SIT Study Abroad
A pioneer in experiential, field-based study abroad, SIT Study Abroad provides academically engaging semester and summer programs in Asia and the Pacific, Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East for undergraduate students.
Focus on Critical Global Issues
SIT Study Abroad programs examine critical global issues in a specific cultural and geographical context. Studying with host country faculty and living with families, students gain a deep appreciation for local cultures, develop language skills, and become immersed in diverse topics ranging from the politics of identity to post-conflict transformation, from global health to environmental policy.
The SIT Study Abroad Experience:
- Rigorous academic programs through a field-based, experiential approach
- Undergraduate research through SIT Study Abroad’s hallmark Independent Study Project
- Cultural immersion through fieldwork, intensive language classes, and urban and rural homestays with local families
- A small group of students in each program
- Access to SIT’s extensive local resources and networks
- A commitment to reciprocity as the foundation of our educational philosophy
