Carleton Global Engagement Programs is a program provider offering 3 abroad programs. Programs offered include Study Abroad and Research abroad programs in 7 countries such as Russia, India, Czech Republic, and Germany.
In February 2016, Carleton College took over operation of study abroad programs in Cameroon, Europe and India formerly offered by Antioch Education Abroad. Carleton was fortunate to retain the excellent leadership of the programs' faculty directors, all of whom are now members of the faculty at Carleton.
Global Engagement Programs are semester-length, offered annually, and open to students from undergraduate institutions across the United States and Canada. Students from 47 home institutions have participated in Global Engagement Programs in the past two years.
Carleton College, one of the nation’s top liberal arts colleges, has a long and deep commitment to off-campus study programs beginning with its first faculty led program in 1969. Through its Off-Campus Studies office, Carleton currently operates 16-18 faculty-led programs each year for its own students, along with three Carleton Global Engagement programs open to students from other colleges and universities.

Study Abroad with Carleton Global Engagement Programs
"I learned to meditate, let go of stress and anxiety, manage travel itinerary, and have expanded my sense and understanding of both my own privilege as an american and global sociopolitical issues. I also understand my own american culture better in contrast with my first hand experience of Indian culture."
Brain A Berea College
"This program was incredible. In addition to gaining extensive knowledge about Buddhism, I gained so much insight into myself, my beliefs, and the way that I think about the world. "
Jonah H Middlebury College
"Words can't do it justice. As a student of religion and political science interested in Buddhist practice, this program was an excellent fit. Living in a monastery and keeping up with the program's schedule requires considerable discipline but it is entirely worth it. As a result of living and studying within the heart of a Bu..."
A student Wellesley College
"I felt more than I have ever felt before. "
Tamara W Tufts University
"Wow, that is difficult. As Suzuku Roshi says, "To study Buddhism is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self." I guess I have gotten to know my self a bit more intimately and thereby have learned to stop clinging to the idea of a self. I learned how to rationally prove that nothing neither exists nor doesn't ex..."
A student Middlebury College
"I gained an awesome insight into Buddhism, had a great research opportunity, met awesome people, did awesome things, and ate awesome food."
Jonathan W University of Iowa
"Definitely. Study abroad changed my life and made me think in new ways. Had a ton of great experiences I never would have had if I stayed in the US"
Colleen F Williams College
"I was at a point where I just thought that nobody would ever do work in a way that structurally matched their ideological mission. I learned practices to make work and research more based in feminist, anti-oppression and non-violent models. I was also exposed to one of the best gender studies departments in the world, at Utrech..."
Whitney S Antioch College
"This was undeniably a great jumping off point for both my meditation practice as well as fueling my interest in India."
Alexa R Amherst College
"Know that anything I say here is but a speck of what my life is experiencing, because I cannot even see the extent of impact/influence this program has had on me. I feel like I'm generally a happier person or perhaps I'm more aware of it or its easier somehow. I watch myself, my thoughts, my behavior as an understanding outsider..."
Maria M The College of Wooster
"I changed from a Biology major to a Religious Studies major after attending this program. It greatly expanded my knowledge and awareness on how other parts of the world live in profound ways. I had never been to a third world country before and seeing all the poverty, and illness was really eye-opening. But also seeing all the ..."
Hanna N Willamette University
"I've learned the language of Buddhism by being fully immersed in the culture, wisdom, and love of the tradition. Because of this program, I've changed my major to Religious Studies and plan on integrating spiritual wisdom into my future practice as a doctor. I found a home in Bodh Gaya and I'm sure I will return countless times ..."
Lisa W Northwestern University
"One of the absolute best experiences of my life, socially, personally and academically."
Gabe J University of California - Santa Cruz
"Definitely more culturally aware, more prone to travel in the future, met two new feminist friends that are now two of my closest and I will definitely keep in touch with."
Kristen F Wellesley College
