SIT Study AbroadSIT Study Abroad offers undergraduate study abroad programs in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East. These programs are distinguished by:
- A field-based, experiential approach that redefines the classroom as students learn from academics, policymakers, and other professionals in the real-world settings of communities, workplaces, organizations, and natural environments;
- Genuine cultural immersion through intensive language classes and urban and rural homestays that enables students to make deep connections that promote academic progress, personal growth, and intercultural understanding;
- A focus on critical global issues that inspires interdisciplinary program themes, such as the impact of development and the revival of Islam in Jordan or the effect of global economic changes on Mongolia’s nomadic culture;
- Local resources and networks that provide access to extraordinary student learning opportunities;
- Undergraduate research through SIT Study Abroad’s hallmark month long Independent Study Project that provides the opportunity to learn primary research methods, skills, and ethics; practice field study; and gain a deep understanding of the research topic.
