It is ideally located just two blocks from the bustling center of town and a two-minute walk from the quiet English countryside dotted with cows and sheep. Oakland University and the University of Detroit Mercy are proud to cooperate with Corpus Christi College to offer our British Studies at Oxford Program. It is designed to give vital, first-hand exposure to the historical, artistic, political, cultural, and commercial milieu that informed literary and political works, business management, communication, and educational theories, and fine arts studied in our courses. All courses consist of a combination of lecture and tutorial, many of them with course-related excursions. Each course meets for a minimum of ten hours of lecture a week in addition to individual and group tutorials.
Tutors require either tests or essays, sometimes both.
Most courses are open to graduates and undergraduates as well as to those who can demonstrate university academic proficiency. All courses may be taken for university credit or may be audited, but auditors are expected to take seriously the academic responsibilities of the program.
