By focusing upon the educational needs of freshmen and sophomores, Oxford
College concentrates its efforts on providing students with opportunities to
acquire the skills and knowledge necessary for academic success in the
remaining
years of their undergraduate study and to develop the values that characterize a
well-educated person. To achieve these ends, both the curriculum and the
cocurricular activities of Oxford College are designed to teach students to read
perceptively, think independently, communicate clearly, and embrace responsible
citizenship. Thus, Oxford College creates an environment in which motivated
students progress toward the kind of intellectual, social, and personal maturity
that will help them lead full and useful lives.
