Sharing her thoughts on the collaboration with FLAME University, Catherine Epstein, Provost and Dean of the Faculty, Amherst College, said, “We’re delighted to build a strong relationship with FLAME University, one of the premier liberal arts institutes in India. With this partnership, we will provide outstanding opportunities to our students and faculty to engage in collaborative learning and research. I very much look forward to sending our students and faculty to FLAME, and to hosting FLAME students and faculty at Amherst.”
The FLAME – Amherst collaboration is for an initial period of 5 years. Amherst students may spend one semester taking liberal arts courses with and living in residences alongside FLAME students. FLAME faculty come from top institutions in India and around the world. The small class size will be familiar to Amherst students, which offers many opportunities for engaging with professors. Similarly, FLAME University students can also spend one semester or an entire year taking liberal arts courses with and living in residences alongside Amherst students. This exchange program is for undergraduate students.
The collaboration also includes students, faculty and staff exchanges, research collaborations, curricular development, conduction of experiential learning programs, pedagogical innovations, academic conferences and colloquium series.
Currently, FLAME University has collaborations with prestigious global institutions across the world such as Nuffield College – University of Oxford, Wellesley College, Kelley School of Business – Indiana University Bloomington, Babson Collaborative, and IE University.
