Advisor/Important notes:
- SIT programs offer students the opportunity to dive deep into a specific academic topic! These small (15-25 student) programs run on a fixed course model where all students are enrolled in the same courses. SIT highly values experiential learning and makes an effort to get you out of the classroom and into your host community as much as possible. A key component of these programs are the Internship or Independent Study Project that students complete during the last month of their global study semester.
- This program focuses on women, children, family and the health care system. There is excellent health care in India, but it’s not super accessible, so healthcare often comes from the community (especially proactive healthcare rather than reactive healthcare).
- This program works well for Health Sciences, WGS, Anthropology, Public Policy, and IGS majors.
