Study Abroad | Prague

This program is designed for students wishing to gain insight into the history, culture and development of Eastern and Central Europe by taking courses taught in English across a range of subject fields.

The program begins with a required orientation program in Czech language and culture. This includes Czech language instruction, cultural activities and excursions throughout Prague to help you to adjust and make the transition to living in the Czech Republic as smooth as possible. Classes are held for 5 hours per day, 4 days a week for the first 2 weeks of the program for a total of 52 contact hours. Two all-day field trips are also included. The orientation component carries a recommended 3 credits.

ECES students take a minimum of 4 or a maximum of 5 courses. Each course meets for 52 hours per semester, for 12 or 13 weeks and is recommended for 3 credits. You can therefore earn up to 18 credits (including the 3-credit orientation component). Courses are taught in English.

*2.7 GPA and above will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Working side by side with locals is an ideal way to gain insight into another culture, to understand different approaches and to prepare for the realities of working in a multicultural and interdependent world. AIFS Abroad has designed the Full Curriculum/Multiple Career Fields Program to combine a traditional academic learning experience with a unique opportunity to study working life in the Czech Republic firsthand with placements in Prague-based organizations. Interns will be engaged in different fields ranging from production, marketing, IT and administrative assistant placements to teaching English in a local elementary school.

Full Curriculum/Multiple Career Fields students earn up to 15 U.S. credits for the semester plus 3-credits for the orientation component. The internship is accredited by Fairfield University and offered for 3 credits. In addition to the internship students take up to 4 courses from the East and Central European Studies Program (ECES) at Charles University.

In a competitive world, practical experience is an invaluable addition to classroom learning. The internship provides vital insight into a career field, experience in the global workplace, practical exposure to the demands of specific jobs and development of professional and personal skills. International work experience helps students test a potential career path while exploring interests and abilities in new ways.
