The study of literature not only exercises our skills of interpretation and critical thinking, but also gives us access to the history and ideas that have shaped our world.
Take this unique opportunity to study in Central Europe with the University of New York in Prague´s and the State University of New York, Empire State College’s talented American and international English language and literature instructors. The Czech Republic’s literary history spans languages, genres, and centuries, and includes such notables as Karel Čapek, Franz Kafka, Milan Kundera, and Bohumil Hrabal. Appropriately, the program includes a significant emphasis on comparative world literature. It offers courses that foster competency in critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, cross-cultural understanding, and literacy. A distinctly global focus includes (but is not limited to) works by African-American, North American, Caribbean, and Latin American authors.
