Winter term is an opportunity for students to pursue academic interests outside of Oberlin’s regular course offerings.
During the month of January, students complete individual or group projects of their choice, either on or off campus. Projects may be proposed by faculty, students, and occasionally by members of the administrative and professional staff and alumni. Ideally, students may spend full time on one intensive project or, alternatively, on two half-time projects. The Office of Winter Term coordinates these projects.
