I have recently learned about Oxford College, where it only consists of first and second-year students. I like this idea, but I just wanted to know if there were other universities with colleges like Oxford?
Oxford is really rather unique. There are only two analogs I can think of and neither of them is really much like Oxford.
The first is Deep Springs College. Deep Springs is a very small college in a very rural area - an isolated cattle ranch in the Deep Springs Valley which is an hour away from the nearest town (not major city…town of any size). The college is a two-year college and only admits around 26 students a year. It is a highly prestigious two-year college, and after their two years many students transfer to elite universities. Deep Springs also produces a high rate of PhDs and other graduate degrees. But it’s not affiliated with any specific university, so there’s no guaranteed transfer to another university. (Also, Deep Springs used to be men’s only. They are trying to go co-ed, but there are some legal complications so I’m not sure they have.)
The second is the University of Virginia’s College at Wise, a small public liberal arts college. It’s part of UVa, so you get many of the benefits and amenities of the university, but Wise is a four-year college - you can go to Wise and finish up there without ever going to the main UVa campus. It’s not really intended for you to transfer to UVa, and I don’t know how difficult it would be for you to transfer from Wise to UVa after two years. They’re also much farther apart - Wise, VA is 4.5 hours away from Charlottesville.
I’m not sure there really is anything like Oxford out there.
While Emory/Oxford is unique, some 2 year CCs are feeling more and more like this - about 25% have dorms now (though still mostly commuter schools) and in some locations, completion of certain courses and a certain GPA will guarantee a transfer to a 4 year school. That’s true for some schools where I live, and hopefully in other states as well.
Georgia Tech used to have a 2 year feeder program in Savannah, but they closed the undergraduate program there.
Probably the most analogous setups are:
A. Arrangements between state universities and same-state community colleges for transfer preparation, particularly when the community college is near the state university. In some cases, the community college has a substantial resident population that is targeting transfer to the university, and off-campus student housing may cater to them as well as the university students (e.g. UCSB and SBCC).
B. Similar, but more expensive, arrangements between the Penn State University Park campus and its branch campuses (though the branches offer a few 4 year programs in addition to transfer preparation to University Park).
