Description

Christ College in Bangalore offers students the opportunity to study while living in one of the most fascinating and interesting regions of India. It is an ideal place to learn how a technological and business revolution is transforming traditional Indian society into a fast-paced hybrid of East-West life. Today, Bangalore is the capital of the state of Karnataka and one of Indias most modern cities with malls, bargain shopping centers, espresso shops, nightclubs and multi-cuisine restaurants. Its location in India's Silicon Valley also makes it an excellent spot for networking and developing contacts with companies involved in software and business outsourcing.

Bangalore is in the state of Karnataka--the entrance to the deep south of India. Karnataka has extraordinary historical and cultural sites such as the ruins of the once powerful Vijaynagar empire, the medieval monuments at Bidar and splendid dome of the Golgumbaz in Bijapur.

Highlights

USAC students will be totally integrated at Christ College and will study alongside students from the state of Karnataka and other parts of India while experiencing the culture, learning about the country, and making friends. Students can take specialized classes in Indian Cultural Studies including Buddhism, Politics of Southeast Asia, Bollywood and more. Students are also paired with Indian buddies to help orient them to the university and surrounding areas. Some volunteer opportunities may be available for students enrolled in the sociology/social work program.
