Education

Our Center promotes knowledge exchange through a set of academic programs and internships to enable students to immerse themselves in the culture and life of India, learn with regional experts and peers, and gain a practical insight into the global. We offer excellent opportunities for strengthening Columbia University's global learning mission through courses, studios, field trips, and internships. We also aim to develop programs on professional/executive education for executives, government officers, and development professionals in the region.

The Center is working together with the Columbia Climate School to find Capstone Projects for students pursuing an MA in Climate and Society. These projects aim to offer client organizations a valuable consulting service and to allow students to apply their skills and knowledge of climate science, adaptation and mitigation strategies, quantitative analysis, sustainability, justice, and policy to address real-world issues. Companies interested in participating can send an email expressing their interest to [email protected].

Columbia University has a total of twenty schools, out of which four are undergraduate schools and sixteen are graduate schools. If you're interested in studying at Columbia, you can attend the information sessions organized by the Center. These sessions allow you to learn about Columbia's academic programs, admissions processes, and career support. Moreover, they offer an opportunity to connect with faculty, admissions staff, and alumni.

The Center has already organized information sessions for several schools, including the Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia Journalism School, Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, School of Professional Studies, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and the School of International and Public Affairs.

Global education is a key focus at Columbia University. The Center collaborates with varied local institutions to provide internships to students. Previously, the Mumbai Center has connected students with internships at organizations such as Aga Khan Trust for Culture, Jehangir Nicholson Art Foundation, Museum of Art and Photography, ReNew Power, Shillim Institute, and Youth for Unity and Voluntary Action. Depending on their preference, students can choose from virtual or in-person internships
