WISC - The Largest Oxford Programme

Together with cooperating programmes of US colleges, WISC is by far the largest overseas study programme in Oxford, with over 200 students last year. Since 1985 we have brought to Oxford students from 43 states who had previously studied in over 300 colleges and universities. These students have come from such leading colleges as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, Penn, Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, Tufts, Duke, Stanford, the University of Chicago, the University of California and the University of Virginia.

Another example of the diversity of WISC students: Butler University operates one of the biggest study abroad programmes and has a large National Advisory Council of 89 colleges from across the US. Students who have come through WISC previously studied at 56 colleges (63%) of that group of leading colleges.

WISC is also, as far as we know, the only educational institution in the world which offers a money-back guarantee if even one of our 21 specific promises is not kept (please see "money-back guarantee").

"I was taught by two Professors [holders of Chairs usually only one don in the University in each subject], both of whom were Fellows of the British Academy. My academic program could not have been better." AS, Brown University

In addition, the WISC programme is unique in several other important ways. The academic programme for Visiting Students may be assumed to be essentially of the same quality at every Oxford College. WISC, however, supplies many added benefits, which, as far as we know, are not offered by any other overseas programme in Oxford (there are several such programmes conducted by US colleges).
