The Oberlin Collegiate Institute (renamed Oberlin College in 1850) granted its first degrees in 1836 in the Theological Department. In 1837, the college presented its first four AB degrees. Before 1895, the Oberlin Conservatory of Music did not issue degrees; however, it later joined the college’s AB degree ceremonies to present diplomas and certificates to its graduates, and by 1905, began issuing the Mus.B. degree.
