Organisation   

Scholarship and Christianity in Oxford (SCIO), a registered UK charity (formally, CCCU-UK), is the UK subsidiary of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU), which is an international higher education association of Christian liberal arts colleges and universities with headquarters in Washington, DC.   

SCIO is an important centre for international grant funded research, particularly in science and religion, and biblical texts and their curation. In partnership with Wycliffe Hall, SCIO organises programmes for students registered for degrees in overseas, mainly American, institutions. It runs the SCIO semester programmes, SCIO summer programme, and SCIO Online from Oxford. More information on SCIO can be found at: www.scio-uk.org

Mission 

To foster scholarly engagement, intellectual excellence, authentic Christian spirituality and the connections between them within an international academic community at Oxford. 

SCIO strives to do this by: 

  • Helping students drawn largely from CCCU colleges realise their academic and personal potential at Oxford, at graduate or professional school, and throughout life
  • Encouraging high quality research on the part of its staff and faculty from CCCU colleges as individuals and as members of research programmes based at SCIO
  • Cultivating a community of alumni who support each other and SCIO’s mission
  • Enabling its staff to develop professionally and flourish personally
