About the Program

Experience the combination of technologies, media, and cultures first-hand, even reporting on Czech culture and current events. There are more than 100 courses, all taught in English, across a range of disciplines, available through our local partner institutions - Anglo-American University (AAU) or University of New York in Prague (UNYP). CEA CAPA Prague Center courses are also available and focus on the local context, examining Czech culture and helping you gain new insights into historical and contemporary life in Central Europe. Many courses incorporate an active learning style that takes you out of the classroom and into the city, lending real-world context to lessons learned in the classroom.
