The study abroad experience will enhance your employment potential in an increasingly competitive job market. Employers are looking for individuals who demonstrate self-confidence, independence, global awareness, and knowledge of a multicultural world. The CESP was founded in 1992 as an optional one or two-semester program taught in English for students at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The objective of the program is to provide instruction in the economies, societies, and cultures of central and eastern European countries for international students. The international student mix leads to a truly multicultural experience.
Most courses are offered both semesters, so the single semester student has a wide range of choices.
CSU students are required to take at least four courses per semester. Classes are held at the VSE campus and are conducted in English by accredited professional teachers and business persons. During the week-long orientation, there is a Czech and Slovak history seminar and a Czech language class. For each course you take, you will be provided with a binder containing all relevant study material. CESP maintains a library of English language books related to course topics.
