进入工作领域

At Oberlin, science is more than just observation and measurement. It's learning to understand the processes that unfold around us every day. Our students have assisted with scientific fieldwork across the globe in Indonesia, 南非, 日本, 和中美洲. 离校园更近, our students learn from field trips to nearby ecological sites including the Vermillion River Watershed and Lake Erie.

科学写作与传播

Oberlin students have many opportunities to hone the skill of effective science communication and join the professional community of working scientists. Students regularly co-author papers with faculty mentors and receive generous financial support for conference participation. These experiences help our students land promising first jobs or gain admission to the best medical schools and PhD programs in the sciences.
