Leverage Campus Resources for Professional Development
As a rising senior, you may decide to pursue research opportunities off-campus. If you do, consider connecting with Oberlin’s Career Exploration and Development (CED). The CED helps students develop career strategies, explore internships, and expand their professional network. CED's Internship+ program offers third-year students up to $5,000 for summer research and other opportunities.
Pursue Research Off-Campus
Expand your research horizons with off-campus programs like Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs), where you can work alongside peers at leading institutions nationwide. These experiences help build your professional connections and expose you to diverse research environments, further preparing you for advanced study and professional research.
