MAKE A LIFE. MAKE A LIVING. MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
THE CORE CURRICULUMEvery undergraduate student establishes an intellectual foundation for life through our unique Core curriculum—an integrated, se-quenced and shared academic experience that creates a special intel-lectual community where important questions are examined across disciplines and from varying perspectives. Through this distinctively modern approach to general education, Oglethorpe students are then able to establish meaningful expertise in their major area of study through a more thorough understanding of themselves and the world around them. It is a transformative experience that inspires our graduates to learn for a lifetime.
Why Atlanta?Classroom education at Oglethorpe is strengthened through excep-tional opportunities for hands-on practice. Atlanta is Oglethorpe’s laboratory for real-world learning. Every OU student has the op-portunity to build professional skills through internships in Atlanta, home to the third largest concentration of Fortune 500 corporations in the U.S. and over 1,250 multi-national corporations. All of our students make a difference, through extensive service learning and volunteer opportunities throughout the city. And they experience the world on our diverse multicultural campus and in our global city.
Oglethorpe
is Atlanta’s liberal arts college: co-educational, multicultural, friendly,
rigorous and diverse.
