Completed Application (PDF
Word Doc)
On your
IU at
Oxford application, you must submit academic data based on
your current OneStart reports.
Failure to do so will invalidate
your application. The only exceptions to this policy would be very
recent
changes in your major, minor,
grades or credit hours that have not yet been updated in OneStart.
Personal Essays
Please compose
well-written essays to the following questions:
-
How do you think the IU at Oxford program will benefit
your educational growth?
-
How will the IU at Oxford program benefit from your
participation?
Your essay responses
should show evidence of your interest in the host country; demonstrate
skill in coping
with different living
arrangements, academic environments, and social customs; and explain how
you will
uniquely contribute to and
benefit from the program. Each essay should be well-written and limited
to one-to-
two pages.
Please give serious
thought to these questions. Keep in mind that because of the overlap
between these
essay questions and the Hutton
International Experience Program grant application, your efforts will
not only
help you gain admittance into the
IU at Oxford program, they can also help you earn a grant equivalent to
up
to 25 percent of your travel
expenses (if you choose to apply for an IEP grant).
Faculty References
You must provide the names of two
faculty references. Please confirm these faculty references will agree
to
speak to us on your behalf before
listing them on your application. They will likely be called during the
review
process.
