A program that offers a non-Western cultural setting will help students further understand globalization and the growing interdependence among global economies and governments. India is set to surpass China as the world’s most populous country by 2022. The population increase will have significant economic, political, and cultural implications not only on India but on the global environment. An introduction to India’s culture, people, infrastructure, and educational setting will equip students with a first-hand knowledge of the world’s fastest growing major economy.
