Description
The SIT Switzerland: International Studies and Multilateral Diplomacy summer program enables students to increase their understanding of the multifaceted United Nations system, while also examining the extraordinarily large number of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) based in Geneva. In the first part of the program, students attend seminars and complete field-based assignments. Later, each student will engage in interactive research to develop in-depth competence in a specific area of interest.
Two-Part Application Process
Applying to a Year or Term Abroad or a Non-Yale Summer Abroad study abroad program is a two-part process. These are separate application processes with individual deadlines and can be done simultaneously.
- You must apply to your intended program for admission by applying online from the program’s website. Select the Program Website button below to be directed to more information.
- You must apply to Yale Study Abroad for approval to study abroad and the ability to transfer the credit back to your Yale degree. The designated list of programs on our website does not constitute pre-approval or automatic approval from Yale. You must apply to our office by the relevant deadline in order to be approved.

SIT Admissions
SIT accepts students on a rolling basis. In the past, this SIT program has filled early, so we recommend students apply to SIT well before their application deadline.
