CIEE Central European Studies in Prague

Overview | Academics | Cost | Location | Life Abroad | Student Voices

Offered through the Council on International Education Exchange (CIEE), this program in the Czech Republic is co-sponsored with UW-Madison. The Prague CIEE Study Center, hosted by Charles University in Prague, has two main goals: to provide a rigorous academic program that gives students the opportunity to learn about subjects related to the region, and to provide the experience of immersion in the setting on which their studies are focused. The program offers students a series of specially designed courses in such fields as history, political science, culture, social issues, literature, art history, and communication arts (film).

As a newly joined EU member, the Czech Republic is a perfect example of the tumultuous and steady development of a society. The CIEE Study Center in Prague has its own facility in the historic Vysehrad neighborhood of Prague that sits atop one of Prague's highest hills and within medieval castle walls in a beautiful park-like setting. The location is close to the center of Prague and about twenty minutes from other faculties of Charles University.
