A few academic offerings are open to current Macalester students during the January break.
Independent Projects and Internships
You may register for a one or two credit independent project or internship.

January 2013 Study Trips
PSYC 198-01
Animal Observation in Australia
Eric Wiertelak
This course exposes students to topics in psychology not covered in our standard curriculum through travel to a new geographic region. The course focuses on aspects of psychology unique to that region and also typically includes a study of the geography and culture of the region. It is designated as a January course. Participants meet prior to departure in order to learn necessary background information. The field excursion generally spans two to three weeks. The region and area of psychology to be studied varies from year to year, and a student may take the course more than once for credit. This course is offered on a pass/fail basis only. Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor. (2 credits)
