Program Overview

Through direct enrollment at the most prestigious university of Prague, and internships with local media organizations and firms, this program will allow you to develop a deeper literacy about global communication trends, while analyzing and articulating the complexities of contemporary life in the Czech Republic. Prague's fast-paced and ever-evolving media landscape makes it an ideal place to learn about global communication trends.

Students are required to participate in a CIEE internship that includes a seminar and 7-10 hours of weekly on-site work in an internship placement. Of the remaining four courses, two must be core courses focusing on media, communication, or journalism (chosen from CIEE CNMJ-focused courses, FAMU, and/or Charles University courses, and two courses consist of elective courses chosen from CIEE, FAMU, and/or Charles University course offerings.
