SIT Graduate Institute
Preparing graduates and professionals to address global issues with master's degree and certificate programs.
Formerly known as the School for International Training, the SIT Graduate Institute offers graduate students a widened view of the world and opportunities for in-depth study of the most critical global issues of our times.
Founded over 40 years ago as a training center for early Peace Corps volunteers, the SIT Graduate Institute prepares students from more than 30 countries to become informed and effective leaders, professionals, and global citizens. Graduates of SIT’s degree programs go on to start nonprofit organizations, teach languages, become government and civic leaders, and achieve success in the private sector.
Through a combination of classroom and field-based learning in fields ranging from international education to international development to language teaching, SIT Graduate Institute enables students to transfer academic learning into real-world practice in the service of social change.
The SIT Farm is a student-run initiative and a wonderful example of sustainability right on the SIT campus. Weekly Farmer's markets are held, and classes and workshops will be available in the fall. Read more...
