Description

How about spending your summer focusing on fun and earning college credits at the same time? Magical views of Charles Bridge, local jazz clubs, excellent faculty, medieval cities. Experience Prague!

The time is now to make your summer plans! Why not make it a valuable experience in a beautiful city with tons to do and see? ESAC hosts a four week study abroad program in July and August, located in Prague, Czech Republic with an optional weekend excursion to Vienna, Austria. This program is a great bargain for your hard earned cash and includes more than you would ever dream of including great classes with fun professors and local experts to show you all the hidden secrets of the City of 100 Spires.

Highlights

A focus on fun! Visit a brewery, climb a mountain, explore a medieval castle, meet business people and local students, sip coffee in a hidden cafe, study the European Union by actually being there, catch a glimpse of Czech life from a river boat ride down the Vltava-the choice is yours.

A typical day would look something like this: Class will be held in the morning in a modern classroom facility, followed by lunch and afternoon site visit to Microsoft to listen to a senior level Microsoft manager talk about marketing strategies in Eastern Europe, or a field trip to gallery, church etc.. Your evening may consist of a picnic in the park with you and your friends and their guitars or you might sneak off to the opera for mere pennies. The next day you might be free to explore Prague or join a small group to visit a crystal factory or museum. Some site visits are scheduled, while others will be arranged based upon an individual student's interest.
