Brief History of the Partnership
between Regent's Park College and Georgetown College
|
Under the
leadership of William H. Crouch, President of
Georgetown College, and Paul S. Fiddes,
Principal of Regent's Park College,
a partnership was formed between the two schools in 1998 for the mutual
edification of the educational enterprise of both schools.
Since then,
over 70 Georgetown College students have participated in the Oxford Tutorial
Program, and recently students from Regent's Park have begun to participate
in classes and tutorials at Georgetown in preparation for finals at Oxford
University. Georgetown has also placed students into the Master of
Theology program at Regent's Park College, and recently one of our first
three year accelerated degree graduates received a second
BA at Oxford in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE). Several
Georgetown College faculty members have spent time doing research, giving
lectures, and otherwise participating in college life at Oxford as a result
of the partnership--in this year alone, four faculty members will be doing
projects in the Georgetown flat in college at Oxford. The
Oxford Programs have become an academic centerpiece at Georgetown College,
and we hope that more and more students and faculty members will come to
reap the benefits of participation. Please consult
the Oxford
Programs Overview for a list of opportunities available to
Georgetown College students. |
