Taking time for an off-campus program may help expand your thinking beyond a purely academic approach to sociology and anthropology, and thereby give you a different understanding of what it really means to "study" another culture. There are many options for off-campus study in sociology and anthropology. If you are creative enough, you can put a social scientific slant into almost any program you choose.
