Offered through the Honors College, students will experience the beauty and allure of both historical and modern India. This course will focus on current sociological issues in India, such as population, the environment, and economic development as well as culture and everyday life. Students will visit the capital New Delhi; Amritsar, the center of Sikh culture; the planned city of Chandigarh; and the resort town of Shimla. The finale includes the abandoned capital city of Fatehpur Sikri and Agra which includes a sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal.
The program is led by Professor Emeritus Allen Furr. Dr. Furr's extensive experience in India makes for a memorable, if not life-changing, study abroad opportunity.
