<p>I’ve suggested the school consider a more distinctive degree title, but currently all students received the Associate of Arts degree (in particular, I’ve suggested the Associate of Arts and Sciences degree–AA&S to avoid confusion with the Associate of Applied Sciences degree offered elsewhere). This suggestion is under review.</p>
<p>Further, the College of Arts and Sciences has majors; Oxford does not. So all students receive the AA degree without a major, and then continue to pursue the degree of Bachelor Arts, Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Medical Science, Bachelor of Science, or Bachelor of Science in Nursing.</p>
<p>Yes, all students, regardless of course of study receive an AA at the end of their Oxford career. The poster above me actually corrected an error on the Oxford’s formal diploma.</p>
<p>By the time I’m done with my Oxford career, I’ll likely have taken at least 5 semesters of science and four of math, but I’ll still be awarded an AA degree.</p>
<p>One more question as you all know so much about Oxford. We are international living in US since last 5 years, and in queue for Green Card. Therefore my daughter is being treated as international student for financial aid. It appears they do not award financial aid to internationals except probaly those of exceptional merit. Is this impression correct? FYI we do not see any aid for my daughter even though she indicated in her app that she needs finaid.</p>
<p>Also if we were to get Green Card in next 6 months (likely), could we apply for financial aid (Emory says it is need blind for permanent resident) for next semester?</p>
<p>Emory only awards merit aid to people that applied for the Scholar’s program, and I believe that’s limited to permanent residents/citizens. I’d contact financial aid or admissions regarding that question, but I believe the answer would be yes. If finances are a serious concern, your daughter might want to consider delaying Emory by one school year as you get your paperwork in order.</p>
<p>You should do the typical wait-list things: Contact the admissions officer for your area to reaffirm your interest and provide any significant updates to your application (but only if there are significant updates). Good luck!</p>
<p>No. Oxford does not meet any of the essential qualities of a community college–it is not public; it does not offer technical or vocation training; it does not offer adult or continuing education; and its primary students are not drawn from its local area (in fact, only about 25% are from Georgia at all). It is also not technically a junior college for any other purpose than sports competition because it isn’t an independent educational institution; rather, it is one of five undergraduate degree-granting divisions of Emory University.</p>
<p>I’m from Southern California. When I came here, I expected the South to be a lot warmer than it actually was. Whereas back home I could wear a hoodie and jeans in the middle of January, if I tried that at Oxford (and I did many times), I’d have to run from class to class because I was so cold. That being said, the weather is a lot better than other, non California, regions of the country. </p>
<p>Coming from SoCal I wasn’t used to the rain. In fact I came during the summer for Own Oxford (great program, highly recommend it) and started freaking out because I’d never seen rain in July. Yea. The humidity wasn’t nearly as bad as people made it out to be, and even in July, I could run around outside for hours at a time without feeling too sticky and gross. </p>
<p>Right now the weather’s fantastic. For the past week or so I’ve worn just a shirt and shorts and haven’t had any issues with the cold.</p>
<p>It is a junior college in that it does give an AA degree upon completion of two years. Though Penn State is a public university, its satellite system has some similar schools in that those that satisfactorily reach junior status are guaranteed admission to the main school, there is also a terminal degree offered.</p>
<p>Unless you consider an AA to be a terminal degree, Oxford doesn’t offer any terminal degrees. It’s strictly a two year college, that doesn’t grant certificates (except for one bs certificate in “leadership”), bachelor of arts or sciences, or anything else that typical satellite campuses offer.</p>
<p>Hey guys,
I’m from Ohio and I got into the local schools with a fair amount of financial aid but I also got admitted to Oxford. I want to dual major in business and computer science, but Ohio State University and Miami University (full rides to both) aren’t really that solid in the fields I want to pursue (I got reject from all my reaches but Emory Oxford). So naturally being able to cipher into the 5th ranked business school (Goizueta) and with the 3-2 plan available in conjunction with Georgia Tech in computer science, which is 10th in CS, it all seems like a solid choice for my future. Am I making the right choice? I’ve noticed concerns about Emory Oxford’s and Emory’s computer science program and how realistic is the 3-2 plan since I’d only be at Emory’s main campus for a year? Thoughts?</p>
<p>Let me restructure my question: I am for sure going to Emory Oxford, but given that I want to do computer science and business, I am going to have to bolster the weaker computer science department found at Emory and Oxford. Thus, I am going to pursue the 3-2 or dual degree program with Georgia Tech. I would like to know, realistically, how much time I’d be spending at both schools and if graduating from the Goizueta business school in 3 years is feasible starting from Oxford given the limited course selection compared to Emory’s main campus. Thanks in advance. Hope to see you this Friday (visiting)!
