The Intercollegiate Sri Lanka Education (ISLE) Program is a consortium-
based study-abroad program centered in Kandy and affiliated with the U.
of Peradeniya. ISLE began operating in 1982 as a fall-semester program
offering a broad range of courses structured specifically for American
liberal arts undergraduate students. ISLE Consortium members include:
Bates, Bowdoin, Carleton, Hobart & William Smith, and Swarthmore Colleges,
Cornell U. and the U. of Pennsylvania.
The ISLE Program accepts 12-18 students each year from member schools.
(Non-member students are accepted only under special conditions.) The
program runs from early August to mid-December, incorporating two tours
of Sri Lanka - one of the Cultural Triangle and the other around the south
coast. Required courses include Sinhala language, a Sri Lanka Studies
Seminar (presenting a broad spectrum of cultural, social and political
issues), and an Independent Study. Optional courses cover a range of
disciplines, including religion, history, literature, politics, gender
studies, economics, and folklore.
ISLE is administered from Bowdoin College by Dr. Ted Adams - an anthropolo-
gist specializing in S. Asia, who also administers the South India Term
Abroad (SITA) Program.
