Formerly known as the School for International Training, the SIT Graduate Institute offers graduate students a widened view of the world and opportunities for in-depth study of the most critical global issues of our times.

Founded over 40 years ago as a training center for early Peace Corps volunteers, SIT Graduate Institute prepares students from more than 30 countries to become informed and effective leaders, professionals, and global citizens. Graduates of SIT Graduate Institute's degree programs go on to start nonprofit organizations, become government and civic leaders, and achieve success in the private sector.

Through a combination of classroom and field-based learning in fields ranging from international education to international development, SIT Graduate Institute enables students to transfer academic learning into real-world practice in the service of social change.

"For more than 40 years, SIT Graduate Institute Degrees and Professional Programs have prepared students who imagine the world not as it is, but as it could be."
