Description


Emory University
Emory University is a private research university in the Druid Hills neighborhood of the city of Atlanta, Georgia, United States.[17] The university was founded as Emory College in 1836 in Oxford, Georgia, by the Methodist Episcopal Church and was named in honor of Methodist bishop John Emory.[18] In 1915, Emory College moved to its present location in Druid Hills and was rechartered as Emory University. Emory maintained a presence in Oxford that eventually became Oxford College, a residential liberal arts college for the first two years of the Emory baccalaureate degree.[19] The university is the second-oldest private institution of higher education in Georgia and among the fifty oldest private universities in the United States.[20]
