Spring Study Abroad Programs in Czech Republic

I took an architecture and a holocaust class during the summer and it was an incredible experience. I went by so fast and I wished I would have done a semester. One of the coolest things we did was tour the Franz Ferdinand's estate. The professors were so kind and passionate, you could tell they want to be there and the program felt like a family.

During my time with IFSA in the Tech Career Accelerator program I learned a lot about the tech industry in Prague and in the EU as well as Czech culture. The team organizing the IFSA in Prague was very welcoming and the excursions were very fun. Overall I loved my time in Prague and would do it again!

Studying abroad in Prague was the best experience of my life. I made lifelong friends, explored incredible places, and grew so much as a person. Every day felt like an adventure, and I will cherish those months forever.

Highly recommend. The program is smaller (~100 students), class sizes are great, and you take classes in the attic of a mansion in a public park. The TCA challenge project is a surprisingly decent opportunity to learn and build a meaningful software product for a partner company. The attendance policy is reasonable, and classes are not hard. The program staff are amazing, super helpful, and do a great job planning 2-3 free activities a week. Prague is an amazing city as a home base; it's cheaper, very walkable, beautiful, and lively.

Prague is a really cool city: great public transport, cheap, lots to do. If you like to travel, you can see so much during your time here both through flights and buses. IFSA TCA is also a great way to boost your resume if you major in CS!

I absolutely loved my time abroad. I would do it over and over again if I could. Our program leaders were amazing and always had a local excursion for us to do. The city was amazing, the classes were good, the professors were great, and again(!) the program leaders were so so amazing. The longer weekend trips were definitely worth it and the spring break was the perfect amount of time. The only downside is that we don't have a ton of immersion or interactions with other students. The school isn't physically part of another university so we don't have the opportunity to interact with non-USAC students automatically. There are opportunities to connect with the community and other students if you seek them out yourself, but it's not built into the program. Otherwise, I have zero complaints! I love the housing (it's in great parts of the city and super accessible and good), everyone is very helpful and welcoming, and it's a great experience.

Really excellent time, was very immersed. Went on a lot of great trips. Could not recommend enough big thanks to Dáša and Jan. I love Prague one day I shall return. Banger kamo… much love much gratitude.

I studied abroad in Prague, Czech republic, with ISA in Fall, 2025. I had an amazing time in Prague, the program and its staff were amazing and went above and beyond to give us a good experience in their country. ISA provided us with amazing housing, an apartment close to the city center, and free transportation passes so that we could go all around the city for free! We were also provided with any resources we could need, medical, academic, etc. I felt very comfortable with the staff and could tell that they wanted very much for everyone to just have the best time possible. In addition to the facilities we were provided, we had the opportunity to explore other parts of the continent, with hotels, food, tours and most fun of all getting to be with the rest of the program members and friends. The trips, both day and overnight were so fun and completely paid for. I would reccomend going in your program provides these events. My favorite places events that ISA created were, Vienna, Thanksgiving Dinner, Cesky Krumlov and Berlin :) I also had a great school Anglo american university; this school was very warm and welcoming, with small classes and lots of club events and even a garden full of peacocks in the back of the school it was very easy to make friends, even more so than my time at my home university. I am forever grateful to all of the ISA's staff; Daniela, Lucie, Yachim, and Tomas were so kind and helpful, I felt like they werent just staff but friends too. Im so happy that I got to experince this study abroad in Prague, and will forever miss the city, experiences and all of the friends i made there. I highly reccomend this program to everyone, and think that they should take full atvantage of what is offered, make as many friends as possible, make time both to travel and to appreciate the country they are in, and Cafe 80's, Cafe Alchimista, U sudu, U fleku, and eat beef goulash. This experience, made me grow and I came back happier, more confident and more open to the world and people around me :)

I had an incredible time studying abroad and doing an internship with AIFS in Prague during the autumn 2025 semester. The program directors are incredibly helpful and set up countless activities for students to take part in. Museums, jazz clubs, parks, city tours, and more. The internship AIFS set me up with (a media/journalism related internship) was an incredible experience, and I am still doing some freelance work for them, despite being back in the U.S. The professors and courses at Charles are interesting and engaging, but the workload is not too difficult, so you still have time to enjoy Prague. And, of course, the friendships I made will last a lifetime. Prague is truly one of the best cities in Europe. I yearn to return. Take a chance and study abroad in Prague with AIFS!

This program was the perfect blend of having independence to explore the country and structured group activities. I really enjoyed the course and I liked that although it was a lot of content to cover, the class was not all consuming; there was plenty of time each day to explore the city. The community of USAC students was really supportive and we all stuck together to make meaningful connections.

The USAC staff in Prague were amazing and so helpful. Also, Prague itself was an experience of a lifetime and I want to go back as soon as I can. You are fully immersed in the city life and there are endless activities and exciting things to see.

I studied abroad in Prague for the second summer session during 2025, and it was an unforgettable experience. Prague is an absolutely gorgeous city and USAC gave me the chance to live in it for a period of time. The class I took (Architecture) took us to so many museums, churches, castles, and art galleries, most of which I probably wouldn’t have known about if not for the class. The professor, Milan, was so kind and knowledgeable, and so was every staff there (like Dasa and Jan.) If you decide to study in gorgeous Prague, you MUST do the Budapest/Vienna tour. It was a truly amazing trip and I couldn’t recommend it enough.

CIEE makes the study abroad experience super accessible for people that may have thought they would not study abroad, and I have very much enjoyed my experience on this program! The planned trips and activities SERIOUSLY enhance the program, and I have gotten so many more opportunities through those sign ups.

When I decided I wanted to go abroad, I was nervous about a lot of things. First off, I was scared that when I went abroad I would have to settle for a location I did not want to be in because I needed my credits to transfer over. Luckily AIFS had a program in a wonderful city with a bunch of classes that would transfer back to my home university super well. When I chose this program, I was overjoyed but nervous about living in a homestay. When I got there I was happily surprised to find that my host family was amazing and provided me with an experience I would not have been able to have if I had been in a dorm/apt. The people that I met in the program were some of the coolest people I have ever known and am happy to call them my friends to this day. If you are looking for a great program in Paris where you have the freedom to meet new people, travel, and find yourself in a new place, I would 100% recommend this to you!

I would recommend CIEE because it was such a great experience, I'm more than happy I got to experience and participate in this program. The activities offered every week and the trips we get to go on were so much fun and I feel very lucky I got to be apart of it.

I had an immersive experience in a foreign country. I found the staff members to be helpful and friendly. I think Prague is a place everyone should visit for a unique cultural shock. I miss it so much and will definitely visit again.

I would likely recommend being this program, it definitely offers a lot, like the weekly activities and pre paid for trips we are able to go on. I think the program is structured very well and I really love all my professors and the staff is extremely helpful

I knew studying abroad in college with something that I wanted to do. I had never been to Prague before coming here and now I find myself recommending it all the time. It was an absolutely incredible experience and I really appreciate it that everybody at USAC helped with immersion, navigation, and adjusting. I felt really supported and the program helped a lot with getting to know the area. I enjoyed my classes, the people, and the world around me. Studying abroad was absolutely incredible .

I chose AIFS because of their unique program that allowed me to take Business classes at a university in a large city. Because I go to a small liberal arts college, I was having difficulty finding courses I was actually interested in that were in cities that I knew I wanted to live in for 3 months. After searching for weeks, I stumbled across the Central European Studies in Prague at the Prague University of Economics and Business (VŠE). I found classes that fulfilled my marketing, finance, and international relations credit without needing to beg my advisors to accept them (this is basically unheard of in my business department). I had someone answering my questions before applying, before departure, and when I got there. My program had two people that lived in Prague and they provided everything from recommendations of coffee and food (including a coffee crawl throughout Prague), buying tickets for the ballet and theater, and simply having a couch for us to crash on between classes if we needed a familiar face. I lived in a dorm in central Prague that was connected to Charles University, another partnered university. My specific dorm had 4 single rooms with a shared bathroom and kitchenette. Living in a dorm, I had access to free washers and one dryer (basically unheard of in Europe), but everyone air-dried their clothes (which I still now do in the US). Because this dorm is meant for students, they also provided clean bedding every 2 weeks. I had access to excursions with AIFS as well as Charles University where I went on day trips to Pilsen and toured the Pilsner Urquell beer factory and toured a communist camp with a seasoned tour guide. This was one of the first times I was connected with students all across the country. My university abroad attracts Czech students and students on Eramus (European students studying at different universities in Europe). While I loved most of my classes, it took me a while to get used to the style of teaching (lectures, independent study) and I didn't take part in the clubs and other things as much as I could've (but I think that is because I was really satisfied with what I was doing independently and with AIFS). Not only did I make friends from the US that I would have never met, I now have friends that are from all over the world. Because of this program, I was able to travel to places I never thought of, such as driving ATVs in Morocco to learn how to taste wine at a 30-year old family-run winery. I learned how to travel and gained confidence and excitement to continue feeding my travel bug. I’d recommend AIFS Abroad for students looking for a program that provides help and assistance without sacrificing one’s own independence and adventures.

I think that this program is well-organized, and more generally, I greatly enjoyed my time in Prague. I liked the ability to take classes at Charles and at CIEE and I found the staff to be supportive and quick to resolve any issues.
