• Off-campus study, normally in your junior year, greatly enhances what you learn as a sociology/anthropology major. However, it may be preferable for some students to take the off- campus study in the sophomore or senior year. • Your major advisor can help you select a program that fits your needs and interests. One sociology or anthropology course taken abroad may count toward the major, usually as an elective, but the department chair must be approved it. • On Term in Asia and Mediterranean Semester, if led by a soc/anthro faculty member, more than one course may count. • If you do study off campus, you will need to take one core course during your senior year (usually 371 or 373). • Visit wp.stolaf.edu/international/ “Search Programs” and consult with your advisor.
