Program Structure & Courses

The required Business Consulting course is comprised of both an academic course and a locally based business consulting project that will require you to meet with clients and conduct group work outside of class. You’ll have the opportunity to learn about your assigned company through in-person or virtual meetings and by visiting their facilities/operations, conducting market research, creating relationships, ideating proposals and solutions, all of which will culminate in a consulting proposal.

In addition to your 3-credit business consulting course and project, you'll enroll in courses at the CEA CAPA Prague Center and have the option to take additional courses at one of our partner institutions:

  • If you enroll in the 'base program' you'll take 1-credit Czech Culture and Language course through Charles University and 3-4 CEA CAPA courses. The Culture and Language course meets for 15 contact hours/1 semester credit, and CEA CAPA courses meet for 45 contact hours/3 semester credits each. Overall, you may earn a total of 13-16 semester credits (up to 240 contact hours).
  • If you enroll in the CEA CAPA & AAU Hybrid option you'll enroll in 3 AAU courses and 1 CEA CAPA course (optional). AAU courses meet for 42 contact hours/3 credits. Overall, you may earn a total of 12-15 semester credits (up to 216 contact hours).
  • If you enroll in the CEA CAPA & Charles University Hybrid option you'll enroll in 2-3 CEA CAPA courses and 2 CU courses. CU courses meet for 52 contact hours/3 credits. Overall, you may earn a total of 12-15 semester credits (up to 239 contact hours).
  • If you enroll in the CEA CAPA & UNYP Hybrid option you'll enroll in 2-3 CEA CAPA courses and 2 UNYP courses. UNYP courses meet for 45 contact hours/3 credits. Overall, you may earn a total of 12-15 semester credits (up to 225 contact hours).

This versatile program provides you with the opportunity to gain professional experience while also making progress toward your degree requirements and engaging in classes that afford a richer cultural experience.

Prior to departure, you'll select your preferred courses. You will be enrolled into courses based on their availability. It is in your best interest to have multiple alternative courses approved by your home university prior to your departure due to course availability.
