Carleton College Participation in Off-Campus Study Academic Year 2009-10 CARLETON COLLEGE PARTICIPATION IN OFF-CAMPUS STUDY ACADEMIC YEAR 2009-10 Between June 2009 and early June 2010: Carleton officially enrolled 1986 students. 450 students, or 23% of the student body, participated in off-campus studies 476 times for academic credit during the academic year, the December winter break, and in the summer. 417 students, or 21% of the student body earned off-campus study credit outside the United States. Participation in domestic and international programs during the academic year 2009-10: Students studied off-campus on 125 different programs in 50 countries. 48% of the students participated in programs in Europe, 12% in Latin America, 11% in Asia, 10% in Australia & Oceania, 8% in North America, 7% in Africa, 4% in the Middle East, and less than 1% in multiple locations. Compared with participation rates in 2008-09, Europe participation rose by 6%, Australia/Oceania rose by 3%, Middle East rose by 3%, and Latin America rose by 1%. The participation rate declined for Asia by 8% and multiple-location programs by almost 5%. 94% of students studying off-campus participated in one program and 6% participated in two programs during the year. By class year, 16% of the participants were seniors, 56% juniors, and 28% were sophomores. 59% of the participants studied in Carleton progams, 5% in consortia programs, and 36% in programs sponsored by other U.S. institutions or foreign universities. Participation in programs of varying lengths ranged from 14% on programs less than one term, including Carleton winter break programs, 52% in one-term programs (10 weeks), less than one percent in two-term programs, 32% on semester-long programs, and 2% in academic year-long programs of 9 months. Women’s and men’s participation rates were 59% and 41%, respectively. As in previous years, Carleton faculty took an active role in off-campus studies as directors for off-campus programs and winter break field trips. Seventeen faculty members directed Carleton off-campus study programs in 2009-10: Susan Jaret McKinstry, Radek Szulga, Humberto Huergo, Kai Herklotz, Matt Rand, Stacy Beckwith, Louis Newman, David Hougen-Eitzman, Annie Bosacker, Clint Cowan, Chérif, Keita, Jay Levi, Steven Schier, Diane Nemec Ignashev, Scott Carpenter, George Shuffelton, and José Cerna-Bazan. In addition, David Tompkins taught a course in the Berlin seminar, and Kathryn Sparling was a faculty member in the Associated Kyoto Program. This report covers students who earned Carleton credit on off-campus academic programs. It does not report students who earned Carleton independent study credits for academic work completed off campus. A number of students were also involved in volunteer projects, work abroad, domestic and international field camps in geology, biology and archeology, and travel. The attached statistical tables, combined with the annual “Class of 2010 Participation in Off-Campus Studies” report, provide an in-depth view of off-campus studies at Carleton College.
