About the Program
The Central and Eastern European Studies Program (CESP) at Vysoka Skola Ekonomicka - Vpraze (VSE) (University of Economics - Prague) was founded in 1992 as a one or two semester program taught in English for students at the undergraduate level.  A summer version is offered too. The objective of the program is to provide instruction in the economies, societies, and cultures of central and eastern European countries for international students. This program offers the opportunity to experience the exciting and dynamic conditions in central Europe with professional insight and instruction by native Czech citizens. The international student mix leads to a truly multicultural experience.

The Czech Republic is rich in history and culture. Located in the center of Europe, it links east and west both geographically and culturally. Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic and is an important economic and cultural center. Located on the Vltava River, Prague is considered one of the most beautiful capitals of Europe. The city exhibits buildings of several architectural styles, including Roman, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque.

Prague has been the home to kings, musicians, writers, and artists, including Kafka, Kundera, Mozart, and Smetana. The city hosts many cultural events and performances, including the annual Prague spring festival, which lasts the entire month of May. The central location of the Czech Republic makes it easy to travel to other European countries.  Like all of Europe, Prague has an excellent public transportation system and offers student fares.
