Ever wanted to teach a class about something you are passionate about? This semester, the Experimental College, sponsored by the Emory SGA, will provide these opportunities. The Experimental College is a student government-based, grassroots initiative that has support from various quarters of the university. It is completely cost-free, volunteer-based and community-oriented. Submit your idea for a course you would like to teach here. We are looking for not only different subject matter but also different ways of presenting material.

Before the middle of September, the SGA will publish the Experimental College course atlas. Classes will be free for all Emory students, and the Student Government Association will handle enrollment and all other logistics.

The Experimental College fits into a larger initiative of the Student Government Association to foster community at Emory. It breaks down barriers of traditional education and brings people from various, diverse backgrounds together to exchange ideas.
