Star treks.

There’s a whole planet to explore. Travel courses at Oxford combine academics with experience. Travel to learn and contribute to various communities at locations in Georgia, the US and around the world.

These courses not only provide you a rigorous academic experience but expose you to unique opportunities for personal development. From learning how to analytically assess real-life situations to honing the social skills to be an effective leader, our travel courses will push you to grow.

“Oxford students can choose from several courses, across disciplines, that contain a travel component. Work closely with Oxford faculty on campus throughout the semester and complete the course while traveling for 8-12 days during one of the breaks.”

In addition to travel for courses, Oxford offers noncredit programs such as Global Connections and Journeys.

In Global Connections, students explore and connect their spiritual, religious and personal convictions by examining issues of justice including peace, poverty, human rights, and the environment.

Journeys allows students travel to communities in the US and abroad that have a history of conflict, violence, or exploitation.
