Imagine having an undergraduate qualification recognized both in the United States and India.

Imagine studying in one of India’s best new universities for the first two years, and continuing your education in one of America’s oldest private colleges in serene Florida whose famous alumni include Rahul Gandhi, the Nobel Prize winner for Chemistry in 1987 and a president of the Walt Disney Company Parks and Resorts.

In a rapidly globalizing world, where transnational interaction and global exposure are integral parts of personal development, you now have an educational program that meets the aspirations of the youth of rising India.

The Jindal School of Liberal Arts and Humanities is unique in the way it offers a four-year undergraduate B.A. degree wherein a student will spend the first two years in India followed by two years at Rollins College, Florida, with the aim of gaining an extensive interdisciplinary education and requisite intellectual, research and analytical skills that are crucial for development and leadership.

Boasting of a faculty educated at universities like Oxford, Harvard, Cambridge, Columbia and Chicago, the Jindal-Rollins dual degree B.A. program has developed a first-of-its-kind educational model to prepare and equip students with various skills to perform well during their years abroad. It will not only help enrich the quality of Indian students studying in the United States but also strengthen the student’s chances of undertaking higher education in America or Europe or securing a career after graduating from Rollins College.

In a world with soaring education costs, Jindal-Rollins program offers a first-rate education at relatively lower prices, especially when compared to the cost of a full undergraduate degree in the West. The O P Jindal Global University campus at Sonepat offers a vibrant social and educational experience where teachers and students from all over the world interact and work together to create a global intellectual hub.
