If you answer yes to one or more of these questions, then study toward the Ph.D. at Emory might be the right choice for you. The hallmark of the Emory Ph.D. Program is the close interaction between faculty and students. Classes are small and interactive, and students have the opportunity to obtain a deep understanding of the material presented in class.
Many students write research papers with the faculty.
In some cases, this work develops into part of the dissertation. Other joint work stands alone, and is submitted to academic journals for publication. Almost all of this work is presented in the weekly Department research seminar. At Emory, we only admit students interested in obtaining the Ph.D. degree. The Masters degree instead is usually a step on the way to a Ph.D. Most graduate students are apprentice faculty, who conduct research and teach courses.
