SOAN Beyond Carleton

The skills acquired in the SOAN major prepare students for a wide variety of opportunities outside Carleton. Many of our students take advantage of internships, fellowships, and off-campus studies programs while at Carleton. After graduating, some alumni join the workforce immediately, while others build on their SOAN skills with training in areas such as medicine, law, and social work.
