Occidental College U.S.


What Is Oxy?

A place of intimate scale and infinite scope.

For 125 years, our tight-knit community of students and scholars has come together in the heart of Los Angeles, one of the most stimulating and creative cities in the world.

A leader in the liberal arts and sciences.

The birthplace of Upward Bound and home of one of the first West Coast chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, Oxy boasts a firmly rooted tradition of academic achievement and dedicated community service. Our students go on to become leaders in their fields—pursuing graduate degrees and careers in politics, diving headfirst into the Hollywood hustle and breaking new ground in medical research.

A community in conversation.

When we speak, our leadership listens. Professors don’t pontificate; they discuss, debate, and engage. With only 2,100 undergraduates, everyone is face to face with faculty, staff, and other students. We seize the opportunity to create and sustain conversations around the issues that matter most to us.

A home.

We respect and encourage one another’s ideas, interests, and creative impulses. We root for our own and celebrate our successes—big and small—as a community. This campus and this culture inspire love and loyalty, and make us proud to call Oxy home.
