SIT Description

The School for International Training is far from a traditional college. In fact, SIT is a center for study abroad programs, providing a variety of options each year for undergraduate students.

SIT maintains undergraduate study abroad programs in Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, the Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and North Africa and the Middle East. The subjects covered include:

  • Arts, Media and Social Change
  • Development, Urban Studies and Entrepreneurship
  • Global Health
  • Identity and Globalization
  • Natural Resource Management, Biodiversity and Environmental Policy
  • Post-Conflict Transformation
  • Social Movements, Education and Human Rights

The school is also home to the SIT Graduate Institute, which combines SIT’s passion for experiential international learning with a more traditional academic model. The Graduate Institute’s academics offer master’s degrees and certificates in:

  • Conflict Transformation
  • International Education
  • Sustainable Development
  • Intercultural Service, Leadership and Management
  • TESOL

Financial aid is available for both graduate students and undergraduates enrolling in study abroad programs. SIT funds several scholarship opportunities based on a variety of criteria, such as cultural diversity, merit and your location or field of study.

The main purpose of SIT’s scholarships is to provide study abroad opportunities for all students, regardless of background or financial need.
