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 approve it. • On 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.
