Class of 2006

The 470 members of the class of 2006 defined as June graduates and 12-term seniors, provide an interesting profile of off-campus studies at Carleton:

  • 70% of the class of 2006 studied off-campus.
  • 330 individuals studied 409 times off-campus during their 4 years or twelve terms.
  • 330 students earned off-campus study credit outside the United States.
  • Students participated in 123 different off-campus programs in 47 different countries.

The attached tables, combined with the annual report “2004-2005 Participation in Off-Campus Studies, Academic Year,” offer a bifocal view of Carleton Off-Campus Studies. Several interesting highlights include:

  • 78% of the 330 participants participated in one program, while 20% participated in two, and 2% studied off-campus three times.
  • Participation by program length was 58% for one term in length (10 weeks), 30% for one semester (15 weeks), 10% for less than one term (usually summer or winter break programs), and less than 2% for academic year-long programs (9+ months).
  • 62% of the members of the Class of 2006 who studied off-campus went on Carleton off-campus seminars taught by Carleton faculty for Carleton students. 6% of those who studied off-campus participated in consortium programs (ACM, AKP, HECUA, etc.), and 32% of the class enrolled in programs sponsored by other U.S. and foreign educational institutions.
  • 53% of the class members studied off-campus as juniors. 24% studied off-campus as sophomores, and 23% studied off-campus as seniors.
  • 63% of the participants were women and 37% were men.
  • 100% of the following majors participated in off-campus studies:

Classical Studies
German
Spanish
Russian
Latin American Studies
Classical Languages
French & Francophone Studies
Women and Gender Studies

  • Over 70% of these majors studied off-campus:

This report covers students who earned Carleton credit on off-campus study programs.

Credit and non-credit internships, geology, biology and archeology field camps, and volunteer experiences elsewhere provided additional off-campus study opportunities for the members of the class of 2005.
