Why Recruit at Oberlin?

U.S. News and World Report consistently ranks Oberlin College among the top 25 liberal arts colleges in the nation.

Excellent Writers and Presenters

Through a curriculum that emphasizes writing and communications skills as well as strong involvement in co-curricular activities, Oberlin students have excellent interpersonal skills and effective writing capabilities.

Leaders

A strong tradition of campus involvement and civic engagement provides Oberlin students with opportunities to develop effective leadership skills. Oberlin students are engaged in over 100 clubs and organizations, 22 varsity teams, and 31 intramural and club sports. Over 100 students serve in the community each year

Critical Thinkers and Competent Researchers

Oberlin students have the opportunity to study in close mentoring relationships with faculty throughout their college careers. Many students co-author articles with faculty, which are published in scholarly journals and presented at national meetings.

Globally Oriented

A studying abroad rate of close to 40%, a student population from nearly 50 countries, and a curricular commitment to global studies makes the Oberlin experience an international one that has prepared students for a workplace that increasingly extends past our nation's boundaries.
