school for international training (SIT) Programs
Loyola recently joined the School for International Training (SIT). Programs will be open to LUC students starting in the spring of 2010.
SIT offers an appealing variety of study abroad locations, many of which are located in the developing world. 55 programs are available--24 in Africa, 5 in the Middle East, 11 in Asia, 11 in Europe, and 13 in Latin America. SIT Programs are each centered on one of six Critical Global Issues including: Global Health; Identity and Globalization; Natural Resource Development; Biodiversity and Environmental Policy; Post-Conflict Transformation; Social Movements; Education and Human Rights; and Sustainable Development. All programs are thematic and have a structured curriculum that involves independent research projects and fieldwork. To get started, you must complete both the Loyola Study Abroad Application and the SIT Study Abroad Application. Program deadlines may vary, so check Loyola’s Study Abroad Deadlines Page for more information. Semester tuition ranges from $13,000-$14,000. There will also be a room and board fee, which varies by program. Please check the SIT web site for exact costs.
$1000.00 per semester $500.00 per summer
