"The Nebraska at Oxford program is the premier study abroad program offered at the university because of our relationship with the faculty and staff at Oxford," said Kathy Farrell, interim dean of the College of Business. "Our students gain a competitive edge in the job market by having the opportunity to study at this prestigious university. We also know from the program's alumni that it provides an experience they will never forget."

Cultural excursions supplement course lectures and tutorials, including having high tea, attending horse races at Sandown Park and a West End show in London, and experiencing a Royal Shakespeare Company performance in Stratford-upon-Avon.
