SIT Study Abroad welcomes applications from undergraduate students in good academic standing at an accredited college or university who have completed at least one semester of college-level coursework for summer programs, and at least one year of college-level coursework at the time of application for semester programs and preferably two years for IHP/Comparative programs. We are committed to increasing access to international education and to ensuring you have the information you need to successfully access funding for your study abroad program with us.
Most programs prepare students to complete an in-depth, field-based project known as the Independent Study Project, which involves original fieldwork, a final presentation, and a formal research paper. Students will be required to examine the ethics of their research and consider its impact on local communities.
SIT alumni love talking about their experiences. They are outstanding resources for students considering studying abroad, newly enrolled students, and those already in-country.
Program fees include all courses, educational excursions, health insurance, and full room and board for the entire program period. To make study abroad more accessible, SIT’s partner colleges and universities may charge home school tuition fees for their students participating on an SIT Study Abroad program. Tuition fees may vary based on a home institution’s billing policies with SIT.
SIT Study Abroad maintains billing relationships with many colleges and universities. Home colleges and universities determine the type of billing relationship, as well as policies for financial aid transfer. It is the student’s responsibility to determine the nature of the billing agreement either by contacting his or her home school directly or by calling SIT.
We offer summer programs and fall and spring semester programs. SIT Study Abroad has rolling admissions. Programs can fill before the closing date, and at different rates. You can use the filters on this website to find terms that are currently open for application and program fill status.
