Cor Prudentis Possidebit Scientiam: "The wise heart seeks knowledge."

Emory University motto, Proverbs 18:15

Academics

Emory is named for a Methodist bishop who believed in education's potential for molding character as well as the mind. More than 170 years after its founding, the school offers demanding academics to enable students to develop individual expertise and values, expressed in service to others.

The University offers academic degrees and programs through nine schools, with particular strengths in the arts and sciences, business, law, theology and the health professions. The academic year is divided into two semesters, plus a summer term.

Individual integrity is expected and respected here. A strong system of school-based honor codes safeguards the University's academic integrity. All students agree by their enrollment to abide by their school's honor code.

Kim Wallen

Psychology Department

What are the inherent differences between the sexes? If Kim Wallen could answer just one question, that would be it. Wallen, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Neuroendocrinology, first became interested in sex differences while growing up on an Oregon goat farm. Today he studies sex differences in rhesus macaques. "The whole thing about science is that you are seeing something that no one has seen before. And there are truths in the world that will be revealed if you pay attention," he says. "That's what drives you as a scientist -- that you can make some sense of the world."
