Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio is a private liberal arts institution with a distinctive focus on visual and performing arts alongside traditional academic programs. The college enrolls nearly 3,000 students and maintains selective admissions, with an acceptance rate of 33%.
Published tuition is $66,410 annually, with a total cost of attendance of $85,920 when room and board are included. However, the college's endowment of approximately $1.27 billion supports substantial financial aid; many students receive grants that reduce their actual out-of-pocket costs considerably below the published rate. Admitted students typically score at the 75th percentile on the SAT Reading section (760) and SAT Math section (750).
Oberlin's 6-year graduation rate reflects the rigor of its programs and the caliber of its student body. The college is best suited for students committed to liberal arts study with particular interest in music, theater, studio art, or dance, though it also serves those pursuing traditional academic majors.
