School Spotlight on the International Center for Management and India Studies!

Program Site

CCIS's program is located at the International Center for Management and India Studies (ICMIS).  The program is located near Bangalore, India, which is known as  heart of the Indian "Silicon Valley".  Bangalore City is the 5th largest city in India, and certainly the most pleasant in terms of weather and climate. It is also known as the "Garden City" with numerous parks and places to stroll. With a thriving social scene, students are encouraged to visit art galleries, exhibitions, restaurants, musical events and more.  

Academic Highlights

The program is designed for students interested in participating in an India cultural experience. The program will focus on providing students opportunities to take courses across a broad spectrum covering areas such as Indian history, culture, and language. The program also will provide opportunities for volunteer opportunities for those who are interested. Students may choose to study Introduction to Indian History, Introduction to Religions of India, Foreign Language (Indian Languages Hindi/Sanskrit/Tamil/Kannada), International Business, Indian Literature and Hindu Mythology. For more information, please refer to the Course Descriptions page. This program is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors with a minimum GPA of 2.5.

Student Life

Students will have the option to be placed in brand new dorms on campus or to be placed in homestays which typically include a single bedroom with breakfast. For homestay participants, we encourage you to experience India as a local by living with a family and participating in daily living rituals. All study abroad students will be provided with a school and city orientation upon arrival. Field trips for study abroad students will be based on courses and may include city or day tours to religious, cultural, and historical sites. Short duration (1-2 day) study tours to major sites in South India are also included in the program.
