The Scholar's Semester In Oxford

Live and Learn in the British Tutorial Tradition

The Scholarship and Christianity in Oxford (SCIO) program—both semester and year-long options—is designed for students who want to develop their academic writing abilities and hone their research skills while studying areas of individual scholarly interest with advanced academic tutors. The year-long program may be attractive for students with a single major whose curriculum can be adapted to a small set of major and minor tutorials, and who expect to go on to graduate-level study. The year-long option is limited to three students, selected through a more rigorous application process.

Student Spotlight

“Over four years, opportunities within the biology program and elsewhere opened my eyes to all the passions that I have and all my different options and gifts; however, going to a new country, a new everything, makes you realize it on a more macro scale. Looking back on my time at Gordon and Oxford, I can see how my interests have grown and developed and taken me places that I never would have imagined.”
