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. 

• Previous college-level coursework in environmental studies, ecology, biology, or related fields is required to attend this program. This program is very science-heavy!
