The Oxford Thread: Questions and Conversation

<p>I’m not even referring to Emory/Georgia tech; I’m referring to business/computer science only at Emory to be superhuman.</p>

<p>If you bring in credit for those you expect, you will need Calculus II, Calculus III, Linear Algebra, Chemistry, Physics I, Physics II, a Science Elective, Computer Science I, and two English composition courses. At Oxford, many of these courses are only taught once per year (and, at that, they’ll only be one section of the course that you hope you can get in or fit within your schedule). Because of the credit hour system at Oxford, you will take 4 courses per semester (for a total of 16 courses in four semesters). Note that you already need 8 courses to fulfill the GA Tech requirements–half of all the courses you’ll take. That doesn’t include additional prerequisite courses required for business school.</p>

<p>In addition to those courses, you’ll need to complete the general education courses for both Oxford and the College of Arts and Sciences (or the business school). You will also need to either graduate Oxford early or attend summer school to meet the minimum residence requirement to graduate from the College or the Business school.</p>

<p>Since the business school is a two-year program (after your first two years), it’s not possible for you to start at Oxford and graduate with a BBA in three years (even if you graduate from Oxford a semester early)–though that’s also impossible if you start at the College. Even if you didn’t go to the business school and did computer science, it’s impossible to graduate with a computer science degree in three years starting from Oxford.</p>

<p>The BBA program also requires a lot of core courses, so making it through the BBA program and the computer science program would still be very tough because there are a lot of courses to complete and there are few sections of the upper-level computer science courses.</p>
