India - INTB 5033: Doing Business in India with Professor Asawari Deshmukh

This course is intended to introduce students to the dynamics of Doing Business in India. India is not only the largest, most populous democracy in the world, but a committed defender of free trade.  Since its independence in 1947, India has embarked on several courses towards development based on different ideologies. Some of those ideas have worked and bourn effective results while other experiments have failed drastically. Through all these vibrant years, it has provided some key insights to scholars of practically every field of Economics, Business, Political science, Technology and Science. The group will travel to Mumbai (formerly called Bombay), Bengaluru (formerly called Bangalore) and Agra (sightseeing - Taj Mahal) in India. Through a variety of lectures, and visits to businesses, government organizations and NGOs students will enhance their understanding of the Indian business environment. They will also get opportunities to interact with peer students from a few colleges in India for a well-rounded perspective of life in a metropolitan city in India.

Before you go abroad on an LCB exchange program, you need to make sure that the courses you want to take will work toward your degree at UC. Find courses at the exchange program that has similar content to the courses you still need to take by using the Credit Approval Transfer Service (CATS). 

• Go to Lindner Central, and log in with your 6+2. Choose “Student Services” then “Credit Approval Transfer Service (CATS)”.
• LCB students will use CATS for one of two purposes:
  • Search for pre-approved courses in “Approved Study Abroad Courses”. If you find the course already approved, you can add it to your Academic Credit Approval Form. Courses must match your program of application.
  • OR Submit for course approval. Choose “Request a New Study Abroad Course” and fill in all required information, including a syllabus, for submission. You will be notified via e-mail if the submission is approved or rejected. Please allow 2 weeks for this approval process.
