Education Requirements

At Oxford College, we offer a liberal arts education intentionally designed for first-year and second-year students. The first two years of your Emory undergraduate education will equip you to thrive in your major and in the world beyond.

You’ll learn across a broad range of academic subjects and develop habits to help you become a lifelong learner. The entire community at Oxford, including faculty and your fellow students, will help you better understand how your talents and interests fit in a diverse world.

After completing your Oxford degree requirements, you'll continue your studies on Emory University’s Atlanta campus in the Emory College of Arts and Sciences, Goizueta Business School, or Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, where you can earn a bachelor’s degree in the liberal arts, business or nursing.

As an Oxford graduate, you’ll be automatically enrolled in Emory College. However, you won’t be able to transfer to Emory College as a junior without meeting your Oxford degree requirements.

After completing your Oxford degree, you also have the option of applying to Emory’s Goizueta Business School or Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing to earn a bachelor of business administration or a bachelor of nursing degree.

Once you make the move to Atlanta, the Oxford Continuee Societyas Oxford graduates are knownwill welcome you to campus with social activities and transition support.
