Emory University is a private research university in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. It was founded in 1836 as Emory College by the Methodist Episcopal Church and named in honor of Methodist bishop John Emory.[18] Its main campus is in the Druid Hills neighborhood, three miles (five kilometers) from downtown Atlanta.[19]

Emory is composed of nine undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools and enrolls nearly 16,000 students from the U.S. and over 100 foreign countries.[20] Emory Healthcare is the largest healthcare system in the state of Georgia[21] and comprises seven major hospitals, including Emory University Hospital and Emory University Hospital Midtown.[22] The university operates the Winship Cancer Institute, Yerkes National Primate Research Center, and many disease and vaccine research centers.[23][24] Emory University is adjacent to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and is a long-time partner in global and national prevention and research initiatives.[25] Emory University is the leading coordinator of the U.S. Health Department's National Ebola Training and Education Center.[26] The university is one of four institutions involved in the NIAID's Tuberculosis Research Units Program.[27] The International Association of National Public Health Institutes is headquartered at the university.[28]

Emory University has the 15th-largest endowment among U.S. colleges and universities.[9] The university is classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity"[29] and is cited for high scientific performance and citation impact in the CWTS Leiden Ranking.[30] Emory University was elected to the Association of American Universities in 1995.[31]

Emory faculty and alumni include one Vice President of the United States, two Prime Ministers, nine university presidents, eleven members of the United States Congress, two Nobel Peace Prize laureates, a United States Speaker of the House, and a United States Supreme Court Justice. Other notable alumni include 21 Rhodes Scholars and six Pulitzer Prize winners, as well as Emmy Award winners, Grammy Award winners, MacArthur Fellows, CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, heads of state and other leaders in foreign government.[32] Emory has more than 165,000 alumni, with 75 alumni clubs established worldwide in 20 countries.[20][33][34]

Some of their one hundred colleges and universities have all but severed ties with the denominations, but others remain definitely Methodist: Syracuse, Boston, Emory, Duke, Drew, Denver, and Southern Methodist. The church operates 360 schools and institutions overseas. Methodists established Goodwill Industries in 1907 to help handicapped persons help themselves by repairing and selling old furniture and clothes. The United Methodist Church runs seventy-two hospitals in the United States.
