Additional Studies Conducted
In the educational landscape, Oberlin College stands out as a prestigious institution with a rich history. While the quality of education and the success rate of its students after graduation are often topics of discussion, this article will focus on two specific aspects: the voter registration and voting rates of Oberlin College students, and the history of PhD graduates from the college.
Data from the National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement (NSLVE) provides insight into the voting habits of Oberlin College students. Reports have been released for the years 2014, 2018, 2012, and 2016, but unfortunately, there is no data available for the years between 2010 and 2019.
In 2014, the percentage of Oberlin College students who were eligible to vote and voted was reported by NSLVE. The same goes for the voter registration and voting rates of Oberlin College students in 2016, as per NSLVE reports. However, it's important to note that these reports do not mention any specific achievements, awards, or recognitions related to the college or its students. Furthermore, they do not provide data for the Conservatory of Music or any other specific academic program.
As for the history of PhD graduates originating from Oberlin College during 2010–2019, the current data is not directly available in publicly accessible resources. The National Science Foundation’s Survey of Earned Doctorates, Oberlin College alumni records, and institutional research reports are typically the go-to sources for such detailed year-by-year statistics. These sources often publish statistics listing bachelor’s institutions and subsequent PhD completions.
For instance, while there is a mention of individuals who earned their bachelor’s degree from Oberlin College and subsequently obtained PhDs elsewhere, such as Dr. Royer (bachelor’s from Oberlin, PhD from Michigan State University), this does not provide systematic historical statistics or comprehensive data covering all Oberlin College graduates who earned PhDs from 2010 to 2019.
In addition to this, tabular summaries are provided for first-year applicants, admits, and enrolls for Arts and Sciences, as well as for the Conservatory of Music at Oberlin. Unfortunately, these summaries do not include specific numbers for the number of Doctorates earned or the number of first-year applicants, admits, and enrolls for Arts and Sciences and the Conservatory of Music at Oberlin.
For those seeking more precise and comprehensive information, contacting Oberlin’s Office of Institutional Research or reviewing NSF’s publicly available datasets on PhD recipients could be helpful. These resources often offer detailed and systematic historical statistics that are not readily available in the current search results.
Despite the rich history and high standards of education at Oberlin College, this article will delve into two lesser-discussed aspects: the voting habits of its students and the history of PhD graduates from the college. Data from the National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement (NSLVE) provides insights into the voting habits of Oberlin students, yet detailed, year-by-year statistics for PhD graduates from 2010 to 2019 are hard to come by due to limited accessibility of resources.
