| CAMPUS SUMMARY |
 |
Oglethorpe University, founded in 1835, is a private, coeducational liberal arts university in the Southeast’s leading metropolis, Atlanta. Located on 100 acres north of Buckhead, the campus is minutes from all Atlanta has to offer – internships, shopping, cultural and sporting events. A diverse student body encourages cultural exploration.
Oglethorpe’s 13:1 student-faculty ratio guarantees personal attention for each student on their academic journey. Popular majors include Biology, Business Administration, Communication and Rhetoric Studies, Accounting and Psychology, though Oglethorpe offers over 28 majors. Students may also design their own major (with faculty approval), focusing on interdisciplinary studies.
Oglethorpe’s residential campus houses over 700 students in nine residence halls and a six-house Greek Row. Four residence halls, built since 2005, feature private bedrooms with shared bathrooms and common areas along card-access hallways. Oglethorpe’s athletic teams provide plenty of opportunities for the campus community to show school spirit.
Oglethorpe students learn to make a life, make a living and make a difference. As Oglethorpe President Lawrence M. Schall states, students are being educated for their third or fourth career, in addition to their first. Oglethorpe alumni graduate with the ability to think, contribute and act as responsible and entrepreneurial citizens. Graduates go on to the most selective graduate programs in the country; over 80% (double the national average) of Oglethorpe students applying to medical school are admitted. |
