India Studies
The Indian subcontinent provides a rich and complex background for
the study of a non-Western civilization. India Studies program participants
live with Indian host families in Pune, a city that is at once both
traditional and highly industrialized, offering students an excellent
opportunity to observe the interaction of tradition and modernity that
characterizes contemporary India.
While there, students enroll at Tilak
Maharashtra Vidyapeeth for an academic session, where they have language
instruction, choose four other courses and complete their independent
study projects. Additionally, students enjoy field trips, which can
include nearby cultural sites such as the Ajanta and Ellora caves and
the festival at Jejuri. A variety of extracurricular activities, such
as dance, yoga, weaving and batik, can be arranged.
