The Destination
Cobblestone streets, ancient bridges, and a hilltop castle help lend the City of a Hundred Spires its reputation as one of the world’s most beautiful. Prague is unique in Europe, having shed its Communist past and brimming with carefully preserved monuments from every period and style in its millennial history. There’s plenty of quirky, too, like the Žižkov Tower adorned with climbing babies, and the distinctly nontraditional Dancing House. Easy to explore on foot, the city boasts a vibrant cultural life that includes concerts, festivals, operas, and more – many of which you can access on a student budget.

The program detailsThis program offers students a series of courses designed to help students explore the dynamics of this Central European nation and its culture. Courses are taught in English. There is no language prerequisite, but students are encouraged to take a Czech language course.
Students begin with a one-and-a-half week orientation session, which will also introduce students to useful Czech language basics with the intent of making the cultural immersion as enriching as possible. Courses are taught by faculty affiliated with Charles University, University of Economics, Czech Academy of Science, and the Academy of Performing Arts (FAMU) and others.
CIEE Prague is located at Vyšehrad, at the top of one of Prague’s highest hills, within medieval castle walls in a beautiful park-like setting about 15 minutes from the Old Town area. All CIEE classes are held at CIEE Prague. CIEE students can also take courses at FAMU and Charles University, the oldest university in Central Europe.
