Occidental College

Occidental College isn’t just any liberal arts college. It fully integrates the liberal arts and sciences with the cultural and intellectual resources of the global city of Los Angeles, California.

Situated on a 120-acre residential campus in the heart of Los Angeles, our location serves as a springboard for putting theory into practice and ideas into action. At Oxy, you will spend as much time in the lab, the field, the community, and the studio as you do in the classroom.

Explore Your Passions

Oxy is a place for talented, hard-working, curious students to explore their current passions and discover new ones. They benefit from our small-classroom environment and demanding yet supportive faculty, who are as dedicated to teaching and mentorship as their research. Our distinctive interdisciplinary and global approach gives students the chance to explore new ideas and perspectives, and connect with the world.
