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.
- Gettysburg students have the opportunity to fulfill the entire Gettysburg Curricular language requirement through SIT Jordan in Arabic language in one semester.
- Great program for Political Science, International Affairs, Middle Eastern & Islamic Studies, and Public Policy.
