You want to go abroad? Well, so does everyone else on the Carleton campus — and many students go on two or more programs!

Carleton is unusual not only because so many of our students go abroad (approximately 70% at last count), but also because so many of our faculty go with them! We offer many faculty-led programs, which means that the coursework you do abroad is custom-designed to fit snugly with the work you do on campus. Moreover, you can take courses in multiple disciplines in the language of your choice: why not satisfy coursework in Art History or Political Science in another language?

Our goal is to integrate off-campus study with on-campus study, helping you learn language and culture in a context of personal experience.

Oh, and if you find that our own programs don’t fit your needs, why don’t you try one of the 100+ non-Carleton programs our students participated in over the past year…
