About Strategic Priorities

Emory College of Arts and Sciences is dedicated to the discovery of knowledge, the creation of new works and paradigm-shifting research. We seek to increase and amplify the impact of this work — from the students we educate, to the faculty scholarship that shapes our understanding of the world — as we set and pursue our strategic priorities.

Emory College faculty and administrators have developed a set of strategic priorities and initiatives to advance the College of Arts and Sciences as a leader in setting the standard for what a liberal arts research university can achieve.

The College’s Strategic Priorities developed thus far push forward our liberal arts and sciences mission and commitment to academic excellence with a focus on faculty support and development, an exceptional student experience, and targeted research areas that have high potential for broad impact.
