Nepal is an exciting and life-transforming place at any time, but it is especially so at this moment in history.  Nepal is a remarkable place to live, study, intern and work for anyone interested in the developing world.  There are opportunities in any field of study from medicine to religion, anthropology to ecology, culture and agriculture, public administration and international development.  

The Cornell program is the only program that has remained operational throughout the entire insurgency; I believe this is at least in part due to Cornell's commitment to making it mutually beneficial to US and Nepali students and faculty.  It is also the only program which involves more Nepali students than US ones and which provides training and field experiences to both in close collaboration with Tribhuvan University faculty.  It is open to both undergraduate and graduate students.
