The university's main campus in Druid Hills exhibits a notable Suburban Gothic architectural style, hosting a diverse student body and fostering a commitment to teaching, research, and community service. Emory is widely acclaimed for its programs in public health at the Rollins School of Public Health, business at the Goizueta Business School, and health care at the Emory University Hospital, among other disciplines.
