Affiliated Programs

Affiliated programs have standing approval by the OCS committee. This means that at least three Carleton students have attended the program over a period of five years with good reviews, a faculty member has endorsed the program, and it has been thoroughly reviewed by the Off-Campus Studies committee. Sometimes all programs offered by a program provider are affiliated, in other cases only one or two. You may view programs by provider or by world region.
