Program Details
Through the India Study Abroad Program, you will explore and experience the ways that globalization is impacting India's culture and economy and see entrepreneurs in action in this dynamic, vibrant, rapidly changing country.
You will tour industrial areas of two of India's largest cities, Delhi and Mumbai, and see how people work and live every day in the world's second most populous nation. You will visit several markets and participate in a barter economy. You will visit the ancient city of Jaipur, observe the traditional Indian block-printing process, and see the impact of industrialization on traditional handicraft industries.
