It is generally a sound idea to consult one or more members of the faculty and request advice on areas of study appropriate for your intended career. Many of the faculty are personally knowledgeable about the institutions and fields of study that may be of interest to you. In addition, many faculty members are acquainted with the experiences of recent Oberlin graduates who may have been, or are, at the institutions you are considering. Other sources of information are available as well. The current edition of Peterson s Annual Guide to Graduate Study is available at the Office of Career Development and Placement on campus, as well as from the Department Office.
