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.
