Your history major can be enhanced by a study-abroad experience. While overseas, you’ll immerse yourself in the history of your chosen country while earning credit toward your degree. The best time to seek work in an internship abroad and to prepare for an international career is while you are a student or soon after graduation. You may be considering an overseas work experience for many reasons: an adventure, a chance to gain in-depth knowledge of another culture and of yourself, an inexpensive way to improve foreign language proficiency, or as preparation for an international career. Some of the programs co-sponsored by Carleton often used by History majors include ACM, CGE Augsburg, DIS, CMRS Oxford, HECUA, and SIT.

FAQ: Once my off-campus studies program petition has been approved, how do I find out if my off-campus program qualifies for Carleton Humanities distro and/or History major credit?  Please see:  The History Department Off-Campus Study & Transfer Credit link; please contact Professor Susannah Ottaway, sottaway@carleton.edu (Chair), your History department faculty adviser, or the History Department office nlambert@carleton.edu, for more information.
