FAQs About Sociology, Gender & Anthropology Study Abroad
Studying humanities and social sciences abroad is a great idea for students looking for real-life immersion within environments and cultures they’re interested in. Perhaps you’ve learned theories on how a specific population lives or maybe you’ve studied ancient Roman art. When you study abroad, you can take this knowledge and put it to the test by immersing yourself in the environment in which it originates.
- Wherever you decide to study abroad, you’ll be able to:
- Explore your specific interests in an authentic environment
- Connect with the local community and learn from locals
- Learn both inside and outside the classroom 24/7
- Put your knowledge of social issues, philosophy, linguistics, anthropology, and more to the test
While identifying the best humanities study abroad programs is quite subjective, we can provide you with a list of our most popular programs:
- Arts, Architecture + Design (Florence, Italy)
- Summer Ghanaian Studies (Legon, Ghana)
- Language + Culture (Alicante, Spain)
- China in a Global Context (Shanghai, China)
- Open Campus Block (Berlin, Germany)
- Summer Community Public Health (Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic)
- Arts + Sciences (Queen Mary) (London, England)
- Film Studies (Prague, Czech Republic)
- Ancient + Modern Japan (Kyoto, Japan)
In general, CIEE’s programs under the titles ‘Arts + Sciences,’ ‘Language + Culture,’ ‘Open Campus Block,’ and ‘Global Internship’ provide excellent opportunities to complete specific courses related to the humanities and social sciences field.
Given the number of humanities study abroad program options, it can be difficult to choose the right program for you. Luckily, we have a few recommendations to help make this process easier:
- Think about the top places you’d like to travel abroad. Would you rather visit some place in Europe, or is Asia or Latin America more interesting to you? How about the Middle East or Africa?
- Consider what subjects or languages you’d like to study the most. Is there a language you’d like to learn? Does the program offer courses that are appealing to you?
- Set a budget. Beyond program costs, can you afford living in your desired location? Have you considered more budget-friendly countries?
- Write down the top goals you’d like to get out of your program. Have you set some personal, professional, and academic goals? Do you want to complete an internship while studying?
- Narrow down your options, then start your app! Let’s do this thing!
