Pioneer Research Paper: Comparative Inquiry Into Western Liberal Democratic Values
“Doing the research would train me to have an objective perspective on what’s going on, and not base my opinion just on sound bytes that I hear from other sources. Pioneer doesn’t just give me questions to answer. Instead, Pioneer teaches me how to make my own questions.”
Pioneer and Oberlin College collaborate in the following areas to ensure the rigor of the academic operations.
Academic quality control
Pioneer collaborates with an Oberlin committee to conduct academic quality control. Pioneer insists on rigorous policies and procedures that include:
A few examples of past Pioneer research topics include:
Pioneer focuses on student interest, not on college brand names
One of Pioneer’s strict policies is that our faculty list shall not be disclosed to applicants to ensure genuine interest-focused motivation.
Pioneer’s admissions and academics departments study submitted applications carefully to ensure applicants’ concentration placement is in line with their expressed interests.
After students receive a conditional offer of admissions, successful applicants will receive information about their concentration and mentoring faculty to facilitate a final decision before Pioneer admissions concludes the full admission process.
Pioneer has insisted on our No Conflict of Interests principle since day one.
Academics Only: No involvement in consulting or test prep is allowed
Admission & Academic Independence: Admissions and academic departments are completely independent. Our outreach and admissions teams are completely separated.
Independent Grading: The Pioneer academics department executes oversight only. Pioneer does not allow any form of advocacy for student grades.
Because of its unique academic system, exemplary standards, and proven integrity, Pioneer’s credibility is respected by selective universities and colleges.
