SIT Tunisia & Italy website
Advisor 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.
- A majority of the semester takes place in Tunisia, but there is a three-week excursion to Italy.
- The Independent Study Project or Internship will take place in Tunisia.
- Students can study French or Arabic on this program.
