Congratulations and welcome to our first Economics 4+1 Program cohort! We have 10 students taking on this wonderful opportunity. We wish them much success this school year. Follow their 4+1 journey through our social media pages.

We welcome the Class of 2027 to Emory! In total, Emory admitted 5,445 students with 3,428 applicants offered admission to Emory College and 3,335 offered admission to Oxford College. Of those numbers 1,376 were admitted to both colleges. Oxford received its largest applicant pool ever this year. The Economics Department looks forward to connecting with these new Emory students.
