Majors and Minors
Oberlin's College of Arts and Sciences offers 50 academic majors and 42 minors and areas of concentration. The undergraduate liberal arts degree requires study in each of three broad areas: arts and humanities, social and behavioral sciences, and natural sciences and mathematics. There are also opportunities to build your own interdisciplinary course of study.
The Graduate Teacher Education Program (GTEP) offers a 12-month graduate course of study leading to the Master of Education degree. GTEP combines one year of graduate study and school-based internship and leads to an eligibility for initial teaching licensure in Early Childhood (grades Pre-K-3) or Middle Childhood (grades 4-9).
