About Program
Study in Prague, "the crown jewel of central Europe" and the gateway between Eastern and Western Europe. Learn about the incredible cultural and political transformation of the Czech Republic that has occurred since the Velvet Revolution of 1989. At NYU Prague, courses like the Cultural History of the City in Central Europe and European-American Relations in the 21st Century explore fundamental topics in history and social justice. Courses are taught by politicians and public intellectuals, many of whom were key players in the country's transition to democracy. NYU Prague staff organize day trips and overnight excursions to historic sites like Kutná Hora, a medieval town and UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its cathedrals. Or to industrial Ostrava, where students meet members of the town's Roma population. Opportunities vary based on local restrictions. Visit the NYU Prague website for the most up-to-date information.

Response from NYU Global Programs
Hi Ashley. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Your perspective as a student is a valuable resource for prospective students researching a semester abroad. To support our strong emphasis on academics NYU pursues lecturers who are accomplished professionals in their fields. The small classroom setting that most students experience when studying abroad with NYU presents unique opportunities for teaching, learning, and collaboration with peers. At the conclusion of every semester we conduct program evaluations that are driven by student feedback.
We take this process seriously and I can assure you that frustrations concerning our lecturers will be evaluated so that students can have as impactful an academic experience as possible.
Please don't hesitate to contact Global Programs if you have any questions or concerns.
