Creative Writing Summer in Prague
May 22-June 22, 2020
The Creative Writing Summer in Prague program offers students the opportunity to live as writers abroad in one of Europe’s most spellbinding cities. Trace the steps of Kafka as you navigate the narrow cobblestone streets. Live, study, and create amid Prague's Gothic elegance and contemporary artistic atmosphere. Tours and field trips complement the course and students are allowed ample independent time to explore the city and surrounding regions and pursue their own stories.
The Prague study program is open to all Columbia majors, both undergrad and graduate-level. Global Awareness credit applies.
