Study Abroad

Why Should I Study Abroad?
		"If you bring a sociological inquiry into international experiences it is impossible not to walk away with new knowledge and questions to explore." --Jessica Gingold '08
How Do I Receive Sociology Credit?
	The department will generally grant one elective credit toward the sociology major from off-campus study. If you know you will be seeking sociology credit, check in with your advisor before departure, although credit will not be approved until you return to CC. The department generally awards credit to courses which are explicitly sociological in nature and to related social science courses (e.g., "Culture and Development"). Expect to show a course syllabus and a sampling of coursework and to produce a written statement to be assessed by your academic advisor and the head of the department.
Where Should I Go?

	Go anywhere! Peruse the International and Off-Campus Programs Website to see what options are available. It's a good idea to choose an approved program over an un-approved program if there is one that interests you. Check out this list of programs which may be of particular interest to sociology majors.
