Emory University is a private research university in Atlanta, Georgia. It was founded in 1836 as Emory College by the Methodist Episcopal Church in Oxford, Georgia, and was named after Methodist bishop John Emory. In 1915 it moved to Druid Hills on land donated by Asa Griggs Candler, founder of Coca-Cola, and was rechartered as Emory University. It enrolls nearly 16,000 students across nine schools, including Emory College of Arts and Sciences, Oxford College, Goizueta Business School and a school of medicine. Emory became coeducational in 1953 and racially integrated in 1962. It is known for health sciences research and its close ties to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. First-year students may begin at Emory College in Atlanta or at Oxford College.
