FLAME has made a radical departure from traditional models of higher education by addressing two critical issues - lack of inter-disciplinary as well as the lack of opportunity to make an informed decision about one's specialization. Rather than limiting students to the three streams of Arts, Science and Commerce, FLAME allows students to take courses across cognate areas such as Physical and Natural Sciences, Humanities, Social Sciences and Fine and Performing Arts. This exposes students to multiple disciplines, to give them the opportunity to truly explore their academic interests so that they can make an enlightened choice about their specialization. The core courses such as Critical Reasoning, Academic Writing, Digital Literacy, Mental Models and Financial Literacy equip students with the necessary skills to excel in their future.
FLAME's undergraduate academic programs are delivered on a Semester system, which allows for concentrated work to be achieved across a 18 week time frame (some semesters are further divided into two terms of 9 weeks each). This provides students with an opportunity to do a range of courses thereby enhancing their breadth of knowledge and at the same time students receive instruction in a wider range of topics in their specializations thereby enhancing their depth of knowledge. FLAME has also established the practice of including uniquely-crafted experiential learning programs alongside the academic curriculum, which is innovative and ground-breaking in the Indian context. Through this, all FLAME students have access to a set of structured opportunities for personal growth and professional development. Students have the opportunity to access these experiential learning programs alongside their academic programs. These experiential learning programs are: The Development Activities Program (DAP), the Discover India Program (DIP) and the Summer Internship Program (SIP). These opportunities are structured in ways that provide for hands-on experience, while incorporating a reflective component that enhances the student experience.
FLAME University's undergraduate program comprises of Foundation Courses, Specialization Courses, Experiential Learning Courses, Value-Added Courses and Open Elective Courses.
The Undergraduate Program endeavours to fire the imaginations of young minds, foster creativity, propel innovation, and provide the basis for the preparation of a new generation of informed leaders who will make a lasting impact in their chosen fields. Rooted in liberal education, the program aims to impart breadth and depth of knowledge along with valuable life and transferable skills that are critical to succeed in life.
The Undergraduate Program is informed by interdisciplinary perspectives. It prepares one to question preconceived notions, find ways to overcome them, and adopt broader perspectives for the solution of complex problems. It makes explicit the connections between disciplines, and as a result provides the capacity to integrate ideas and apply knowledge contextually. Interdisciplinary education helps advance critical thinking, identifies insights from multiple disciplines, and promotes lasting and significant learning.
The program comprises of Foundation Courses, Specialization Courses (Major and Minor), Experiential Learning Courses, Value-Added Courses, Project-based Courses (in the optional year IV), and Open Elective Courses. An unwavering focus on fundamental skill development and career preparedness is at the core of all courses. Students are encouraged to reflect on their passions and ambitions and choose their courses accordingly. The program is designed to provide the necessary knowledge and skills that prepare the student to succeed in the career of their choice.
