Applying to the GDR

We strongly encourage you to use the online application. This allows the GDR and the course of study you are applying  immediate access to your application, and allows you to track which credentials we have received.

When you apply online you do not need to also send a paper application -- unless you are applying to more than one program at Emory University.  If you are applying to several Emory programs, use the online application for one program, and paper application(s) for the other(s).

The Application Deadline

To ensure your application's full consideration, please make sure your entire application, including supporting documents, are submitted by January 3.

The Online Application

Application to the GDR is accomplished through the Graduate School admissions system.  Click here to go to the appropriate Graduate School page.
