The Rabat, Morocco program is offered through Hobart and William Smith Colleges' affiliation with the School for International Training (SIT), an organization that has placed U.S. students in rigorous, highly specialized programs throughout the world for decades. HWS students will join other students from colleges throughout the U.S. to share coursework, excursions and the study of place. A unique feature of the program is that all students will design and carry out, in consultation with SIT and HWS faculty, a four-week long independent field study project in a broad range of academic areas that connect to one of the two program tracks: Multiculturalism and Human Rights or Migration and Transnational Identity (students in the latter may pursue an internship instead of the independent project).
