Emory University continues to be listed among the nation\u2019s top universities, coming in at No. 23 in U.S. News & World Report\u2019s 2027 \u201cBest Colleges\u201d rankings. <\/span>
The rankings also list Emory at No. 19 for undergraduate teaching and No. 19 for \u201cBest Value,\u201d which is based on academic value and cost. This distinction recognizes Emory\u2019s longstanding commitment to making an exceptional education accessible to all qualified students. The university started the <\/span>Emory Advantage<\/span><\/a> program in 2007 and expanded it this fall with <\/span>Emory Advantage Plus<\/span><\/a>, which allows students whose families earn $200,000 or less to attend tuition-free. <\/span>
“We should take pride in this recognition and in the extraordinary faculty, students and staff whose talent and dedication define Emory,\u201d says Badia Ahad, Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs. \u201cI am especially proud of Emory\u2019s achievements for undergraduate teaching and best value. These distinctions reflect our commitment to ensuring that talented students from every background can access an exceptional education, learn from extraordinary faculty, and receive the support they need to flourish at Emory and beyond.\u201d<\/span>
Several undergraduate programs were also recognized by U.S. News. The Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing earned the No.1 spot for its undergraduate nursing program. Goizueta Business School\u2019s undergraduate business program ranked No. 15.<\/span>
\u201cI believe deeply that the caliber of Emory\u2019s academic enterprise, and our potential for even greater distinction, call us to keep raising our ambitions,\u201d says Ahad. \u201cOur focus must remain on the fundamentals of academic excellence, from student success and outcomes to groundbreaking research and scholarship, and on building the distinctive programs that will define Emory\u2019s next chapter. A ranking is one measure of our progress, but it is not the measure of our potential. We have much to celebrate, and even more to accomplish.\u201d<\/span>
Today\u2019s rankings follow other recognition Emory received this year. Emory was named one of the \u201c<\/span>New Ivies<\/span><\/a>\u201d (Forbes) for excellence in preparing students for careers with artificial intelligence and setting up graduates for success. Emory also placed No. 26 among the <\/span>World’s Top Universities of 2026<\/span><\/a> (TIME) and remains one of the <\/span>top producers<\/span><\/a> of students and alumni who receive the U.S. Fulbright Awards. <\/span>
