Carleton offers a term-long off-campus program in Tanzania and Ethiopia that features courses on wildlife conservation, agriculture, and cultural studies.

The Africana Studies department has offered study abroad opportunities during the past two winter breaks: one in Dubai focusing on Afro-Arab women’s history, and the other in Ghana focusing on history, memory, and the Atlantic world in Ghana and the United States. Additionally, in Spring 2022, Professor Thabiti Willis offered an Off Campus Studies course featuring African Diaspora in Arabia and the History, Culture and Commerce Program: Heritage in Africa and Arabia.

In addition to Carleton’s off-campus study programs, students can receive full academic credit for dozens of consortia programs all over the world. Carleton is committed to making off-campus study easy and rewarding.
