India: Beyond the Classroom

Students may participate in various kinds of field study or community service for academic credit by signing up at the EAP Study Center for a Special Study Project. You may design an independent study project, a research project, or an internship to be posted to your UC record.

Students may enroll for a maximum of one independent study course each semester. Independent study requires that a student select a viable project in consultation with a host university faculty adviser and the Study Center Director in Delhi. The Study Center Director and the Universitywide Office of EAP must approve all independent study proposals. The study must complement the content of another course in which a student is enrolled. Students generally make arrangements with the course instructor to further delve into a subject covered in the course. The adviser for the independent study may be a faculty member from the host department or, at the University of Delhi, the advisor may also be from the National Museum.

EAP students studying in India have volunteered to work at local social welfare organizations. Past students at the University of Delhi have worked in health clinics and with disabled children, and helped to preserve ancient buildings in Delhi. The Study Center maintains a list of NGO-s and other organizations with which students may volunteer.

At the University of Hyderabad, internships can be arranged under faculty supervision in a variety of fields, including communication studies, gender studies, and computer science. Internships at the University of Delhi are available through the Faculty of Management Studies.
