Overview
Description: Imagine waking up each morning and reminding yourself, "Wow, I'm in India!"
Come and explore a country with a 5,000 year-old civilization, where mouthwatering curries, philosophical debates, and morning yoga become part of your routine day.
The Semester in India Program (SIP) provides you the opportunity to live and breathe India every waking day. Our program is unique in its design, emphasizing academic independence and cultural immersion. Students directly enroll at Pondicherry University (PU) in South India. Our students immerse themselves in popular classes like Classical Yoga, Hinduism and Its Practices, and Postcolonial Literature.
PU is located in the city of historic Pondicherry, a charming coastal city with an imprint of French culture and seaside villas. English, French, Tamil and Hindi are commonly spoken in this scenic part of India, where Indian and Western cultures co-exist in harmony.
