Best Humanities Courses Prague Near Me

4worldlovers: You choose a concentration with a unique core course, a Czech language course, and three CET electives to meet the recommended 15 total credits. If you choose to complete an internship or choose a direct-enroll elective, you may choose two CET electives instead.


Tailor your learning. Your concentration determines your core course and some of your academic-related excursions. Study Business & Economics and learn why companies are investing in Prague. Select Central European Studies and learn about Prague’s history as a hotbed of resistance. Or choose Jewish Studies and get to know the Jewish community in Prague, its history, and its place in contemporary Europe.


Intern in Prague. No matter which concentration you choose, you can pursue an internship placement and course to test the waters of an international career. Help Manifesto expand their award-winning food and culture markets. Assist Political Prisoners with website and media work. Or gain business experience with Zentiva, a pharmaceutical giant operating in Europe and India. You’ll also examine work through an academic, professional, and experiential lens in your accompanying internship course.


Frequently cited as the “best part of the program,” your semester offers two Traveling Seminars that take learning to Czech sites outside of Prague and around Central Europe. During your week-long seminar to Poland, the Czech Republic, and Austria, customized according to your concentration, you might:


• Visit Krakow, Poland. Meet with Polish entrepreneurs, visit the Nowa Huta Workers’ Quarter, and see Schindler’s Factory.


• Reflect at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Go on a guided visit, engage in a discussion with local students, and attend a film screening.


• Experience Brno. Visit the Museum of Roma Culture and nearby Mikulov, a town known for its wine.

• Spend time in Vienna. Meet with Jewish community leaders, explore Naschmarkt, and visit the Museum of Economics.

You will also take a four-day long weekend Traveling Seminar to Budapest, Hungary where you meet with local professors and students, explore the artist community at Szentendre, and have a guided visit to Jewish Budapest.

Local Roommates. CET-picked Czech students live in your apartment building to help you acclimate to life in a new country. They also organize a regular “Czech Table” so you can practice your language skills around the city. You might go for a countryside hike, try Czech desserts, or explore a museum. Learn more about living with a local roommate.

Eating in Prague. For meals, take advantage of the exceptional and affordable food scene in Prague. Try out Czech favorites like chlebíčky (open face sandwich with unique ingredients) and smažený sýr (fried cheese with potatoes and tartar sauce). Grab a treat at one of the city’s farmers markets. Ready for a home-cooked meal? Grab ingredients at the grocery store and have a night in with your roommates. Learn more about accommodating your dietary needs in Prague.

Enjoy the perks of living in “the world’s greenest city” by reading in the park. Roam the streets and find your favorite view. Become a regular at your favorite neighborhood spots. See a world-class play at one of the city’s many beautiful theaters. On your Fridays off, get lost in the winding streets of the Jewish Quarter, museum hop from the National Gallery to the DOX Center for Contemporary Art, then unwind at a cozy café. Prague has a little something for everybody.

Around Prague. Take in a concert by the Czech Symphony in the Senate Gardens. Go paddle boating on the river. Climb the towers of Prague Castle. Spend an afternoon volunteering with a local organization. Each term offers different opportunities to get to know the city and your cohort.

Away from the city. Prague’s central location means easy access to the rest of Europe—but with so many CET-arranged excursions, you may not need to leave. All students visit UNESCO World Heritage site Český Krumlov during orientation. See Kutná Hora, famous for its church decorated with bones. Understand the Czechoslovak history of gulags at Jáchymov.
