Academic choices. Students have four distinct choices to complete their undergraduate education. Oxford College Emory is alone among top research universities in offering two academically equivalent but environmentally distinct options for entering students. Founded in 1836, Emory College began in a small town about thirty-eight miles east of Atlanta. Thanks to the generosity of the Candler family, in 1915 Emory College moved its campus inside the city of Atlanta. The university decided to keep the original campus and while Oxford’s history is rich, today Oxford College is an academically equivalent but environmentally different opportunity for first and second year students. Students may apply to Oxford College to spend their first two years in a small- town/suburban setting.
