Emory College was founded in Oxford, Georgia, more than 180 years ago. It’s where a small-town college shaped a generation of leaders before moving to Atlanta and becoming a full-fledged university. Grounded in this history, it’s now the site of Oxford College, known for its close-knit relationships between students and faculty, leadership opportunities for first- and second-year students, challenging and innovative curriculum, and vibrant student body. It’s where you’ll get the best of both worlds—the resources of a major research university along with the benefits of a small liberal arts college setting.

Eyeopening You’ll see in small but meaningful ways just how much people care about one another at Oxford. Prepare to be amazed by the type of community you’ll find here.

The places you will go After your first two years at Oxford, your next stop is Emory’s Atlanta campus, where you’ll complete your studies in Emory College, Goizueta Business School, or the School of Nursing. Most Oxford students are very familiar with the Atlanta campus before they arrive as juniors, where they transition seamlessly into the academic and extracurricular life found there. You’ll participate in a special orientation and be connected with student mentors before you arrive. The best part? The close relationships students create at Oxford tend to follow them to their new campus home.

DETOUR TOWARD the unexpected There’s more than one way to learn Who’s to say that you can’t have fun, make great friends with your classmates—and professors—and still learn at the same time? At Oxford, you can. That’s because our community values closeness and friendliness as well as the serious pursuit of knowledge. Classes are small (86% have fewer than 30 students) and teaching is exemplary. You won’t find garden-variety here. Learn and do more Teachers and students are collaborators in learning at Oxford. Courses that prompt students to think differently or act differently—doing rather than passively listening—are the norm. Students find professors easy to approach. As a result, they jump right into learning— readily connecting with their professors and classmates, engaging with the readings and classwork, and speaking up in class.

Alifya finished her prerequisites early and entered the BBA program as a second-semester sophomore. Her goal is to someday build sustainable waste-management facilities in developing countries. “In the current global climate, I believe businesses have the most power to influence positive change,” she says. She enrolled in the BBA program from Emory College. “I appreciate that we had to wait a few semesters before entering the business school,” she says. “Having the college foundation and rigor helped me understand my work and study style, which ultimately led to success in b-school classes.”

Favorite class: Fixed Income, “an unconventional answer,” she says Extracurriculars: Outdoor Emory, BBA Council, Emory Entrepreneurship and Venture Management

Take your pick Goizueta’s BBA program consists of some 845 students who continue from Emory and Oxford colleges, building on their liberal arts foundations. Our curriculum gives you both traditional and customized options for pursuing your degree. We pack a lot into your two years here including: • 5 primary in-depth areas of study including accounting, finance, information systems and operations management, marketing, and strategy and management. • 4 collaborative concentrations with Emory College in arts management, environment and sustainability management, WESLEY LONGHOFER Assistant Professor of Organization and Management, Goizueta Business School Associated Assistant Professor of Sociology, Emory College

film and media management, and health innovation. • Junior and senior seminars that begin your professional development process, where you learn about interdisciplinary leadership research, develop industry-specific insights, and fine-tune your career skills.

What’s a sociologist doing in a business school? “No longer are business schools just places where students get jobs—they are also places where faculty research why organizations are such complex and often dysfunctional places to work,” says Wesley Longhofer. He leads students in the classroom and on trips to other countries in studying challenging and diverse social problems that might be solved by applying business principles. He has taken classes to the Dominican Republic to visit a garment factory that makes Emory t-shirts and to Paris for the 2015 UN Climate Change conference. “I remind students that solving problems isn’t so easy—but they should try,” he says.

• Case competitions, which strengthen your ability to think under pressure, tolerate ambiguity, and produce innovative solutions. • A BBA and master’s degree in five years or less with the BBA/MSBA master of science in business analytics or the BBA/MPA, which prepares you for the CPA exam. • An international outlook with globally focused classes and semester study abroad programs, including shorter international trips and internships as well as the opportunity to interact with the more than 100 exchange students at Goizueta each year. • A separate, BBA-focused Career Management Center that helps you find the right tools and path to pursue your professional goals. • Business Essentials, an exclusive program to sharpen your

research skills, which are highly sought in today’s marketplace. 30

Kira came to Emory intending to major in political science so she could become a diplomat and travel the world in the Foreign Service. But in her first year here, she found a passion for creative writing that she just couldn’t ignore. “My favorite classes are creative writing workshops. I love the fact that they are spaces of shared growth and creative freedom. While constructive critique is not my favorite, I have developed immensely as a writer and student from the focused, hands-on, small seminar settings of workshops,” she says. “I have been blown away by my peers’ work, and it is always fun witnessing everyone’s creations evolve and progress over the course of the semester.” She’s planning to study abroad during one of her upcoming semesters, so perhaps someday the Foreign Service will welcome a writer into its ranks?
