New York State Independent College Consortium for Study in India


Four colleges -- Hamilton, Hartwick, Hobart and William Smith and St. Lawrence -- form the New York State Independent College Consortium for Study in India (NYSICCSI). NYSICCSI offers a rich and rigorous program designed to introduce college students to the great geographic and cultural diversity of northern India during the fall semester.

The program is directed by a faculty director from one of the NYSICCSI colleges, who accompanies the students in India. The faculty director oversees the curriculum, including the content and staffing of the courses taught by Indian nationals. The faculty director is accompanied and assisted by an assistant director whose qualifications complement those of the faculty director. The faculty director for the 2010 program is Associate Professor Lisa Trivedi of Hamilton College.
