As a 2021 Spring through Summer scholar at Pioneer, I think Pioneer would be a better option if you’re looking to do research with lots of individual freedom. At Pioneer, you have the resources (professor, writing center, other Pioneer staff) to succeed in writing your own research paper, but ultimately you get to decide what your topic will be. The program is also entirely online so scheduling is flexible. It’s known to be academically rigorous and selective, and you can even earn college credit through Oberlin. Additionally, there are many interdisciplinary cohorts such as Digital Mapping, which combines computer science, history, and the social sciences. Personally, Pioneer has been one of the most engaging and transformative experiences and I definitely think it’s worth your consideration.
