Oberlin College

From the very beginning—as the first college to adopt a policy to admit Black students and the first to grant undergraduate degrees to women in a co-ed program—we have championed critical work that yields necessary progress: new discoveries, new music and art, new ideas, new ventures, new cultural practices and norms. It’s not just our motto, it’s our practice. Hands-on experience is a critical part of an Oberlin education.
