Your required courseload will consist of a minimum of five area studies courses. All area studies courses are taught in English. You will take a minimum of three CIEE courses, and may be able to enroll in up to six credits outside of CIEE courses at FAMU or Charles University in courses for international students, taught in English.

Housing Description
There are various different types of housing available on this program. Students can choose from a homestay, CIEE-administered apartments, or CIEEadministered residences. Homestays are ideal for the student who is seeking to live and learn more like a local, and do include breakfast and dinner on the family's schedule. The CIEE apartments are ideal for the student who wants to live with other students on the program, but would like to live with a local buddy. The CIEE residences are ideal for the student who would feel more comfortable living with other students on the program only. No meals are included in either the CIEE apartments or the CIEE residences.
