Oberlin College is a private liberal arts college and conservatory of music in Oberlin, Ohio, United States. Founded in 1833, it is the oldest coeducational liberal arts college in the United States and the second-oldest continuously operating coeducational institute of higher learning in the world.[6] The Oberlin Conservatory of Music is the oldest continuously operating conservatory in the United States.[7] In 1835, Oberlin became one of the first colleges in the United States to admit African Americans, and in 1837, the first to admit women[8] (other than Franklin College's brief experiment in the 1780s[9]). It has been known since its founding for progressive student activism.[10]

The College of Arts & Sciences offers more than 60 majors, minors, and concentrations. Oberlin is a member of the Great Lakes Colleges Association and the Five Colleges of Ohio consortium. Since its founding, Oberlin alumni and faculty include 16 Rhodes Scholars, 20 Truman Scholars, 12 MacArthur fellows, 4 Rome Prize winners, and 4 Nobel Prize laureates.[11] In 2021, Oberlin was the 4th highest Baccalaureate producer of Fulbright scholars.[12]
