Experience Oxford

Part of Emory

Of Emory's nine schools, Oxford is among its most diverse. In fact, 19% of our students are international.

Liberal Arts Intensified

It’s knowledge turned up a notch. It’s where you put theory into practice and practice what we teach.

Leadership

Led by Dean Douglas Hicks, Oxford’s leadership team includes faculty, staff, and students.

A history of making a difference.

Emory began when it was founded on the Oxford College campus more than 175 years ago.

It’s where a small liberal arts college shaped a generation of leaders before moving to Atlanta to become a full-fledged university. Today, Oxford students still excel as leaders—and as models of community service.

Where We Are

Oxford College is about a 45-minute drive from Emory University’s main campus in Atlanta.

There is more to this distinctive place than its location on the map. Plan a visit to the Oxford campus and our hometown, the historic birthplace of Emory.

Different at First Glance

Forging Pathways of Excellence

For nearly 180 years, our campus has served as a crossroads where people venture to be educated and then follow their own paths to serve a world in need of thoughtful, principled, and effective leaders.

Oxford’s 2020 strategic plan outlines the steps the college will take, with the help of its dedicated alumni, to harness its strengths in academics, teaching, and leadership training for first- and second-year students to make, paraphrasing former president Atticus Haygood, what is really good much better.
