The Power of Passion in Education

The Experimental College believes education should match the creative energy and unique personality of every learner. The OberlinExCo curriculum emerges from students' and faculty's combined expertise and interests with community members who participate. ExCo delivers educational opportunities across creative arts, social activism, practical skills, and niche hobbies to show that learning does not need to follow strict educational boundaries. Our learning experience expands every time we contribute a fresh idea to the mix.

OberlinExCo.org creates special educational experiences by involving people at the local level. Students create courses based on their passions when professors share their interests with the local community. Through these courses, you can build friendships and join forces with others who want to learn together.

Students offer diverse educational experiences, including yoga sessions, social discussions, and coffee-making expertise. These examples are a testament to what Oberlin ExCo represents: a celebration where people can explore new ideas and discover the fun of education.
