Oxford College is a smaller (about 700 students) 2-year “branch campus” where the students automatically continue onto main campus as long as they have a 2.5 GPA. It is also much easier to get in than main campus (Emory College). The Oxford campus is the original campus for Emory University before it moved to Atlanta. The Oxford campus is in Oxford,GA about 45 minutes from main campus.
The school is not very well known, but its popularity is gaining quickly. Some consider it a “back-door” to main campus Emory and tend to look down on it.
