GoAbroad Innovative Use of Technology 2012 Winner

A pioneer in experiential, field-based study abroad, SIT offers semester, summer, and academic year programs for undergraduate students in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, as well as comparative programs in multiple locations.

"It's hard to imagine a better way to study abroad: you are welcomed into a family and a home, you are taught by local experts, learn the language, traverse the streets, eat delicious food, explore different cultural scenes, and at the end of the semester you are able to direct your own studies and conduct original research."

The SIT Study Abroad Experience:

  • Rigorous academic programs through a field-based, experiential approach

  • Cultural immersion through fieldwork, intensive language classes, and urban and rural homestays with local families
  • A small group of students in each program, supported by SIT faculty and staff, homestay families, in-country experts, and community members
  • Access to SIT’s extensive local resources and networks
  • A commitment to reciprocity as the foundation of our educational philosophy
