ISA is an on-campus student organization conceived with the objective of representing India and the Indo-American community to the UC Berkeley campus in particular and the Bay Area in general. One in every six individuals born on Earth is an Indian, yet India as a concept is not limited to the boundaries of the nation-state that today bears its name. India is verily a timeless civilization, firmly established upon the bedrock of unity in diversity and continuity amidst change.

Throughout the course of world history India has made significant contributions to humanity through science, mathematics, spirituality, literature and polity. It has given the world leaders and role models including Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Kabir, and countless others. It is with this firm understanding that ISA intends to present India at the footsteps of UC Berkeley.


Some student decide that the best way for them to go into the field of teaching is by pursuing online masters degrees in education after they finish their time at a 4-year University.
