About UGA at Oxford
The UGA at Oxford program has been in existence for over thirty years, making it one of the best established study abroad programs in Oxford and at UGA. We offer a vast array of courses in a wide range of disciplines – humanities, sciences, international affairs, business, communications, law and more – with something for every major. We also have sessions at every stage of the year, with regular semester programs for Fall and Spring, an intensive Junemester option, and summer term programs. On average, students take 12 credit hours during a semester program, or 6 hours during summer programs.
There are also many other things which make the UGA at Oxford program special. First, all our course offerings are regular UGA classes enrolled through Athena, earning direct UGA credit, counting towards your major’s pathway, paying regular in-state tuition, and covered by any existing financial aid. However, unlike taking these classes on campus in Athens, they are taught by Oxford faculty and take place in the distinctive Oxford style of undergraduate education. Second, unlike any other study abroad program, we have both UGA-owned facilities in Oxford as well as the ability for students to integrate into the actual Oxford college system. This provides both the safety and standards of a UGA campus, with full immersion in the authentic Oxford student experience.
