Southeastern Institute of Technology (SIT), Huntsville, Alabama, was formed in 1976 as a private, not-for-profit, professional school under the provisions of Title 10 of the Code of Alabama. Its purpose was to provide professional-level continuing education and graduate degree programs in engineering, management, and applied science for career advancement, updating, and redirection. SIT received 501(c)(3) status from the Internal Revenue Service, allowing gifts to the Institute to be tax deductible. SIT was Approved and Licensed by the Alabama Department of Education under Title 16-46-1 through 10, Code of Alabama, authorizing the Institute to conduct educational programs and to award degrees. As a professional school, SIT differed from standard academic institutions in a number of important ways: *SIT was under the control of a Board of Directors representing the professional community. *SIT's faculty was composed exclusively of professional practitioners, teaching and advising on a part-time basis. *Application, rather than theory, was emphasized in all courses and programs. *SIT granted professional degrees, as contrasted with academic degrees. The school is now ''inactive'' (see History), but can be reached electronically at SIT-Email@comcast.net or mail to P.O. Box 1485, Huntsville, AL. ==Origin and History== The Huntsville metropolitan area has one of the highest concentrations of engineers and scientists in the United States, and is the home of hundreds of high-technology industrial and governmental organizations. In the early 1970s, an ''ad hoc'' committee examined the special educational needs of this community. They concluded that although the two existing local universities – The University of Alabama in Huntsville and Alabama A&M University – had excellent academic programs, there was an urgent need for instruction at the advanced level and emphasizing applications. Southeastern Institute of Technology was then planned as a stand-alone professional school, with the purpose of meeting the special needs of this high-technology community. The planners included individuals who had previously been involved in the graduate programs and continuing education then available in Huntsville, and understood the potential students as well as the shortcomings of the existing offerings. SIT opened in September 1976, and awarded its first master's degrees in August 1977. Over the following two decades, the school was well received, serving several thousand students and awarding hundreds of degrees. In this same period, however, offerings of a similar nature slowly became available from the local state-supported schools. By 2004, the SIT Board decided that the original purpose of the school was no longer valid and duplication of effort was not in the community's best interest. SIT was placed in an inactive status, not accepting new students or offering classroom courses. The school continues, however, as an entity, allowing the completion of degree requirements by the many students who were near the end of their master's and doctoral studies. The following information concerns SIT when it was in full operation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「'''Southeastern Institute of Technology (SIT)''', Huntsville, Alabama, was formed in 1976 as a private, not-for-profit, professional school under the provisions of Title 10 of the Code of Alabama.

Its purpose was to provide professional-level continuing education and graduate degree programs in engineering, management, and applied science for career advancement, updating, and redirection.SIT received 501(c)(3) status from the Internal Revenue Service, allowing gifts to the Institute to be tax deductible. SIT was Approved and Licensed by the Alabama Department of Education under Title 16-46-1 through 10, Code of Alabama, authorizing the Institute to conduct educational programs and to award degrees. As a professional school, SIT differed from standard academic institutions in a number of important ways:*SIT was under the control of a Board of Directors representing the professional community.*SIT's faculty was composed exclusively of professional practitioners, teaching and advising on a part-time basis.*Application, rather than theory, was emphasized in all courses and programs.*SIT granted professional degrees, as contrasted with academic degrees.The school is now ''inactive''''' (see '''History'''), but can be reached electronically at SIT-Email@comcast.net or mail to P.O. Box 1485, Huntsville, AL.==Origin and History==The Huntsville metropolitan area has one of the highest concentrations of engineers and scientists in the United States, and is the home of hundreds of high-technology industrial and governmental organizations.
