Background
True immersion program as you enroll in St. Peter's College, a part of Oxford University. Study through the tutorial system, eat in the College dining hall, and live in the College residence hall. Full year only and a 3.7 GPA required. Only two students may participate per year.
The city of Oxford, which is 55 miles from London, is home to one of the world's most famous universities. With a population of only 140,000, Oxford is truly a college town.
Courses
Students study through the traditional tutorial method, which involves meeting one-on-one or in small groups with a member of the St. Peter's College faculty each week. Students take two tutorials per term, for a total of six during the year (the equivalent of 9 Hendrix credits). The individual tutors provide personal instruction in virtually any course of study from the fields of humanities and social sciences.
