A Guide to Studying Abroad in Goa

What you need to know more about studying abroad in Goa, India

Did you know that India has 23 officially recognized languages?! Lucky for you, Hindu and English are the main languages used by India’s government, and English is used in the majority of college courses. Phew. So, if you are a native English speaker, the only trouble you should run into is familiarizing yourself with the accent! In Goa, you will also have the opportunity to become familiar with the Konkani language, a minority language native to the south-western coast of India.

Popular subjects to study. Students have a wide range of subjects available to them in Goa, but some stand out. History and sociology courses are a great way to learn more about Indian culture and put your study abroad experience into a historical context. Sustainable Development is another popular subject for students looking to gain perspective on how India plans to meet demand and accommodate its fast growing population (while still remaining environmentally friendly). Coming in with the top GDP among all Indian states, Goa is also an ideal place to study business.

Short term and summer programs vs. long term programs. A variety of program lengths can be found when you study in Goa, but just remember that summers can get hot and humid! Of course, Goa’s climate averages between 70-90 degrees Fahrenheit all year long (Yikes, you might want to bring lots of suntan lotion!). Year-long or semester programs are perfect for students looking to truly immerse themselves in India’s culture. However, if you are short on time, short-term programs, from two weeks to a few months, are also a great way to experience Goa.

Attending universities vs. other program types. With a large population comes many educational options, so there are many direct enrollment options to choose from in India. Third party programs are also available and can offer peace of mind and instant community for students who may not want to travel alone. If your home university doesn’t offer a program in India, consider scouting for programs run by other American institutions looking to fill their program spots. You’re bound to find your ideal program for study in Goa in no time!
