Central European Studies

WARSAW, POLAND

Program Overview

The capital of Poland is one of Europe’s most dynamic cities, filled with cultural, political, and economic institutions. It’s the perfect place to explore the history, politics, literature, and culture of Central Europe and learn to speak Polish. Students select from courses taught in either English or Polish at our partner school, SGH Warsaw School of Economics as well as CIEE Warsaw, which is conveniently located on the campus of SGH.

All courses are complemented with CIEE co-curricular activities and excursions beyond the city to enhance classroom learning and provide intercultural understanding.
