International Student and Scholar Programs (ISSP)

If you are an international student who is considering Emory College as your destination, please take a moment to check out Emory’s International Student and Scholar Programs (ISSP) website.

ISSP offers a range of services and programs designed to assist international students and scholars, as well as the wider community with whom they interact.

The ISSP staff is professionally trained to offer advising and programs about immigration and financial concerns, and academic counseling to help students and scholars with the U.S. academic system and university requirements. Staff members are also available for discussion and counseling about personal matters, such as adjusting to a new culture and other problems that may arise.

On a broader level, ISSP creates an educational and cultural bridge among Emory international students and scholars, the Emory community, and the broader community of Atlanta, Georgia, and the U.S.

ESL

Emory's undergraduate curriculum places high demands on:

  • listening proficiency
  • oral communication
  • reading comprehension
  • writing skills
  • vocabulary development
  • grammar

Any student who speaks English as an additional language and would like support in any of these areas is encouraged to seek ESL services. Individual consultations and group interventions are available through Learning Programs.
