Academic Affairs

By focusing upon the educational needs of freshmen and sophomores, Oxford College concentrates its efforts on providing students with opportunities to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary for academic success in the remaining years of their undergraduate study and to develop the values that characterize a well-educated person. To achieve these ends, both the curriculum and the cocurricular activities of Oxford College are designed to teach students to read perceptively, think independently, communicate clearly, and embrace responsible citizenship. Thus, Oxford College creates an environment in which motivated students progress toward the kind of intellectual, social, and personal maturity that will help them lead full and useful lives.
