OXFORD UNIVERSITY
Stetson University offers an honors option for study at world-renowned Oxford University. Participants are classified as Registered Visiting Students with all of the privileges of Oxford University students. Oxford University is known for its academics, impressive architecture, and as the alma mater of kings and great scholars. It is the oldest English language university in the world, and students are immersed in a rich history and tradition dating back eight centuries.
Oxford's system of education is unique. Generally, students choose two subjects per semester for intensive study. They meet with Oxford tutors (normally one-on-one) weekly, and tutorials are supported by lectures. Students are expected to keep up with a demanding schedule of reading and writing throughout the semester. Although there are some set course offerings, students can also create their own courses and tutors will usually be found to supervise.
Oxford is truly a university town. In addition to being a scholarly center, it boasts a vibrant student culture with a variety of nightspots, cafes, theatres, and museums. Students are encouraged to take full advantage of the Oxford experience by joining one or more of the hundreds of student societies and organizations on campus.
Excursions may include trips to Cambridge, Stratford- upon-Avon, and London. Excursions change each semester.
The Stetson Abroad program is competitive. Enrollment is limited in all programs. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee admission to a given program in a given semester.
