the mind, body, sensibility, and imagination. We offer a Theater Studies major and minor, a Dance major and minor, and a joint major in
Playwriting with the Creative Writing Program. Each area has its own focus and requirements.
Theater Studies
Our course of study offers a broad-based liberal arts education that not only challenges and develops the student in our discipline, but
also offers practical preparation for a variety of careers, including law, business, medicine, education, and communications. Excellent
teaching and mentoring are high priorities for the faculty and interactions occur in a variety of settings: small classes, individual
consultations, master classes, rehearsals, and performances.
The major and minor require a study of the various subfields of theater, with a strong core of dramatic literature. Advanced courses in
all areas are available. Theater Emory offers an opportunity unique in undergraduate theater education: the opportunity to work with
professionals in an Equity company, where all casting is age appropriate and where students may play central and substantial
supporting roles. Four student theater groups offer other opportunities to act, direct, design, produce, and stage manage. Emory's
unique combination of a liberal arts undergraduate program and a professional theater provide a strong and flexible training ground.
The Dance Program
The Emory Dance Program provides a range of opportunities for students to experience dance, from performance and production to
technique and theory. The mission of the Emory Dance Program is to provide a curriculum that interweaves both the practical and
theoretical to foster students' creative, intellectual, and communicative powers in the field of dance. The Emory Dance Program
emphasizes performance and choreography based on the primary tenets of modern dance, which value individualism, innovation, and
interdisciplinary approaches to the arts.
The study of dance is perhaps the most unique and all-encompassing pursuit in the fine arts. It involves the total exploration of the self-
emotional, intellectual, and kinesthetic. The program develops students' awareness and appreciation of movement in all its diverse
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 535
forms and their ability to communicate through non-verbal expression. Dance develops insights into a broad range of studies; therefore
it plays a viable role in the liberal arts education. Since dance is so multi-faceted, it enhances the student's preparation for a variety of
careers.
The Joint Major in Playwriting
The playwriting joint major brings together the disciplines of Theater Studies and Creative Writing in an innovative synthesis designed
to educate playwrights both as writers and as theater professionals. A playwright must understand the workings of narrative and
storytelling and have opportunities to develop dramatic, fully realized narratives. The playwright also needs a strong grounding in the
literature and mechanics of theater and in the collaborative process, since these are the worlds he or she seeks to inhabit, and the
instrument for which the playwright composes.

African Studies
Requirements
A total of nine courses are required, of which six must be courses with wholly African content, totaling a minimum of
twenty-seven credit hours. The remaining three courses may be courses that feature a theoretical or thematic focus
with 1/3 to 1/2 African content as case studies or other examples. A minimum of four courses must be at the 300 or
400 level. Students are encouraged to strengthen their work in the major by participating in study or research abroad
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 541
through one of Emory's approved programs in Africa. Courses taken as part of study abroad that meet the above
content requirements are accepted, with the approval of the Director of African Studies, as credit for the major.
Of the six Africa-focused courses, one must be selected from each of the following three requirements:
REQUIREMENT 1: INTRODUCTORY COURSES
AFS 221 (HIST 221) The Making of Modern Africa
AFS 263 (IDS 263) Introduction to African Studies, OR
AFS 280 (ANTH 280) Anthropological Perspectives on Africa, OR
AFS 282 (ARTHIST 282) Arts of Africa
THESE COURSES FULFILL THE GER AND NORMALLY ARE OFFERED EACH YEAR.
REQUIREMENT 2: SPECIAL TOPICS IN AFRICAN STUDIES
AFS 364 (HIST 364) African Civilizations to the Era of the Slave Trade, OR
AFS 367 (HIST 367) The Making of South Africa, OR
AFS 389: Special Topics in African Studies (several 389 courses with different topics are usually taught
each year)
AFS 364, AFS 367 AND AFS 389 ARE NORMALLY OFFERED EACH YEAR.
REQUIREMENT 3: RESEARCH SEMINAR PAPER
Before graduating, African Studies majors must complete a project involving a significant writing and research
component ranging from 4000 to 5000 words (approx. 16-20 pages). The paper should demonstrate the student's
broad, interdisciplinary, and integrated understanding of African contexts; his or her ability to think and write
analytically using place-based knowledge and to locate this knowledge in the global world; and to conduct original
research using a variety of sources and interdisciplinary training.
Students may fulfill this requirement in the context of an upper-level AFS course or comparable course (including, in
some cases, a graduate course) with significant Africa-related content. This course must be taken at Emory
University.
Prior to the add/drop deadline in a given semester, students must confirm with the instructor of this course that the
research and writing of a major paper will be possible by filling out the Senior Seminar Paper Form
. The form needs
to be signed by the student, the instructor and returned to the DUS by the add/drop deadline. Three weeks before the
end of the semester (or any earlier date required by the instructor), students must submit a rough draft of the paper
to their instructor. Within one week, the instructor will return comments on the draft and the student will revise it
before final submission. Upon submission, the Completion of Research Seminar Paper form must be signed by the
instructor and returned to the DUS by the grade deadline.
REQUIREMENT 4: LANGUAGE COMPETENCE
Competence in a language spoken in Africa is essential for an appreciation of the complexities of African societies. It
is also an expectation for graduate programs in many disciplines, as well as for professional work in African contexts.
Students are required to demonstrate competence (as a minimum through the 102 level) in a language other than
English that is widely used in Africa. However they are strongly urged to continue beyond this level. Emory currently
offers three such languages: French, Portuguese and Arabic. We encourage students to study abroad in Africa and
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 542
take a course in an African language there. Students who already know an African language may petition to
demonstrate competence through testing.
Students who take language courses during a study abroad in Africa may request that these courses count toward
their language competence.
SATISFYING MAJOR REQUIREMENTS DURING STUDY ABROAD
Students are strongly encouraged to strengthen their work in African Studies by participating in study or research
abroad through one of Emory's approved programs in Africa. Currently, Emory's CIPA programs include
opportunities in Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Morocco, Rwanda, Namibia/Botswana, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania,
and Uganda. Please visit the CIPA website for more information.
Up to a total of four regular courses (12-16 credit hours) may be earned toward the major in study abroad programs.
African language courses taken during study abroad can also count toward your language competency requirement.
Prior to be
ginning a study abroad program, students must contact the Director or DUS to seek approval of courses to
be taken and counted towards the African Studies major. Students should be prepared to provide a syllabus for any
courses to be counted toward the major. Many courses offered abroad count as AFS special topics courses, but
please note that only internships that satisfy
Emory College guidelines.

Many courses in other departments can count towards the major (with approval of the DUS). Anthropology,
Art History, English, History, Political Science, Religion, Sociology, Human and Natural Ecology, Science,
Culture and Society all regularly offer interdisciplinary seminars that are focused on American topics. Any
course in African American studies can count toward the American Studies Major.
We strongly encourage students to select at least one course in their concentration that is either
comparative or stretches the boundaries of the United States. Courses in Latin and Caribbean Studies,
African Studies, Asian Studies, IDS, are often a way to enrich your understanding of the US is global
context.
The required Senior Symposium is offered only in the Fall and carries 4 credits. If you are planning to study
abroad in fall of your senior year, consult early with the DUS, as you should take the course in your junior
year.
Freshman seminars cannot count toward the major.

Anthropology
Requirements
The Bachelor of Science in Anthropology is a concentration in biological anthropology. It is designed to cultivate one
of the particular strengths of Emory's Anthropology department. While the degree requires training in general
Anthropology, it has a clear emphasis in the area of human biology.
A Bachelor of Science degree in Anthropology requires a minimum of ten 3- or 4-credit Anthropology courses (at
least 30 credit hours), and six Foundation courses (23 sem. hours). A maximum
combined total of eight hours of ANT
397 (Directed Readings), ANT 495 (Honors), and ANT 497 (Directed Research) may be applied to the major. No
courses taken using the S/U option may be applied to the major. A maximum of 12 credit hours earned off the Emor
y
campus may be applied toward the major. Only one 100-level class may be taken to fulfill the elective requirements.
Note: Petitions for course substitutions and exceptions will be considered by the Undergraduate Concerns
Committee.
All Majors must take both:
Anthropology 201 Concepts and Methods in Biological Anthropology AND
Anthropology 202 Concepts and Methods in Cultural Anthropology
These foundations courses are designed to give majors a thorough grounding in all four fields of anthropology and
CAN BE TAKEN IN ANY ORDER. While it is not required to complete 201 and 202 prior to taking upper division
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 548
courses, it is strongly recommended that they be taken in the sophomore year, if possible, so they may serve as
building blocks for further coursework.

Biology
Requirements
Overview
The requirements for the BS are designed for students who wish to pursue an advanced degree in the life sciences.
Additional courses in chemistry, physics, quantitative theory and methods, and calculus provide greater in-depth
training than the BA. The BA degree is appropriate for those students who wish to pursue a double major.
Requirements
The BS degree requires at least 57 credit hours, including a minimum of eleven biology classes totaling 30 hours.
These eleven biology classes must include:
Biology 141 and 141L plus Biology 142 and 142L
One course from each of the following three areas: A) cell and molecular biology, B) organismal biology,
and C) ecology/evolution
Four elective classes (12 credit hours minimum) from the biology course listings (excluding Biology 120,
160, 190, and 497), no more than one of which is cross-listed and originates in another department (see
NOTES below).
One upper level laboratory course is also required within the 30 hours minimum of biology.
Seven classes from other science and math departments are also required for the BS, as follows:
Chemistry 150, 202, 203 with labs; Physics 141 with lab; QTM 100 and two calculus classes: Math 111
and 116 are recommended but other options can be considered in consultation with your Biology faculty
advisor.
NOTES
Biology 141, 141L, 142 and 142L are prerequisites for all upper level courses in biology except Biology 240,
which can be taken with AP credit for Biology 141 and concurrently with Biology 141L.
A "C" average is required in the Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Math classes necessary for the major.
All courses required for the Biology major must be taken for a letter grade.
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 554

courses are subject to change, and currently include: Biol/Psych 320, Biol/Psych 325, Biol/Chem 330, Biol/ENVS
345, Biol/Chem 346L, Biol 356/NBB 358, Biol/NBB 361, Biol 385 (Phys 380/NBB 370), Biol/Psych 440, and certain
Biol 285, 385, and 485 courses. This also applies to certain ECS 490 courses with biological topics (check with the
Biology Department office)
2 credit hour courses may be taken for elective credit; however, additional biology courses will be needed to fulfill the
12 hours of elective credit required.
4 credit hours of Biology 495 (Honors Research) or Biology 499R (non-Honors Undergraduate Research) may be
counted as both elective credit and an upper-level lab only after completion of the second semester of 495 or 499R.
An AP score of 4 or 5 on the Biology AP exam, or an IB score of at least 5, will exempt students from Biology 141
only. Biology 141L and Biology 142 and 142L will still be required.
. It is also recommended that transfer students
without a Genetics class enroll in Biology 142.
All Biology majors are required to meet with their Biology advisor every semester during pre-registration. An
enrollment hold is placed on all Biology major's OPUS accounts each semester until they have met with Biology
advisor.

Educational Studies Major/Noncertification Program
The educational studies major
provides a foundation that is appropriate for students who may choose to enter a
teacher certification program at the graduate level as well as for students who may later wish to embark upon other
careers in education. The major is also appropriate for stu
dents who intend to pursue graduate study in other areas
such as law or business but who need a comprehensive understanding of the complexity of educational issues in
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 573
order to contribute to meaningful decision making in their professional and private lives. Graduates of this program
do not meet the requirements for teacher certification.
Requirements for Major
The BA degree program consists of a minimum of ten courses (forty hours). Educational Studies 201 (American
Education) is required.
Five Breadth Cou
rses: The purpose of the breadth requirement is to insure that all majors acquire systematic
knowledge in what we view as five central areas. Consequently all majors must take at least one course from each of
the following five areas: Psychological Contest
of Education, Social Context of Education, Cultural Context of
Education, Historical/Philosophical Context of Education, and Methods of Disciplined Inquiry.
Four Elective Courses: Students must take additional four courses to complete the major. These cou
rses will be
selected in consultation with the student's adviser. The faculty values development of individualized programs that
may include study abroad, off
-campus internships, and other appropriate experiences in an educational context.
Course taken to
meet the requirements for the BA may not be taken under the S/U option. A "C" average or better
must be maintained in the courses for the major to fulfill graduation requirements.
Admission
The Division of Educational Studies (DES) is scheduled to close S
ummer 2017. Recognizing that the number
of Educational Studies (EDS) courses available will be decreasing each year as this closing date
approaches, students are no longer permitted to declare new majors or minors in Educational Studies.
However, students
who express an interest in the field of education, in most cases, will continue to be able
to enroll in Educational Studies coursework through Summer 2017. Please contact either the Director of
Undergraduate Studies or the Director of DES if you wish to ex
press your interest educational studies, at
which time you will be assigned an EDS adviser and be provided with further information. Ongoing
advisement is critical during preregistration each semester since a permission number is required to enroll
in most EDS courses.

Creative Writing
Requirements
In the Creative Writing Program at Emory students study both art and craft: the literary traditions in which they write
and the elements of craft in poetry, fiction, playwriting, screenwriting, and creative nonfiction. The program fosters
their development as writers, through an emphasis on reading as a writer, generating material, and revision.
Academic requirements of the English/creative writing major are eleven courses (thirty-eight to forty-four credits)
beyond the introductory courses in English required by Emory College (English 101, 181, or Literature 110). Five of
those eleven courses (fifteen to twenty credits) are to be creative writing workshops and the other six (eighteen to
twenty-four credits) are to be advanced-level English classes in literature and criticism (i.e., 300 and 400 level).
Students must take at least two 300-level literature courses in prose, two in poetry, and two in nineteenth-century
writing or earlier. Majors may also substitute one 200-level English literature course for one 300-
level course. At least
two writing workshops must be in the same writing genre (fiction, poetry, etc.). This framework provides enough
flexibility so that English/creative writing majors may work out individual programs of study in consultation with their
advisers. In addition to the creative writing courses listed below, English/creative writing majors are also eligible for
work in the Internship Program (see ENG 496R), independent study (see ENGCW 397R), and creative writing
honors (see ENGCW 495R). Please note that internship hours do not count toward the major. The Creative Writing
Program also sponsors a reading series in which nationally prominent authors are invited to campus to read from
their latest works and to meet with students.

History
English
Requirements
The departments of History and English offer a joint major, the goal of which is a logical and focused curriculum for
exploring the relationships
of literature and history. The joint major seeks a coherence that draws upon expertise in
each department to aid the student in fashioning an individual program. The exact nature of the student
\'s class list
should be worked out in consultation with the st
udent\'s adviser in each department. There are no geographical or
chronological limits placed on the joint major, but a thematic unity is expected. Student participation in the intellectual
life of each department is a high priority.
At least fourteen cour
ses (a minimum of forty-eight hours); the entire class list must be approved in writing by the
student
\'s advisors in each department.
1. Seven courses in history, five of which must be above the 200 level, one of which must be a 400-level
writing intensive colloquium, and all of which must demonstrate a thematic coherence
2. Six courses in English beyond the 100 level, four of which must be 300 or 400 level writing-intensive
courses and all of which must demonstrate a thematic coherence.
3. One writing course, which may be either an honors thesis, a directed reading that produces a senior essay
of at least 5,000 words to be read by the student\'s advisers in each department, or (with advance written
permission of the professor and both advisers) an upper-division course in either department in which the
student writes a term paper developing specific relationships between history and literature.
Admission
Prospective majors must submit an official letter of application that describes the
studentandamp;#8217;s proposed
field of concentration within the joint major (e.g. sixteenth
-century British, nineteenth-
century American, modern Irish,
African American, etc.); the letter must be endorsed by an adviser in each department. This letter call
s upon the
student to plan a course of study, though some flexibility is permissible as the student pursues this planned
curriculum. Students are strongly encouraged to file their applications at the start of their junior year. Applications
must be submitt
ed to the director of undergraduate studies in each department before the student registers for the
first semester of the senior year.

History
Requirements
The History Department requires all its majors to choose a concentration within the major. Since History as a
discipline is diverse and our students come to it with varied expectations, the student’s concentration may aim at a
broad exposure to historyGeneral Studies in History or at deeper immersion in one of three geographically
based or three thematically focused approaches. The geographic concentrations are: United States; Europe: and,
Latin America and Non-Western World. The thematic concentrations are: Women, Gender, and Sexuality; Empires,
Nations, and Citizenship; and, Law, Economics, and Human Rights.
Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) Credits
History majors may use a maximum of six (6) hours of Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate
(IB) history credit towards a history major. AP and IB credit cannot be used to satisfy a major distribution area
requirement; these credits can be used to satisfy major credit hours only.
Study Abroad Courses
History majors may apply a maximum of three (3) study abroad courses towards a history major.
General Requirements
A student must complete 11 courses (a minimum of 35 credit hours) of history, at least 7 courses of which
must be at or above the 300-level. Two of the 11 courses required for the history major must be 400-level
colloquia. Normally, one colloquium will be taken in the junior year, the other in the senior year. Graduate
seminar courses (500-level) may be used to fulfill the major colloquia requirement but do not meet College
continuing writing requirements, as colloquia normally do.
• Two research papers are required of all history majors. These papers are written in the colloquia and are
normally sixteen to twenty-four pages in length.
• Completion of the major requires a minimum of a C average in history courses counted towards the major.
• The S/U option may not be exercised in any course counted for the major.
• Special programs have been developed for students who would like to take joint majors in history and art
history, history and classics, history and English, and history and religion. Joint major information may be
obtained from the Department office.
Concentration Requirements
Each student must choose a concentration within the major by October of the junior year (or upon
declaring a major if done at a later date).
For all concentrations, students must take at least five courses within the concentration, one of which may
be a 200-level course if listed as pertinent, while the other four must be at or above the 300-level, including
one 400-level colloquium.
One of the major's two research papers must be done within the concentration.
Distribution Requirements
All history majors are required to demonstrate chronological breadth by taking at least one course in early
and one in modern history within their chosen concentration.
History majors with geographic concentrations are also required to take at least two history courses outside
their concentration and in separate geographic areas. For instance, a student concentrating in U.S. history
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 591
is required to take at least one class each in European history and in World history. The two courses outside
the concentration may be at any level but students should keep in mind that they may only take a total of
four classes below the 300-level for major credit (this includes transfer credits from AP courses).
Majors with thematic concentrations must explore at least two geographic areas within the concentration, at
or above the 300-
level (for example, U.S. and European, or U.S. and World history). General Studies majors
automatically satisfy the geographic breadth requirement.
CONCENTRATIONS FOR HISTORY MAJORS
General Studies
One course each (for a total of five) in: U.S. History before 1860; U.S. History after 1860; European History before
1750; European History after 1750; and Latin America & Non-Western World History.
United States History
This concentration permits majors to study American history in depth, by taking more courses offered by our faculty's
U.S. specialists. Students take advanced courses on pre-Civil War history as well as post-1860 America, enabling
them to develop a fuller sense of the contours of the nation's history.
European History
This concentration offers students the opportunity to study the transformative social, cultural, and political
experiences of European states, societies, and civilizations from ancient Greece and Rome, through the medieval,

Institute of the Liberal Arts
Requirements
The IDS major requires 44 credits; generally this will involve 5 Frame Courses + 7 Concentration Courses:
Frame Courses = at least 20 credits (2 200-
level, Writing Lab courses @ 5 credits/each, IDS 491 Senior seminar @ 4
credits, and 2 others @ 3 or more credits)
Concentration Courses = at least 7 courses carrying 3 or more credits each
Concentration Courses
At least seven of
the major's required courses constitute the student's individualized concentration. This list of at least
seven courses is designed in close consultation with the Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) or a faculty
advisor, who approves of the concentrat
ion at the time the student is admitted into the major. Subsequent changes to
the concentration courses must be approved by the DUS.
The concentration courses prepare a student to carry out research into a question that is best illuminated by two or
more disciplinary methods. Skills and research launched in the concentration courses culminate in the required IDS
senior project.
Frame Courses
Writing as a skill for reflective reading and clear articulation of thought is crucial to success within the IDS major.
Frame courses provide structure to a student's experience within the major by emphasizing writing skills and by
presenting examples of analysis and illumination of intellectual problems through the methods and resources of
multiple disciplines.
Two 200-level continuing writing requirement courses that participate in the ILA's innovative Writing Lab
initiative are required; the array of options is as follows:
o IDS 200
o IDS 201_OX
o IDS 205
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 596
o IDS 216W or IDS 216_OX
o An equivalent course, upon consultation with and approval by the ILA undergraduate committee.
ENG 223 Rhetorical Grammar (1-credit, S/U) is co-
requisite with all of the preceding courses, except Oxford
courses. Oxford continuees will be required to take ENG 223 when they arrive at Emory College, either as
co-
requisite to one of the previous courses (in the case that they have taken only one Frame Requirement at
Oxford) or as a separate requirement to complete the major.
One 300-level class focusing on cultural theory is required (generally IDS 385 Critical Cultural Theory)
Two senior year courses are required:
o IDS 491 Liberal Studies Seminar (senior seminar and capstone)
o Senior Research or Honors research
IDS Senior Project
As a synthesis of a student's course of study, and as a credential demonstrating a student's ability to organize
complex ideas, each IDS student completes a significant senior project. Senior projects frequently involve scholarly
research, but can be composed of research and other forms of scholarship, such as
artistic expression or other forms
of broader public engagement. Students begin their projects in the senior capstone seminar and work closely with
faculty advisors, who give final approval of the project. If a student meets other requirements set by the Honors
Program, the IDS Senior Project can count as the Honors Project.
Language Requirement
Competency and cultural awareness gained through the study of a non-native language other than English at the
level of 201 or above.
*Note: non-honors students take
IDS 499 at least once, optionally twice in their senior year; honors students take IDS
390 in their junior spring semester in addition to IDS 495 Honor Research, which is required by the Honors Program
and must be taken at least once, optionally twice. As an additional support for their senior projects, non-honors
students are encouraged to take IDS 390 in spring of their junior years.

Political Science
Requirements
1. The Political Science Department requires all its International Studies majors to complete the following
foundational courses:
o
QTM 100: Introduction to Statistical Inference
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 597
o POLS 110: Introduction to International Politics
o POLS 111: Principles of Political Science
o POLS 208: Political Science Research Methods
2. All International Studies majors must also complete:
o one research course (POLS 394/494 or "RSCH" in title and on IS approved list)
o one POLS elective at any level (on IS approved list)
o two upper-level POLS electives (300+ and on IS approved list)
o three upper-level POLS (300+) or non-POLS electives at any level (on IS approved list)
3. Modern foreign language requirement: IS majors must pass one course (202 level or above) in which the
language of instruction is other than English.
Additional Requirements and Procedures
1. No more than four 100-level courses (not including QTM 100) may be used to satisfy the major.
2. A minimum of seven courses must be taken at Emory University or Oxford College. International Studies
majors may get credit for up to four courses taken outside of Emory (study abroad programs, Bard
Globalization and International Affairs and Washington Semester Programs, transfer and transient credits)
that have been approved by the department.
3. Students may not double major in Political Science and International Studies, nor may a student major in
International Studies and minor in Political Science.
4. No courses taken pass/fail (S/U) may count toward the major. This means that courses taken abroad in non-
Emory approved programs, which as such receive only S/U grades, cannot count toward the major. The
only exception is the Washington Semester Program or the Bard International Affairs and Globalization
Program. Students may use up to eight hours (or two courses) of Washington Semester credit or Bard credit
as elective credit towards the Political Science Major.
5. One elective course can be satisfied by a POLS 496: Internship or a POLS 497: Directed Study. In addition,
one elective course can be satisfied by a POLS 387: CLSS Independent Research or POLS 388: Research
in Political Science.
6. Major status does not guarantee enrollment in any particular course. Some classes may require course
prerequisites or other requirements for enrollment.
7. Students are encouraged to take advantage of study abroad opportunities.
8. Each student majoring in International Studies will be assigned an advisor and will be expected to consult
with that advisor in designing a plan of study.
9. Each semester, prior to pre-registration advising, the department will issue a list of IS approved courses
to
be offered the next semester (permanent and variable topic Political Science courses as well as cognate
courses in other departments) that may be used to satisfy the International Studies requirements. This list
will be displayed on departmental bulletin boards, distributed to International Studies majors, distributed to
departmental advisors, and posted on the Department's web site. Records of approved courses by semester
will be maintained in the departmental office as well as on the Department's web site. Decisions on
qualifying courses will be made by a committee of International Studies faculty from the Department of
Political Science. This practice will be followed to ensure that the full range of International Studies courses
in any one semester, many of them non-permanent offerings, will be available to students and credited
toward the requirements for the major.
10. International Studies majors are eligible to participate in the Political Science Honors Program in order to
receive Honors in International Studies. Honors Program students may use an appropriate graduate
seminar to satisfy the advanced seminar requirement.
Note on the Modern Foreign Language Requirement
Students must demonstrate proficiency in a modern foreign language at a level equivalent to two years of college
study. This will be satisfied by passing one course at the 202 level (or its equivalent) or above. Courses taken to
achieve the required foreign language proficiency do not count toward the requirement that 36 hours of international
studies courses be completed, nor are the grades used in calculating the major grade point average. Students may
take this course pass/fail, if not required to fulfill a general education requirement.

Linguistics
Requirements
This major is designed to introduce students to fundamental aspects of the study of human language, emphasizing
how an interdisciplinary approach to language better informs a global understanding of language use, structure,
acquisition, variation, and change. Specifically the program aims to show how structural, cognitive, and sociocultural
approaches to the study of language compare, contrast, and complement.
The major is designed so that students first acquire a solid introductory base in the study of linguistics. They then
must take a series of courses to ensure more intense study in (a) language and cognition, (b) language structure and
meani
ng, and (c) language, society, and culture. Following this exposure to different fields and approaches, students
will take elective courses to deepen their understanding of one or more of the approaches to the study of language.
Majors are also normally required to demonstrate competence at the intermediate level or above in a language other
than English, but may petition to satisfy the Linguistics language requirement through other combinations.
Completion of the major requires a minimum of a C average in the major. The S/U option may be exercised only in
the elective component of the major, for a maximum of four credit hours. A maximum combined total of four hours of
courses at the 490-499 level (Directed Study, Directed Research, Honors) may be applied toward the major.
Courses completed in approved Linguistics study abroad programs may also be used to fulfill major requirements
(with approval of the program director or designated faculty adviser).

Additional POLS Courses
One POLS research course (394/494 or “RSCH” in title). The research course should be one in which a
student would be able to fully utilize their training in mathematically-based research methods to work within
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 606
a substantive area and/or on a substantive project. A student must have their choice of research course
approved by the joint political science and math faculty adviser
Four upper-level POLS electives (300-400). These courses must have content (such as readings or paper
assignments) which employ the methods learned in 208 and 310. A student must have their choice of
upper-level courses approved by the joint political science and math faculty advisor.
MATH Courses
MATH 111: Calculus I
MATH 112: Calculus II
MATH 211: Multivariable Calculus
MATH 212: Differential Equations or MATH 250: Foundations of Mathematics
MATH 221: Linear Algebra
MATH 361: Probability and Statistics I
MATH 362: Probability and Statistics II
Additional Requirements and Procedures
1. Additional information about the joint major is available on the Math department web page.
2. No courses taken pass/fail (S/U) may count toward the major.
Honors Program Eligibility
A student who is a joint major in math and political science may participate in the political science honors program
alongside political science and international studies majors, or in the math honors program. The political science
honors program requires taking a graduate or senior seminar of the student's choice. That graduate or senior
seminar can satisfy requirement "e" above, contingent on the approval of the political science adviser. Honors
students also take POLS 495: Honors Tutorial in the fall of the senior year, as well as POLS 499: Honors Research
in the
spring of the senior year. These last two courses will satisfy only one of the three required upper-
level POLS courses
(see above under “Additional POLS courses”). That is, students who complete the honors program will still need to
take at least two 300 level or above courses. In accordance with college guidelines, a joint major wishing to pursue
honors in political
science must receive approval of the math department for entry into the political science honors program, and the
math department must also agree on the level of honors ultimately awarded. Also per college guidelines, a joint
major pursuing honors in political science must have a faculty member of the math department on the honors
committee, in
addition to a political science faculty member and an outside member.
Note on the Research Requirement
Starting in the Fall of 2016, the Political Science department implemented a new requirement that MATH/POLS
students complete a research paper as part of their Political Science major. Classes that contain a paper that meets
the research requirement are numbers with either a POLS 394 or POLS 494 designation or contain "RSCH" in the
course title.

History and Culture Courses (all Tracks)
The Music Department at Emory offers three tracks for fulfilling a major in music:Composition, Performance, Research.
Students must select a track by the end of the sophomore year and fulfill all course requirements in the track in order to
earn a major in music. Since significant portions of the music curriculum are based on mastery of sequential study, the
department recommends as early a declaration as possible. Early declaration also allows students maximum benefit
from private lesson study, since the department provides a half-subsidy for private lessons for declared music majors.
Notes:
MUS 121 Theory and Analysis I is the foundation course for all music major tracks. Students with a strong
background in music theory may request to take the MUS 121 Exemption Test.
No more than three credit hours of Supervised Reading or Study Abroad courses may count toward fulfillment
of the music major.
An internship may not count toward the music major.
All courses must be taken for a letter grade.
AP Music Theory Exam - A score of 4 will transfer to Emory as MUS 114 and count as a 100-level elective
toward the music major. A score of 5 will transfer to Emory as MUS 121 and the student may move on to MUS
122 in the spring semester.
A total of 16 hours of MUS 300, 320, and 310 may be applied toward the 128 academic hours requirements
for graduation, although all applied music and ensembles must be taken for credit.
Students may not apply MUS 300, 310, or 320 as electives in any of the tracks.
Students will complete 45 credit hours to fulfill requirements in each track.

Note: Program opens for enrollment in Spring 2021
1. Four Foundation CoursesThese courses are designed to provide students with basic knowledge about and
approach to psychological science. Students must complete all four foundation courses by the end of the junior year.
A. Fundamentals of Psychology as a Behavioral Science
Introduction to PsychologyPsychology 110 and 111
Students must complete a two-semester introductory sequence in psychologyPsychology 110,
Introduction to Psychology I: Psychobiology and Cognition, and Psychology 111, Introduction to Psychology
II: Development, Social Behavior, and Individual Differences. These courses provide all majors with a
general orientation to the methods, content areas, and central findings of psychology. We recommend that
they be taken before any other psychology course. Students who have received AP credit from the college
by scoring a 5 on
the advanced placement test in psychology will be exempted from Psychology 111. These
students must take an additional elective course to replace Psychology 111, and must take Psychology 110
to complete the introductory requirement. Students who completed a one-semester introductory psychology
course will receive credit for Psychology 111, and must take Psychology 110 to complete the introductory
requirement.

Quantitative Theory and Methods (QTM) 100 and Psychology 200WR may not be taken concurrently.
Students must complete the psychological inquiry sequence no later than
the end junior year
1. Introduction to Statistical Inference QTM 100
Because adequate understanding of original source material in psychology is impossible without basic
statistical literacy, students are required to take a course in statistics. Majors must meet this requirement by
taking the QTM 100 statistics course offered by the Institute for Quantitative Theory and Methods.
2. Laboratory Methods—Psychology 200WR
This course provides students with a basic understanding of methods in psychology through conducting
studies and evaluating published research. Introduction to
Statistical Methods (QTM 100) is a prerequisite and therefore must be completed prior to this course.
2. Survey Courses - These courses are intended to cover a well-established area within psychological science from

Information on Russian Major for those who declared this major before Fall 2017 only.
Immense in its geographic size and highly influential politically in its historical and cultural development, Russia, a
colossal East-West, has entered the 21st century as a major player on the world stage. In its mediation on the
country's catastrophic history, Russian culture continues to engage some of the most complex political and social
issues: the country's major thinkers (philosophers, writers, scientists, artists) have commented upon these problems
with unparalleled insight. An acquaintance with their thought will introduce students to some of the intense and subtle
intellectual debates, international in their scope. For these reasons alone, a degree in Russian Languages and
Cultures provides essential preparation for careers in law, international relations, the diplomatic corps, business,
journalism, education, to name but a few of the professions open to our students.
Major in RUSSLLC provides intensive language training in Russian (the predominant language of Eurasia) with a
concentrated interdisciplinary study of Russia and its culture. All majors will be expected to pass the department's
proficiency interview in Russian.

For more information, go to: http://math.emory.edu/home/
JURIS MASTER
The Juris Master is a one-year degree, earned with the successful completion of 30 credit hours as a full-time student. The J.M. degree
does not qualify recipients to practice law. Rather, it is designed to supplement a student\'s professional pursuits in areas beyond legal
practice.
Many industries and professional fields are coping with the growing importance of regulatory oversight, intensifying risk and liability
concerns, global economic uncertainty, increasingly complex decision environments as well as pressures for integrated design/build
and faster movement to market. As a result, there is an increasing demand for the integration of professional knowledge in the
substance of the work with legal principles relevant to the work. With the additional preparation of a J.M. degree, students will be better
equipped to deal with such scenarios, by gaining insight in these and other areas of the law. A student who supplements his or her
disciplinary knowledge with a related grounding in the law may enhance their value in the market and workplace; realistically assess if
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 729
further legal studies are appropriate to their career aspirations; and advance interdisciplinary understanding between their
undergraduate professions and law.
The JM offers courses of study in political science, jurisprudence, environmental law, media and marketing, innovation and intellectual
property, arts management, and many others.
For more information, go to: http://www.law.emory.edu/academics/jm-program.html
MASTER OF ARTS IN BIOETHICS
This innovative and interdisciplinary program is designed to prepare Emory College students (from any major) to identify, evaluate and
respond to the social and ethical challenges that face medicine, biotechnology and the life sciences. Our curriculum incorporates
discussion-intensive seminars, one-on-one faculty mentorship, research opportunities and a career-building practicum (e.g. at the CDC,
GA State Legislature, or Atlanta Hospitals). This varied curriculum provides our students with both a theoretical grounding in bioethics
as well as hands-on experience of and supervision in the implementation of ethics projects. This dual degree will provide a competitive
advantage to students interested in careers in healthcare, health law, research regulation or compliance, academia or normative areas
of public health.
For more information, go to: http://ethics.emory.edu/mabioethics/dualdegree/4+1.html
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN CANCER BIOLOGY AND TRANSLATIONAL ONCOLOGY
The Graduate Program in Cancer Biology provides outstanding training opportunities at the PhD and MS levels in every aspect of
cancer research, from basic to translational research. This includes molecular and cellular biology, genetics and epigenetics, signal
transduction, genetic engineering, nanotechnologies, and many other disciplines used to understand the development and progression
of cancer.
Many different approaches are applied to a range of model systems to address how a normal cell becomes a cancer cell, how cancer
progresses to a metastatic state at the molecular level and how our understanding of these mechanisms can be exploited for the design
of new cancer therapies or novel ways to apply existing anti-cancer agents in the clinic.

Emory University recognizes a student’s right of privacy and is committed to protecting students from improper disclosure of private
information. Regarding the confidentiality of the information that becomes a part of the student’s permanent records and the conditions
of its disclosure, the University has adopted a policy that reflects a reasonable balance between its obligations for the protection of the
rights and privacy of the students and its responsibility to society.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES & AFFIRMATIVE ACTION POLICY
Emory University is dedicated to providing equal opportunities and equal access to all individuals regardless of race, color, religion,
ethnic or national origin, gender, genetic information, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and
veteran’s status. Emory University does not discriminate in admissions, educational programs, or employment on the basis of any factor
stated above or prohibited under applicable law. Students, faculty, and staff are assured of participation in University programs and in
the use of facilities without such discrimination. Emory University complies with Executive Order 11246, as amended, Section 503 of

UNIVERSITY-STUDENT RELATIONSHIPS
The Board of Trustees of Emory University has adopted a statement of policy dealing with University-student relationships, a digest of
which follows:
1. Emory University was founded on Christian principles by the Methodist Episcopal Church and proudly continues its church
relationship as an agency dedicated to seeking and imparting truth.
2. Emory University admits qualified students of any sex, sexual preference, race, color, national origin, religious preference,
age, or veteran’s status, and qualified handicapped students to all of the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally
accorded or made available to students at Emory University. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national
origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, or veteran’s status in administration of its educational policies,
admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, or athletic and other Emory University-administered programs.
3. Attendance at Emory University is a privilege and not a right; however, no student will be dismissed except in accordance with
prescribed procedures. Students applying for admission do so voluntarily and are free to withdraw at their pleasure, subject to
compliance with the regulations of their school or college governing withdrawal and to the fulfillment of their financial
obligations to the University.
Emory College 2022 2023 Catalog Page 743
4. Upon matriculation at Emory, each student agrees to be bound by the rules, policies, procedures, and administrative
regulations as they exist at the time of admission and as they may be changed by duly constituted authority.
5. By admission as a student at Emory University, a person acquires the right to pursue the course of study to which he or she is
admitted and to be treated with the dignity appropriate to an adult person in all matters relating to the University; in the same
spirit the student shall comply with the rules and regulations of Emory University.
6. Students will be provided the opportunity to participate in the development of rules and procedures pertaining to University
affairs to the extent that such participation and the results thereof, as determined by the Board of Trustees or its designated
agent, are consistent with orderly processes and with the policies and administrative responsibilities of the Board of Trustees
and the administration.
7. The University expects students to conduct themselves with dignity, courtesy, responsibility, and integrity, and with due
respect for the rights of others, realizing that sobriety and morality are not only characteristics of a mature and responsible
person but are essential to the maintenance of a free and orderly society.
8. Membership in and rules governing admission to student organizations shall be determined by the organizations themselves,
and such rules shall not be required to be uniform so long as the same do not contravene any policy established by the Board
of Trustees.
9. Emory University is an educational institution, not a vehicle for political or social action. It endorses the right of dissent and
protects and encourages reasonable exercise of this right by individuals within the University. Because the right of dissent is
subject to abuse, the Board of Trustees and the president have published a statement to clarify policy concerning such abuse,
a digest of which follows:
1. Individuals associated with Emory represent a variety of viewpoints; the University fosters the free expression and
interchange of differing views through oral and written discourse and logical persuasion.
2. Dissent, to be acceptable, must be orderly and peaceful and represent constructive alternatives reasonably
presented.
3. Coercion, threats, demands, obscenity, vulgarity, obstructionism, and violence are not acceptable.
4. Demonstrations, marches, sit-ins, or noisy protests that are designed or intended to or which do disrupt normal
institutional pursuits will not be permitted.
5. Classes and routine operations will not be suspended except for reasonable cause as determined by the president.
6. Administrators, faculty, other employees, and students are expected to abide by these standards of conduct in
promoting their views, particularly dissent.
7. Persons who are not so inclined should not become associated with Emory nor continue to be associated with
Emory.
8. Academic and administrative procedures will protect individuals in their right of free expression and provide for
prompt and appropriate action against those who abuse such right.

campus. What follows is a brief summary; the full statements of these policies, as well as those of other University policies, are

encourages the exchange of ideas within the University community, including ideas that may be unpopular or controversial. To this end,
the University is committed to providing a forum for student-sponsored expression of divergent points of view. At the same time, the
University encourages civility and has the obligation to address issues of safety and disruptive conduct. The president or the president’s
designee(s) reserve(s) the right to modify the circumstances or withdraw the invitation to speak when a risk of violence or substantial
disruption of the operation of the University can reasonably be foreseen.

violates this policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including permanent exclusion from the University. The scholarly,
educational, or artistic content of any written, oral, or other presentation or inquiry shall not be limited by this policy. The preceding
provision is liberally construed with the intent that academic freedom shall be allowed to all members of the academic community;

and/or remedial actions as needed when it appears that the University’s prohibition against any form of sexual abuse has been violated.

ENGAGED SCHOLARSHIP AND LEARNING AT EMORY
When students first arrive at Emory, they typically feel excited about the intellectual journey ahead but sometimes also feel a little
anxious. They may be unsure about what to study, what careers to pursue, or even how to make sense of the world around them.
Students may wonder how their classroom learning and scholarly studies relate to the real world or how their college education will
prepare them for fulfilling lives once they graduate.
At Emory College, students can choose from a variety of classes, fellowships, internships, and service and research programs that
place them in real-world settings, where they learn marketable skills while making valuable contributions to improving local, national,
and even international communities. As engaged scholars students can explore career options, connect with diverse populations, and
grow intellectually and emotionally.
