By combining the strength of our Academic Team and management with the academic strength of institutions anchored in the local culture, CEA provides programs that serve as the model for U.S.-European higher education.

CEA is proud to name Anglo-American University as its first Global Alliance. Accredited by the Accreditation Commission of the Czech Republic, AAU’s breadth of curriculum, instruction in English, interactive classes and integration of students from around the world in the same classroom confirm AAU as the ideal choice for the more serious study abroad student.
