Oberlin College

Location: Oberlin, Ohio

Oberlin College supports students in making connections between excellence, passion, and impact. Offering one of the world’s most relevant undergraduate educations, Oberlin’s 2900 students come from all over the globe to study in our top-ranked liberal arts college and our world-renowned conservatory of music, sharing a seamless student culture and campus. With 80% of classes having fewer than 20 students, learning at Oberlin is a collaborative enterprise between students and professors. The academic culture is one where students are known, valued, and mentored by accomplished and accessible faculty. The majority of Oberlin graduates continue on to prestigious fellowships and PhD programs; in fact, more Oberlin graduates have gone on to earn PhDs than have the graduates of any other American college. Located in northeast Ohio, Oberlin is the best of both worlds: the coziness of a small college town with the pulse of a creative, vibrant community of students and the cultural, recreational, and professional opportunities of Cleveland just 35 minutes away. Committed to access, diversity, and inclusion, Oberlin meets 100% of the demonstrated financial need of every student. Merit scholarships are also available.
