Oberlin College offers many opportunities to its students. True to the liberal arts tradition, we require studies in each of three broad areas: arts and humanities, social and behavioral sciences, and natural sciences and mathematics.

You can select courses from 50 different majors and 42 minors and areas of concentration. Many of our programs and course offerings are interdisciplinary, offering occasions to engage in more diverse and in-depth study.
