Program Objectives: 

The program has two main goals: to provide a rigorous academic program which gives students the opportunity to be immersed in regular courses with Czechs and other international students, and to build valuable cross-cultural skills by living in an international setting. 

Academic Program: 

The academic program earns students 3 semester hours of credit. (*equivalent to 4.5 quarter hours for those on a term schedule). The program is designed to give every student a brief taste of the Czech language and culture. This is our shortest program and it is intended for mature students who are able to adjust quickly to their new environment. Students who are attending the spring program may also add the winter intersession to extend their study abroad experience.

Courses:

HIS 237 CENTRAL EUROPEAN HISTORY- This course is an advanced survey of East Central Europe. It will trace political, social and cultural developments in this area from the early Middle Ages to the presence. Emphasis will be given to the comparative aspects of the various nationalities and regions of East Central Europe. The course will examine in greater detail the 20th century upheavals of the region with the climax of the events of 1989. Prerequisite: none.  

COM 351 CREATIVE WRITING- “Good writers are good thinkers.” This course will address students’ original work, assessing its strengths and weaknesses, and means of improvement. Relying on the workshop method, the professor and students will analyze and critique their original work, as well as writing assignments. Reading assignments—short fiction, literary non-fiction, and personal essays—will be discussed in class as evocative and unique examples of creative writing. The ultimate goal of the course is two fold: to recognize and develop each writer’s talent, and to improve his or her creativity. Prerequisite: none
