Vacancy: World Learning Job Vacancy : Academic Director

The SIT Study Abroad Academic

Director (AD) manages one of several SIT’s undergraduate study abroad programs.

Program themes range from development and social change to arts, environmental

studies, post-conflict transformation, health, and human rights. All SIT Study

Abroad programs emphasize field study while examining critical global issues,

in keeping with the broader institution’s peace and social justice mission.

SIT’s educational model focuses on cultural immersion as its primary pedagogy and

uses theories of experiential education to inform its curricula and teaching.

The academic centerpiece of most SIT Study Abroad semester programs is the

independent study project. This component weaves theory into local reality and

synthesizes program coursework.
