Study Abroad
SCU is an advocate for merging experiences of Ayurveda learned in Western and Eastern cultures, with a commitment to enhancing student training through international learning experiences. Studying abroad provides students with a global perspective on how different health practices, health care platforms, and cultural influences on health and wellness influence the delivery of healthcare.
The Ayurveda Medicine Department study abroad experience provides students the opportunity to learn ancient techniques and theories, paired with modern scientific research from prestigious universities and hospitals located where Ayurvedic medicine originated.  The Ayurveda Medicine Department currently affiliates with esteemed organizations in India, such as Amrita Center for Advanced Research in Ayurveda, Institute of Teaching in Ayurveda (ITRA), KLE Ayurveda, and AVP Research Foundation.
Ayurveda students typically study abroad during the two-week intersession between Spring and Summer terms. Due to accreditation limitations, study abroad cannot award hours or credits toward the student’s program curriculum, though it serves as an exceptional self-enrichment and learning experience.

Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham is a multi-campus, multi-disciplinary research academia that is accredited ‘A++’ by NAAC and is ranked as one of the best research institutions in India.

AVP Research Foundation (AVPRF) works to develop appropriate research methodologies that address the complexity of Ayurvedic treatments that seek to integrate the individual’s body, mind, and soul to promote healing.
