STUDY & INTERN IN PRAGUE

— Sienna Willis, Smith College, Spring 2018

CET Prague really lived up to all of my study abroad expectations. From the housing placement to the Czech buddies, the Traveling Seminar, and the size of the program, I could not have asked for more.

CHOOSE FROM THREE ACADEMIC CONCENTRATIONS

As a member of the EU, the Czech Republic is home to many multinational corporations, making it the place to study Business & Economics. With the renowned Malach Centre, sites steeped in Jewish history, and an active Jewish Community, Prague is the place to pursue Jewish Studies. And as a longstanding hotbed of political resistance and artistic experimentation, Prague is the place to explore Central European Studies.

DON’T JUST VISIT PRAGUE-LIVE IN PRAGUE. Stroll down cobblestone walkways. Sip a coffee at an early 20th century artists café. Hike up to Prague Castle. Take photographs on the Charles Bridge at sunset. Spend a semester or a summer living and learning in a city that has charmed visitors for centuries.

GO ON AN UNFORGETTABLE TRAVELING SEMINAR. Walk through history at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Explore the Museum of Roma Culture at Brno. Hear from CEOs in Vienna. The Traveling Seminar in the fall and spring isn’t just about traveling farther…it’s about traveling deeper. It’s no wonder that students frequently call it “the best part of the program.”

INTERN IN EUROPE. Plan fundraising activities at the Forum 2000 Foundation. Develop marketing tactics at Digital Trends. Learn firsthand about the global operations of an energy producer, or the domestic operations of a media outlet. Prague is ripe with opportunities to start building your skills…and your résumé.
