i am curious if anyone knows anything about the MA in tesol at SIT in vermont. it is a pass/fail degree- does that matter when applying to phd programs? how is it recognized abroad? hard to get funding but it is a one-year program so is it worth the 30000 grand that you have to shell out for it?

It's got a reputation, together with the Masters at Monterey, of being the best qualification in its field in the States at least.

Have no idea what weight it has with PhD studies. In the field of TEFL it is right at the top.

Nope; I did a lot of recruiting, so I know about the qualification.
