Have the diverse cultures and dramatic landscapes of Nepal write the next chapter in your college education. Over time, Nepal has drawn the most intrepid of travelers, mountaineers, anthropologists, linguists, and spiritual aspirants. The Kathmandu Valley was once only accessible by those brave enough to cross the jungles in the south or the snowy passes of the Himalaya. In a land of deep traditions, this College Study Abroad program explores the diversity of Nepal while delving into themes of social justice, development, and leadership in an intercultural context for student groups. Academic courses, as well as a deliberate skills progression throughout the semester, provide depth and breadth to this cross-cultural program.

The backdrop for this program in Nepal is the medieval town of Patan, one of the three original kingdoms of the Kathmandu Valley. Our time in this community of cobble-stoned streets and brightly adorned shops is characterized by homestays, language study, exposure to local scholars, and the development of Independent Study Projects.
