Emory was founded in 1836 on the historic lands of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, 15 years after the First Treaty of Indian Springs (1821) dispossessed the Muscogee of land including both Emory campus locations. We also acknowledge that Emory University’s founders were slaveholders, and the Oxford campus was originally constructed by enslaved people. To these peoples and their descendants, we acknowledge the grave injustices inflicted on them, and we recognize the indelible mark of their labor on the creation of the university. It is a liberal arts and research university located in Atlanta, Georgia. Students can choose from 80+ majors, including dance, economics, history, business, nursing, and quantitative sciences, or create an academic plan unique to your career goals Nearly half of our students choose to double major. All first-year students enroll in the First-Year at Emory Program, offering students unique academic programming taught in small classes of 19 or fewer students, as well as social events, helping students acclimate to campus. Classes are taught by leading faculty in their fields, and advisors are faculty familiar with your program. Beyond the classroom, internships, study abroad, and research opportunities abound as well! With over 450 student clubs, sports teams, and performing arts groups – and our unusual and fun traditions – Emory is a great place for students who want to organize, lead, and be a part of it all. Oxford Olympics is an annual tournament during Orientation week where the residence halls compete for the championship. Atlanta is the business, healthcare, and cultural capital of the Southeast, where you can take advantage of over 2,000 internship opportunities. Study breaks are for soaking in the art scene and diverse dining options, or retreating into nature by kayaking or hiking local nature trails.

Brown University was founded in 1764 and is located in historic Providence, Rhode Island. Brown is a private, Ivy League institution recognized for its global reach, vibrant community, expansive research opportunities and unique curriculum.

Our undergraduate College is home to 6,500 students from across the nation and the world, who are driven by a wide spectrum of academic interests.  The Brown Graduate and Alpert School of Medicine round out our academic community. The Open Curriculum gives students both choice and freedom in developing their undergraduate course of study by featuring interdisciplinary seminars, more than 80 concentrations (or “majors”), and over 2,000 courses (including cross-registration at the Rhode Island School of Design). Additionally, our innovative Open Curriculum has no curricular requirements outside of the writing and concentration requirements.

Brown’s commitment to access and equity resulted in the implementation of our Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan, which included the promise to double the faculty of color, increase resources for historically underrepresented groups on campus, and to host College Horizons for the first time in Brown’s history. Brown also launched the Native and Indigenous Studies Initiative to promote the scholarship of faculty and students that “explores, and increases the understanding of, the cultural traditions and political experiences of Indigenous Peoples (especially in the Western Hemisphere) through historical and contemporary lenses.” The Native Americans at Brown (NAB) student group organizes an ongoing Native American Heritage Series and the annual Spring Thaw Powwow, which is attended by over 1,000 people from throughout New England. The Brown Promise Financial Aid program meets 100% of demonstrated need and all students receiving financial aid do not have student loans in their financial aid packages.
