OXFORD SUMMER PROGRAM
For almost 40 years, the University of Oklahoma College of Law has conducted a program at Oxford University for American law students. The Oxford Summer Program affords students an opportunity to live and study in stimulating and beautiful surroundings under the guidance of American and English legal educators. It also affords students the opportunity to visit and observe English legal institutions.
Oxford is one of the great architectural treasures of the world, containing examples of building styles from the eleventh to the twentieth centuries. Along with Cambridge, Oxford University is one of the two universities in Europe that has preserved the medieval collegiate system. Brasenose College, where the OU program is held, is located in Radcliffe Square in the center of Oxford. It is surrounded by St. Mary’s Church, All Souls College, the Bodleian (University) Library and Exeter College. Brasenose College is a descendant of Brasenose Hall, which traces its history to 1262.
