JSAA redefines education

Jindal Global University (JGU) is gearing up to offer a distinct education program through its newly launched Jindal School of Arts and Architecture (JSAA). Not only will JSAA offer the professional five-year program in architecture, but also offer BA (Hons.) in Built Environment Studies — a three-year design program which is unique to India. Professor Thomas Mical, dean-designate, JSAA, underlined, “We have a brilliant opportunity to make a new design school and rethink conventional ways to transform architectural education in ways which are truly inclusive and interdisciplinary in nature.” Students can also opt from 16 prefigured minors (History, Global Studies, Law, Public Policy, etc.) or design their own minor in consultation with the faculty members.
