Oberlin College and Conservatory

Oberlin College and Conservatory is a 4-year, private institution of higher education that prepares students for lives of intellectual, musical and artistic rigor and breadth, sustained inquiry, creativity and innovation, and leadership.

Oberlin combines a distinguished liberal arts college offering bachelor of arts degrees, a world-class conservatory providing preprofessional training in music leading to the bachelor of music degree, and an internationally acclaimed academic art museum. The rare presence on one campus of such powerful educational assets offers students a wealth of opportunities to immerse themselves in a life of the mind in a place infused with intellectual and creative energy.

An Oberlin education enables our graduates to stand out as innovative, interdisciplinary thinkers, engaged citizens of their communities and countries, and leaders in their chosen fields of endeavor. Our graduates pursue a wide range of careers, including education, health industries, law, business and management, fine and performing arts, writing, and government and public service—and many continue their efforts to further social justice objectives throughout their lives.

Oberlin’s 440-acre campus is located 35 miles southwest of Cleveland, Ohio.
