In addition, the Career Center helps students locate jobs and provides counseling in career opportunities in different areas. A large percentage of Emory students intend to pursue a professional education after obtaining an undergraduate degree. There are no actual pre-professional majors, so students interested in these fields may major in several areas of undergraduate study at Emory. In fact, there are no required courses for pre-law, but courses with intense reading and writing components, are strongly recommended. Those planning to go to medical, dental, or veterinary school should plan to take biology, chemistry, organic chemistry and physics.
Advisors are available for all pre-professional students for consultation and further information.
Emory has an outstanding record of graduate school acceptance. This program was cancelled in 1997. Students have the convenience of registering for their classes and completing their financial aid as if they would be in Atlanta, however, they will be at an Emory program abroad. Emory is located only 6 miles from downtown Atlanta, one of America's most exciting cities. Emory students may be involved in the Atlanta community in a number of social service and internship projects.
