What are Emory University's most popular majors?

I'm thinking about applying to Emory University and am curious about the majors that are most popular there. Are there any programs that stand out in terms of enrollment or reputation? Any insights would be helpful!

Emory University is well-known for a range of strong academic programs, but some do stand out in terms of enrollment. The majors that traditionally draw the most students each year include:

1. Business Administration and Management — Offered through the renowned Goizueta Business School, this major gives students access to rigorous coursework and real-world business education.

2. Biology — This program is a mainstay for many students interested in pre-medical, pre-dental, or research paths.

3. Nursing — Emory's Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing is highly respected and offers Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral degree programs.

4. Psychology — Another large department with a multifaceted approach to the study of human behavior and mental processes.

5. Economics — This major is for students interested in studying the production and distribution of resources, goods, and services.

In terms of reputation, Emory's English, History, and Philosophy programs are also highly accomplished and garner significant respect in academic circles. Given Emory's strong liberal arts emphasis, humanities majors receive substantial support and resources. It's worth looking into each department beyond enrollment numbers as the overall focus and direction of a program maybe more important than its size or popularity.

Do bear in mind that choosing a major should ultimately come down to your individual interests and career goals—rather than its popularity among other students. I encourage you to explore your options and select a path that aligns with your aspirations. Good luck on your college journey!
