It's basically a 3-2 engineering program. Hundreds of schools offer them. It's not an engineering program at Emory. It's pre-engineering at Emory and then trying to transfer to an engineering program at GA Tech. Admission to GA Tech's engineering program is not guaranteed. If this qualifies Emory as "having an engineering program" then hundreds of SLACs also have engineering programs. Bowdoin, Amherst, Oberline, Reed, Grinnell, Macalester and every other LAC that I can think of offer the same thing.

Emory doesn't have an engineering program.

The poster who keeps saying that Emory doesn't have engineering is being a little stupid. Emory offers engineering but in partnership with GA Tech.

As a side note the new President of Emory is an engineer and one of his charges is to help Emory strengthen its engineering offering - so my guess is that they will try to build out a program that takes place just at Emory. Not sure this is a high priority now given Covid but I'm sure that was part of the appeal of hiring the new President - he came from UT-Austin.

Just wanted to bring some facts to the conversation. FWIW my kid is a political science major (pre-law) and loves Emory and is having a good experience - despite Covid. And I too do not think of Emory as a engineering school but to say they don't offer engineering is just stupid.

Emory does not offer engineering. You cannot take Engineering courses at Emory. You take three years of classes at Emory and then transfer to Georgia Tech for two (or three) years. It’s the exact same program at Montgomery College, a local cc offers. A student who did it thru MC and a student who did it through Emory would get the exact same engineering diploma.

I know you go to UMich but it can't be too hard for you. Google Emory career placement. You'll find it.

Duh, I can google. It does say anything about that list being non-business majors tho.

Outsourced to GeorgeTech is not the same as made by Emory.

Handy link. If you look at the sidebar on the left, at Undergraduate, click on New Applicants to see numbers accepted and enrolled as well as test score ranges.

Here's a vid of a HS student getting rejected from Emory EARLY DECISION 1. Yet got into Umich REGULAR DECISION with scholarship.
Umich is a glorified commuter school and is not prestigious. Parents at my prep school would be irate if there children only got into Umich after paying thousands for private high school education. Umich is not on Emory's teir in well connect and high value circles. Us news has proven that for over 20 years. Get over it!!


When did we jump from comparing Engineering programs (and other programs/metrics) to connections? Stick to the topic. Emory is NOT an engineering school.


But it IS an engineering school. Stop putting out false information

Show us a webpage of the engineering faculty.

Uh Short Line is best because it offers a safe landing between the expensive green blue properties. Emory is second.
