The Ball State University Prague Center is located in Prague, the breathtaking capital of the Czech Republic. The region has overcome communism and blossomed into a high-tech business gateway to Central Europe. People flock to Prague to hear the music, to see the architecture, and to learn about its rich history—and now, university students will go as part of the Ball State’s newest study abroad program.
Education and Experience
Miller College of Business, along with the Rinker Center for International Programs, proudly introduces Prague Center. The first session of Prague Center will run August 20 to December 15, 2010, and includes:
- an orientation week
- 16 weeks of instruction
- weekly cultural excursions
- a midterm break to allow for European travel
Directed by a Miller College of Business faculty member, the center will offer classes in business as well as electives that meet Ball State’s core requirements, taught by Ball State faculty and local experts. Classroom instruction will be three days per week with a cultural excursion midweek. A long weekend allows students time to travel to other European countries such as Germany, Poland, Austria, and Switzerland.
Logistics
The investment you make in studying abroad won’t go unnoticed by future employers. Tuition and fees for one semester, air travel, housing and meals, and cultural excursions are all included in the cost of $13,500 ($10,572 plus $2,928 tuition*). Housing will be on the campus of Charles University, just minutes from Prague Castle. Approximately 20 students will be accepted for Prague Center—all majors from any university are welcome.
* Tuition is an estimate for 12 credit hours. Actual tuition will be based on the off-campus cost per hour multiplied by the number of hours enrolled (a minimum of 12 hours must be taken). This rate is the same for in-state and out-of-state students.
