Studying off-campus may expand your thinking beyond a purely academic approach to SOAN, giving you a different understanding of what it really means to study another culture. There are many options for Off-Campus Studies (OCS) with sociology and anthropology in their curriculum. If you are creative enough, you can put a social science slant to almost any program.
You may apply up to 12 credits of OCS work to the SOAN major. We typically give credit for courses that are comparable to existing courses and courses that we could offer as a department. Credit is given after you’ve returned from your program. When seeking credit, please schedule a meeting with the department chair. Bring your syllabi and assignments to help determine if you can receive credit for the courses.
