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 at SIT Nepal in one semester.
  • This program includes an Everest base camp hike excursion.
  • Works well for Environmental Studies, Economics, Political Science, WGS, Sociology, Public Policy, etc.
