FLAME Scholars Program
The FLAME Scholars Program is a residential program of 1-year duration which harnesses and builds upon the strengths of the liberal education philosophy.
It helps students to have a better understanding of interdisciplinary education. In addition, it empowers them with skills that will help them perform efficiently in their chosen career and prepares them for higher studies in their area of specialization. The program content, structure and pedagogy are geared towards nurturing and nourishing talent.
Research and scholarship in inter-disciplinary areas shall be an integral part of the program. The broad specializations will primarily be in the areas which we offer as majors in the undergraduate degree program and will harness the strengths of FLAME faculty in various disciplines. In addition, during this inter-disciplinary program, students will be educated to raise fitting questions and prepare themselves through appropriate courses in their quest for solutions.
