As a student, you’ll be able to venture into Atlanta to find activities you enjoy, such as visiting Six Flags over George or Sweetwater Creek State Park. You may also appreciate Atlanta’s size as well as the easy access you’ll have to other activities or communities nearby.

With Emory’s focus on health and medical care, it may not shock you to learn that Emory University’s Carnegie classification in doctoral universities denotes that they have very high research activity. The school has a religious affiliation with the United Methodist Church.

Tuition Cost & Financial Aid

---

College is expensive. Both you and your parents may be dreading the total price for even one academic year. At Emory, your total price for that year could be as high as $72,600. This covers tuition (in- and out-of-state), books, supplies, room/board, and other costs.

You likely won’t have to pay all of that cost. As long as you apply for financial aid and show that you have a financial need, you could receive grants, work-study, or scholarships. Student loans are also an option, but you should reserve these for a last option due to the interest you’ll be required to pay as you pay them off.

Once financial aid has paid out, you and your parents will still have the average net price left. For a recent academic year, this was $25,924. However, the amount of financial aid a family can receive depends on their income, as you can see below.

In your first year, you’ll find yourself adjusting to a new, hectic schedule that may be exhausting. You may even decide to return for your second, third, and fourth years of college. By returning for your second year of school, you add to the school’s retention rate, which is the percentage of first-time students who go back to the same school for their sophomore year of school. At Emory, this is 95%. This is an indicator that those who attend appreciate the education they receive.

Of the total number of students enrolled, about 7,066, or 49%, are undergraduates and 7,372, or 51%, are graduate students. As you look down the road toward graduation, you’ll see about 82% of your student-peers graduating at the end of their fourth year; about 90% of those remaining hang on and graduate after 6 years of school.

If students need to work during the day to keep bills paid or support their family, they have the option to take evening classes. Or, they may decide to take some courses in the online format (distance learning). Emory University offers this option as well.
