Office for Undergraduate Education

The Office for Undergraduate Education (OUE) stewards the academic experience of undergraduates in Emory College of Arts and Sciences (Emory College). It promotes academic excellence by providing leadership and support across the College and creating opportunities for growth both in the classroom and beyond.

The OUE advances the vision of Emory College by collaborating with its faculty and Emory University partners to deliver a transformative liberal arts education—one that encourages students to cultivate critical thinking, cross-disciplinary perspectives, compassionate listening, and intellectual curiosity. In this endeavor, it co-creates academic experiences that enable each Emory College student to reach their full potential and contribute meaningfully to Emory University's mission to “create, preserve, teach, and apply knowledge in the service of humanity.”
