Undergraduate Research
Featured Student Research Projects
At Oberlin, all research is undergraduate research.
Our students take a central role in research, often co-publishing their findings with a professor. And our faculty mentors consider working one-on-one with students to be one of the most rewarding parts of the job.
Read on to learn about the kinds of projects you could propose — and lead — as an Oberlin student in any field of study.
