CERGE at Charles University

The Undergraduate Program in Central European Studies (UPCES) evolved as a joint effort of CERGE-EI and Charles University striving for a common goal: a top quality undergraduate educational experience focused on integral issues of Central Europe. These two institutions work together to ensure American, Czech, and other European students a challenging educational environment in which they learn from experienced faculty, as well as from one another.

Study abroad students take part in courses organized specifically for UPCES. Each classroom is divided into one-half American and one-half European. The European segment comes from both students of Charles University and other European Erasmus students studying abroad in Prague. This integration guarantees that students take their courses in an international, multi-cultural environment. UPCES feels strongly that students can develop a true sense of the region through direct academic and social interaction within the local culture.

This program offers a multi-disciplinary approach to Central European issues with a particular strength in the social sciences.
