I really do not enjoy math or statistics. While our graduate students employ a wide variety of both qualitative and quantitative approaches in their research, all are expected to become familiar with some basic quantitative research techniques. There are no specific foreign language requirements for the graduate program. However, students whose doctoral research requires knowledge of a foreign language must acquire and demonstrate the necessary proficiency. In addition, there is a strong commitment at Emory to close interaction with graduate students.
Students frequently become involved in faculty research.
In recent years, over 90 percent of first-year students have come back to continue the program in the second year.
