Overview

Following the completion of the Travel Portion, students will arrive in Oxford, England to complete 6 more credit hours while living in Oxford, UK. All Travel Portion students must also participate in the Oxford In-Residence program.  When applying for the program, please make sure to choose "Oxford Summer Program" on OIE's website. In order to accommodate as many students as possible on both the Travel & In-Residence portions, participating in Oxford In-Residence only is not currently an option for applicants.

Program Charge

• Total Program Charge: $13,000
  • The Program Charge covers pre-arranged expenses such as housing, city-to city transportation, many but not all meals, museum and concert entrance fees, and health insurance.

The Program Charge is paid in 3 Separate Installments: A $500 deposit paid as part of the initial application process. This deposit is the first installment to the total program charge although students are not considered as completed applicants before paying this fee and completing all other application steps. Once accepted, the remaining Program Charge costs will be paid in two separate installments and will be due during the Spring semester. Students who wish to apply financial aid to Program Charge payments may request to defer the Program Charge payment to the Summer 2024 Financial Aid disbursement deadline. Please note that if any amount of expected financial aid is not awarded, the student is still responsible in full for program charge payments.

Airfare

• 2025 Group Flight Cost: TBA

All students participating in the Oxford Program will have the option to participate in the group flight. However, students are not required to fly with the group. Students who would like to participate should indicate so on the information to be turned in after acceptance. The group flight will include a round trip ticket from Atlanta to the first city on the travel group itinerary, and from London back to Atlanta. This is done to ensure that students are not penalized for being placed in a group with a more expensive flight itinerary. Once a student has selected “YES” to the group flight option, all tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable. 

Tuition

All students will pay regular in State tuition.  Those receiving HOPE scholarship can apply it to tuition while studying abroad. All students are required to pay the Institute's regular technology fee and USG Institutional Fee.
