Keble College / Oxford University

Each fall, winter, and spring a maximum of four students can attend Keble College of Oxford University through this exchange program. The program will primarily serve government and economics majors. Government and/or economics students who are PBPL majors will also receive special consideration. All government and economics tutorials will be approved in advance by the departments and some will count towards the major.

The application process for this program is competitive, every year 4 students are selected to participate for the fall, winter, and spring terms (a total of 12 students). Students first apply through the Guarini Institute by the February 1st application deadline. After February 1st, faculty from the Department of Government and Department of Economics will review applications and make acceptance decisions. Students will be notified of their acceptance decisions on March 1st.

Successful applicants who are accepted and commit to the program will receive a nomination from the Guarini Institute. Applying for an exchange program involves two steps: if you receive a nomination from the Guarini Institute you will also need to complete the host institution's application and/or enrollment process, which is administered and reviewed by the host institution. The host institution makes the final acceptance decision. The Guarini Institute and the Rockefeller Center will provide further instructions on this second step to students after they are accepted and commit to a program.

For more information about applying for this program, see our webpage on How to Apply & our FAQs under section 2 (How to Apply: Application), or contact the Guarini Institute.
