With Oxford Royale on campus at Yale, you will study in an authentic Ivy League academic setting, while also touring historic faculties, stepping inside world-famous libraries and museums, and meeting academics who offer insight into what intellectual life at Yale is really like.

In New York, you will immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Columbia University — walking the quads where figures such as Barack Obama once prepared for public life and hearing directly from those who teach or study there today.
