College of Arts and Sciences

The College of Arts and Sciences offers a four-year undergraduate program leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree and provides a rich and balanced curriculum in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. The College also offers a 12-month graduate course of study leading to the Master of Education degree.

• Since 1920, more Oberlin graduates have gone on to earn PhDs than have graduates of any other American baccalaureate college.
• Degree programs in 47 majors, plus 42 minors and concentrations.
• Oberlin’s Science Center features a 64-bit supercomputer – the first installed at any four-year, liberal arts college in the nation.
• Students helped to design the largest photovoltaic array in Ohio and the first entirely solar-powered academic building at any U.S. college or university.

Conservatory of Music

The Conservatory of Music offers four-year undergraduate programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree; five-year integrated programs leading to the Master of Music; and two-year certificate programs in music, including a Performance Diploma (undergraduate) and an Artist Diploma (graduate).

• The oldest continuously operating Conservatory of Music in the United States.
• A collection of more than 1,500 musical instruments of the highest quality.
• Exceptional facilities that include five concert halls and 150 practice rooms.
• Oberlin owns 200 Steinway pianos, and the Conservatory's concert and recital halls, classrooms, studios, and most practice rooms are equipped with Steinway grands.

Double-Degree Program

Oberlin College offers a unique opportunity to students who want to combine rigorous pre-professional music training with a broad liberal arts education. In as few as five years, double-degree students may complete work for the Bachelor of Music degree from the Conservatory of Music and the Bachelor of Arts degree from the College of Arts and Sciences. Double-degree students commit exceptional talent and intellectual passion. They often demonstrate a capacity for intensive focus in an academic discipline, which brings context and imagination to their music.

The College of Arts and Science and the Conservatory of Music have separate application processes; students must be accepted to both the College of Arts and Sciences and the Conservatory of Music to pursue the double-degree program.
