    CRITICAL GLOBAL ISSUE GLOBAL HEALTH & WELL-BEING 2020–2021 STUDY ABROAD PROGRAMS THIS IS SIT SIT is a leader in immersive, field-based study abroad programs for undergraduates. We offer more than 70 programs in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, as well as our comparative International Honors Program (IHP) which spans multiple locations. In addition to our rich history, our programs’ unique qualities—including exceptional locations, independent research, internships, cultural immersion, and deep networks of local partners—make our programs an ideal choice for an extraordinary and transformative study abroad experience. SIT Study Abroad programs are interdisciplinary and appropriate for a variety of majors. This gives students the opportunity to grapple with the complexities of today’s most pressing issues in specific cultural and geographical contexts or comparatively across several countries. SIT programs are developed around a framework of the most Critical Global Issues (CGIs) of our time—challenges that transcend borders to touch every human on the planet. We have developed this framework so that the next generation of leaders has the expertise and intercultural understanding to engage multiple identities, perspectives, and cultures in respectful, enduring, and meaningful responses. There are seven CGIs in our framework including: Climate & Environment, Development & Inequality, Education & Social Change, Geopolitics & Power, Global Health & Well-being, Identity & Human Resilience, and Peace & Justice. Explore SIT’s complete CGI Framework. INTERNATIONAL HONORS PROGRAM Beyond our traditional programs, the SIT portfolio also features IHP, which offers students the opportunity to compare and contrast a critical issue in multiple countries within the framework of SIT’s values of community, intercultural understanding, sustainability, social inclusion, and justice.
