Advisor/Important notes:
- SIT programs offer students the opportunity to dive deep into a specificacademic 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 theirglobal study semester.
