"This was the right fit for me. I am in Global Health with a concentration in nutrition. I would like to develop programs and implement them in the field and Emory allows me to develop the skills needed for my career of choice. Although transportation in Atlanta isn't the best, it is a very affordable place to live with plenty of things to do. It is a larger graduate program, so I don't know my entire cohort, but there are numerous opportunities to network. Overall my experience has been positive."

"I am extremely happy with my graduate program. The program is reasonably priced compared to other public health programs and goes above and beyond to provide students with the best possible education. I have found my courses to be a perfect balance of theory and application. Professors are approachable and really want students to succeed. The program requires 250+ hours of public health experience which allows students to practice what they learn in the classroom and helps students determine where they want to be after graduation. I feel that the combination of diverse courses offered and hands-on work experience prepares students for life beyond school. Plus, Atlanta is a great place to live!"

"This program is one of the most well regarded in the country. It combines in class technology and real time experience to further your education. The only downside is the Atlanta traffic and the expense of the private school."

"Emory University's School of Law provides a solid educational foundation, with dedicated and talented faculty and staff. The pros would be: the quality of the professors, the amazing location, great job opportunities, and the environment of unity and fellowship. Cons might be the very tight grading curve and cost of living associated with living in a large metropolitan area."

"Excellent graduate education. Useful coursework in the fundamentals of neuroscience as well as neuroethics and career options outside of academia. Amazing student organization and social support. Diverse faculty, doors are always open to talk and there are numerous options for collaborations. Would absolutely choose Emory again for my graduate education knowing what I know now after having spent time in the program."

"Candler School of Theology has been a wonderful experience for me. I have been immersed in the culture and learning of this institution and have been influenced positively from the professors and employees of the school. I would recommend this school to any person who desires an academic approach to understanding the complexity of God and how to think theologically, which would be tremendously beneficial to any area in the marketplace!"

"This program is very good at teaching neurorehabilitative physical therapy. Although Emory has all the resources (and some great ones at that), there isn't a huge emphasis on orthopedic physical therapy throughout the curriculum."

"Rollins does a great job of helping students network, land internships, and navigate careers in public health. Faculty members are very approachable and accessible and there are ample opportunities for thesis projects. The CDC is located within walking distance (it's literally right next door to Rollins) and offer work study jobs, internships, etc. to Rollins students. Only criticism I have for Rollins is about their dual degree curriculum. I'm enrolled in the fast track, one-year dual degree program and was hoping for some kind of accelerated coursework designed specifically for dual degrees. Having a slow first semester makes it a little bit difficult to get a jump start on our thesis project, because our epi methods and biostats base is still pretty limited after the first semester."

"My degree at Emory provided me with a wealth of knowledge and the confidence that I would succeed in the real world. I was also given the opportunity to do research abroad in West Africa through generous funding by Emory research organizations. Overall, the quality of professors and level of education I received at Emory supersedes any experience I've had at any other universities."

"The Emory Political Science program is designed to generate quantitatively-focused scholars in academe. If you have career ambitions different from that, it may not be the right place. It also has outstanding financial aid packages. The campus and surrounding city (Atlanta) are awesome."

"I received an excellent education in Political Science and Spanish at Emory. While I ended up pursuing a career path (Business, specifically Sales) that might be construed by many as entirely unrelated to Political Science, I would disagree. My liberal arts education taught me how think critically, to analyze any complex situation and plan my actions accordingly and with confidence. These qualities have served me very well thus far in my career in business, particularly as I have entered into some roles where I had little experience and have had to teach myself how to be successful with minimal guidance. On a more basic level but perhaps equally as important, my Spanish education, which was made more profound by a semester-long language and cultural immersion program, has opened many doors for me as empoloyers are often interested in bilingual candidates. At Emory, I was also offered the opportunity to take a business class or two, even though I was not a part of the Business School. With Emory's location in Atlanta, GA, as well as its strong relationships with many Atlanta businesses, there was no shortage of internship opportunities for Emory students, which I also took advantage of during my undergraduate experience. The only thing I might criticize is that, for BA or BS students outside of the Business School who might not plan on going to grad school right away, the career counseling was sub-par. The resources were available if you really sought it out, as I did, but certainly not available in the way that they were to Business students. In fact, the job fairs, in my opinion, were less than impressive for a school of Emory's reputation. That might be due to the perception by many corporations that Emory produces students that will immediately go to Medical, Law, or graduate school some other kind. Finally, I would also cite Emory's rank and general reputation as a prestigious instituation as something that has helped me. It seems trivial and maybe a little shallow, but I would be lying if I didn't say it factored in, at least to a degree!"

"Emory RSPH offers a program academically competitive with all other Schools of Public Health but with the advantage of being located in Atlanta, GA, which is known as the Public Health Capital of the World because of the numerous health-related companies and organizations based there.
