Staying power.

Emory University’s two undergraduate colleges, Oxford College and Emory College, both have roots on Oxford’s campus. It's where Emory College was established in 1836, when it began to shape a generation of leaders in the South, the nation and beyond.

Today, Oxford College is one of two choices for entering Emory undergraduates. Oxford provides a distinctive, liberal arts–focused education for the first and second years of college in a small-town, close-knit setting. Students excel here as leaders inside and outside the classroom.

One of Emory’s nine undergraduate, graduate and professional schools, Oxford is among its most diverse. The campus is particularly community-oriented, with students and professors as partners in learning. Oxford alumni continue to be loyal supporters of their college, long after graduation.

As Emory undergraduates, Oxford students have full access to the University’s resources and programs. A shuttle runs between the Atlanta and Oxford campuses several times a day and more frequently on weekends.
