Off-Campus Study
We strongly encourage students to participate in an
off-campus study program in Latin America, if possible. The Carleton
program in Morelia, Mexico, provides an excellent opportunity to
study language and literature in Mexico. New to the Carleton programs
is Madrid, Spain,(Fall 2002) and Winter Break Field Study in Guatemala
(SoAn/LtAm 251, Cultural Empowerment, Community Development and
Social Change in Guatemala). Carleton is a member of two consortiums
that offer programs in Latin America: the Associated Colleges of
the Midwest (ACM), which sponsors two programs in Costa Rica; and
the Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA), which
sponsors programs in Guatemala and Ecuador. Students may also participate
in a number of other Latin American study programs that have been
approved by the College.
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.
