Bhisé Global Learning Experience
The Bhisé Global Learning Experience (BGLE) is designed to give students a deeper appreciation of the world’s economics, politics and culture.
Travel to India
The Bhisé Global Learning Experience to India provides an immersive 10-day study tour of India, including New Delhi, Goa, and Mumbai. Guided by Adelphi faculty members, students visit businesses, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), healthcare facilities, environmental programs, universities, schools and cultural institutions to gain a deeper understanding of the country—and to enhance their global mindset.
The program also includes curricular, cocurricular and extracurricular components for the entire Adelphi University community, focusing on Indian economics, politics, culture and society.
Participation in the program is limited to eight juniors and seniors, who are selected through a competitive application process. Some of the inaugural participants found it to be a life-changing experience.
