College Semester Abroad Programme in Nepal

Students from colleges and universities of western countries (USA, Canada, UK, etc.) can do a college semester program in Nepal. Some American colleges/universities have been doing this for a long time. This program could be for 3 weeks or for a full semester. The course contains following, which is adjustable to the need and requirements of the college/university.

Language and cross cultural training program: Spoken Nepali is very useful when students are working with local agencies and staying with Nepali families. Cultural sessions are built into the language course.

Course on economics: Several different lectures are organized on the economy of Nepal. The sessions are designed in such a way that the students gradually learn about different aspects of the Nepalese economy.

Working with NGOs or independent study project: To acquire a deeper knowledge of the socio-economic situation and life-style of Nepali people students may work with a social service agency or they may do an independent study project during the semester.

To reinforce the learning about Nepalese economy and culture the following activities are organized 

• A trip religious & economically significant places

• Trekking

• Village stay

• Jungle safari (optional)

• Guided tour of temple in Kathmandu vally (optional)

• Visit to INGOs and local NGOs
