Oxford honors program

Living in England gave me a renewed zest for life and adventure. Of course, she grew exponentially as a student during her study at the best university in the world.

This growth, though, was not limited to just her time at Oxford, truly beginning in the preparation for her time overseas. Some of the most thought-provoking and intelligent conversations I have ever had occurred with fellow Oxford students.

I am excited to bring those skills to further schooling, jobs, and even my family. Now a senior at GC, reflecting back on her time at Oxford and looking forward to the next phase of life, Sandquist knows her time at Oxford will prove invaluable moving forward, and she will always have the memories and relationships formed thanks to the program. Through experiencing such a profound shared goal that we all worked so hard for, we grew even closer, and I know we will be reminiscing on those weeks for the rest of our lives.

Asked if she has any advice for future applicants, Sandquist tells them not to hesitate. However, if you are passionate about what you are studying, motivated by a challenge, and eager to grow in your ability to read, write, and argue analytically then Oxford will feel like home. For so many, including Sandquist, Oxford University started as a dream, but thanks to the Oxford Honors Program, that dream became a reality. That moment made me so excited for all the dreams I will dream in the coming decades of my life because now I know what it takes to achieve them.

For more than 25 years, the William Jewell College Oxbridge Honors Program has been preparing students with the knowledge, vision, and flexibility to succeed in the highly-competitive and rapidly evolving environments of academics, professions, business, and service.

The primary difference is the tutorial method of study. In addition, the Oxbridge curriculum promotes study in greater depth. Whereas students in a classroom English or History major might take survey courses, using an anthology or textbook as their source of readings, Oxbridge students read selected topics from primary sources. The tutorial, with its emphasis on classic works and cutting edge scholarship, leads naturally to detailed consideration of a single topic rather than coverage of many.

Under the open year policy, first-year students are accepted into the Program as Oxbridge open students for an exploratory and trial year; students who enter the Program at the beginning of the sophomore year are open students for the fall semester and become majors for the spring semester.

Toward the end of the open year, or for sophomore-entry students, toward the end of the fall semester, students will apply for admission to one of the Oxbridge majors.
