SIT offers several multi-country, traveling programs called International Honors Programs ("IHP"). Most IHP begin with two weeks in the United States before moving on to spend four to five weeks in each of three countries on different continents. Students gain a comparative look at a critical global issue such as health, human rights, climate change, cities, food systems, or geopolitics. By analyzing issues and systems from a local to global scale, students begin to understand the complexities and challenges of addressing these issues. These academically rigorous programs integrate experience-based learning through 30+ site visits during the semester. Program cohorts comprise 15 to 30 students.
