Oberlin College, an independent coeducational institution, holds a distinguished place among American colleges and
universities. Oberlin was the first college to grant undergraduate degrees to women and historically was a leader in the
educating of African Americans; its heritage is one of respect for the individual and active concern for the larger society.
The College uniquely combines an outstanding professional school of music with a leading undergraduate college of arts and
sciences. The two divisions reinforce each other. The Conservatory provides flexible programs to prepare students as
professional musicians and teachers of music. Deeply committed to academic excellence, the College of Arts and Sciences
offers a rich and balanced curriculum in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Within that framework the
College expects that students will work closely with the faculty to design an educational program appropriate to their own
particular interests, needs, and long-term goals. |

- Oberlin is dedicated to recruiting a culturally, economically, geographically, and racially diverse
group of students. Interaction with others of widely different backgrounds and experiences fosters the effective, concerned
participation in the larger society so characteristic of Oberlin graduates. Oberlin seeks students who are talented, highly
motivated, personally mature, and tolerant of divergent views. The Conservatory of Music in particular seeks talented
musicians with considerable potential for further growth and development. Performance is central to all of the curricula
including music education, history, theory, composition, and technology.
- The College of Arts and Sciences offers a four-year undergraduate program leading to the Bachelor of
Arts degree. The Conservatory of Music offers four-year undergraduate programs of professional and academic studies leading
to the Bachelor of Music degree, as well as two-year programs leading to a Performance Diploma (undergraduate) and an Artist
Diploma (graduate).
- Oberlin College is proud to have a learning environment and intellectual atmosphere that has earned us
a reputation as one of America's best small colleges. Oberlin is one of only eleven small liberal arts colleges to receive
exceptional ratings for academic quality from U.S. News and World Report and the Fiske Guide to Colleges.
