School for International Training Offers New Programs for Professionals in
International Education
Greetings from the School for International Training (SIT)! We wanted to let you know about two exciting new opportunities available through SIT specifically for the working international education professional. We are pleased to announce two new programs: a Low-Residency Master of Arts in International Education and a Graduate Certificate in International Education!
You are probably familiar with SIT's work in the field of International Education. You may have even thought about applying for our Master's degree in order to increase your skills and understanding of the field or recommending it to your colleagues, but for many professionals leaving a job and your home community to enroll in a residential program in Vermont hasn't been an option. Or, maybe you already have an advanced degree in another field. Now, we are offering two exciting new ways to get a degree or a certificate through SIT without leaving home.
Low-Residency Master of Arts in International Education
The new Low-Residency Master of Arts in International Education will be launched this summer, in June of 2007. This program offers the same curriculum and courses as SIT's well-established on-campus degree-the differences are the delivery format and pacing of the programs. With the Low-Residency degree you do not have to leave your current job in the field of international education or your community-you can earn your degree while you work.
The Low-Residency degree is designed for working professionals. You will complete most of your coursework on line and have only three short residential periods (two 2-week and one 1-week sessions) on SIT's Vermont campus over the course of two years. Through the on-line coursework, you will use your work in an international education workplace to contribute to a "virtual community" of other students enrolled in the
program. You will receive the same high-quality Master's Degree in International Education that you would from our on-campus program, but via a different structure which allows for more flexibility in terms of location, work, and when you study.
Graduate Certificate in International Education:
For those who already have an advanced degree, or do not want to do a full master's program at this time, but seek additional skills in the field of international education, we invite you to look at the new Graduate Certificate in International Education.
Designed specifically for those who want to add to their skills set and stay abreast of new trends in the field, the Graduate Certificate offers the opportunity to apply your learning from your workplace and complete online coursework with a virtual cohort of fellow international education professionals. The Graduate Certificate requires you to spend only two short (two-week) residential periods on SIT's Vermont campus over the course of one year. At the end of that year, you will receive a Graduate Certificate, or you can seamlessly transition into the Low Residency Master
of Arts in International Education if you want to continue with your studies.
If you are interested in applying for either of these new and exciting options, please visit our website at http://www.sit. edu/graduate/ maie_lowres/ index.html (for the MA) or http://www.sit. edu/graduate/ maie_cert/ index.html (for the Graduate
