We examine the wavelength dependence of radial light profiles based onS\'ersic index $n$ measurements of 1067 galaxies with M$_*\geq$10$^{9.5}$M$_\odot$ and in the redshift range $0.5 < z < 3$. The sample andrest-frame optical light profiles are drawn from CANDELS$+$3D-HST; rest-framenear-infrared light profiles are inferred from CEERS JWST/NIRCam imaging. $n$shows only weak dependence on wavelength, regardless of redshift, galaxy massand type: on average, star-forming galaxies have $n = 1-1.5$ and quiescentgalaxies have $n = 3-4$ in the rest-frame optical and near-infrared. The strongcorrelation at all wavelengths between $n$ and star-formation activity impliesa physical connection between the radial stellar mass profile andstar-formation activity. The main caveat is that the current sample is toosmall to discern trends for the most massive galaxies (M$_* > 10^{11}M_\odot$).
