SIT: A Global University

Lauren Berlak — Thu, 30 May 2024 18:34:16 +0000

SIT’s rich history dates back more than 60 years, beginning in picturesque southern Vermont as one of the primary training centers for Peace Corps volunteers. Today, our global campus extends to nearly 30 learning centers across 29 countries, where we provide experiential undergraduate programs and master’s degrees abroad. These learning centers offer one-of-a-kind opportunities for in-person learning, cultural immersion, and face-to-face interaction with faculty, peers and community partners whose perspectives are non-western and decolonial. You will form relationships and build networks that broaden your perspectives and foster invaluable cross-cultural understanding.
