SIT Graduate Institute

What is the cost of studying for a year at SIT Graduate Institute?

IPEDS figures for 2024-25 report full-time graduate tuition of $45,445 at SIT Graduate Institute for both in-state and out-of-state students, with no separately reported required fees. The reported part-time graduate charge was $1,200 per credit. These are reporting-year figures, not a current quote for every degree or a complete annual living-expense budget.

The same reporting set includes an undergraduate tuition figure of $20,734. Because SIT Graduate Institute is focused on graduate credentials, applicants should not use that figure to price a graduate program or infer that a conventional bachelor's program is available. The practical comparison is the current published tuition for the specific degree, its number of credits, and the costs of any required travel or field placement.

A complete budget may also include housing, food, books, technology, transportation, health expenses, and personal costs. The amount a student ultimately pays can differ from published tuition after scholarships or other aid; borrowing still has to be repaid. Eligible graduate students should review SIT's current scholarship information and complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) when seeking federal aid. Federal loan eligibility and limits depend on the rules in effect for the student's enrollment period.

What are the work-study opportunities at SIT Graduate Institute?

Students may be able to combine an SIT graduate program with paid work, but the feasibility depends on its schedule, fieldwork, and any required travel. An internship or field placement is not necessarily a paid job, even when it contributes to a degree.

Federal Work-Study, where offered and awarded to an eligible student, is a financial-aid-supported employment program; it is different from an ordinary part-time job and does not pay tuition in advance. Applicants who need employment income should ask the financial aid office whether their program and enrollment qualify for work-study, how positions are posted, and whether a required placement may be paid. For career development, the more useful program-specific questions concern internship advising, alumni connections, and support with a professional job search.
