Liberal Arts & Social Sciences
2010 June 6-Week (1 Course) - Academics

Academic Focus

The Liberal Arts & Social Sciences Program in Prague is designed for students interested in taking electives in English while immersing themselves in the Czech culture. Students have full access to the summer course list offered by Anglo-American University and can take courses from a wide variety of subject areas within the liberal arts, social sciences, and business. Students will sit alongside Czech and international students in the classroom, and given all courses are taught in English, students have the opportunity to become engaged in their studies without previous knowledge of the Czech language. Popular courses focus on Prague Art and Architecture, Central European History and East Central European Politics, and International Business. The diversity in curriculum allows you the flexibility to choose courses that best meet your individual academic and personal needs. Intimate class sizes and highly professional staff at Anglo-American University provide the perfect atmosphere for students to study and discover the Czech Republic.

This program is offered in a 6-week and 8-week session. Students in the 6-week session will take one or two electives, and students in the 8-week session will take two or three electives. A variety of session lengths are offered to give students the option of choosing the program that is right for them. All electives meet for a total of 45 contact hours and are generally worth 3 credits in the US semester system. Students enrolled can earn anywhere from 3 to 9 credits, depending on the session chosen. However, it is up to the discretion of your academic advisor how much credit will be awarded.

Schedule Summary

During the 6-week summer session, each course is typically held twice a week, for three and a half hours. Classes are offered in three time blocks: morning, afternoon and evening.

Students choosing the 8-week summer session will arrive in Prague two weeks earlier and take one additional 3-credit course offered on an intensive basis, in addition to taking courses in the 6-week session.

All students are expected to spend time outside of class on assignments and background reading. Exams will take place at the end of each summer session.
