We strongly encourage students to participate in an off-campus study program, if possible. The Carleton program in Mexico provides an excellent opportunity to study languages and literature in Mexico. For students who have taken at least one course beyond the basic language requirement, we strongly recommend the Madrid Program.

Students considering a study-abroad program should consult with their faculty advisor and with the appropriate off-campus study advisor(s) to determine which programs best suit their goals. Programs vary widely both in structure and academic focus. Some programs include significant language instruction. Many programs offer students specially designed courses of their own, but some programs allow students to direct enroll in foreign universities. Many programs emphasize particular substantive themes, such as gender issues, development, social justice, or ecology, to name just a few. Some programs involve home-stays; others do not. Some provide opportunities for independent field research, while other programs emphasize regular coursework or seminars. To get the most out of your off-campus study, you need to select the program carefully.

Following is a list of programs for which the Off-Campus Studies Office can provide information. Information on many programs is also available in the Program Director's office.
