SIT Study Abroad
Academically engaging undergraduate study abroad programs in nearly 50 countries worldwide
SIT Study Abroad programs immerse students in real-world contexts where they can examine critical, global issues from diverse perspectives and multiple sources of knowledge. Through an experiential approach developed over 75 years, students explore academic themes at the intersection of broad theoretical frameworks and personal experience, gaining a deep and comprehensive understanding of some of the world's most pressing challenges.
Each program is comprised of a relatively small group of students who benefit from individualized attention and vibrant intellectual exchange with SIT faculty and staff, local experts, host community members, and fellow students. These programs are unique in their intensive cultural immersion, substantial community involvement, enlightening educational excursions, and emphasis on individual field-based research. Programs are coordinated by an academic director, local instructors, and staff members, who support students and challenge them to reach new levels of intellectual curiosity and achievement.
"I can say with absolute certainty that I have been permanently altered by what I have seen, the people I have met, and the reflections which have resulted from my time here."
