Program Overview
The KIIS Prague program is located in one of the most popular spots of Europe. Prague–a UNESCO World Heritage site–is justly seen as one of the most spectacular world capitals noted for its arts, music, literature, and theater. The Prague program includes a four-day trip to southern Bohemia and a one-day excursion to the Nazi concentration camp in Terezin as well as numerous excursions to various sites in Prague. Located in the “heart of Europe,” Prague provides an ideal location for further explorations. Two long weekends are set aside to allow for independent travel throughout Europe.
All KIIS course credit is awarded by Western Kentucky University. Prior to your KIIS program, please speak with your home campus academic advisor and/or study abroad office to determine course equivalencies. Grades will be transferred to your home institution in mid-August after the completion of the program. Course offerings are subject to change according to enrollment. For more information, visit Transcripts & Grades.
Program Excursions
Students who do not wish to travel internationally are encouraged to explore other sites in the vicinity of Prague. One of the most popular is a medieval mining town of Kutna Hora with its famous ossuary, Gothic church and silver mines.
Terezin and Lidice excursion deals with a dark, WWII, history of the Czech Republic.This one-day bus excursion visits first the Terezin (Theresienstadt) concentration camp, also referred to as Theresienstadt ghetto, which was established by the SS in German-occupied Czechoslovakia.
The students will have the opportunity they as a group to visit the world-famous Prague Jewish Quarter. This is one of the best preserved collections of synagogues in the whole Europe, documenting the history of Jews in the central Europe before the Holocaust.
The four day bus excursion to southern Bohemia is everybody’s favorite. During the trip the group visits sites important to general understanding of Czech history and culture. These include communist labor camp memorial, medieval castle (Orlik), and one of the breweries for which Czech Republic is so famous.
The first organized cultural experience is a walk tour through the historic center of Prague introducing all of the essential sites. This walking tour culminates with a welcome dinner. The following day as the visits to the Prague castle.

Student Voices
“The CDI study abroad program in Prague is a culturally immersive experience in a beautiful culture, all the while learning about your future career as a Speech-Language Pathologist. I believe the experience helped me through the application process for graduate school. How many future SLPs can say they studied Communication Disorders in another country?”
- Hannah, Prague
“Studying CDI in Prague was the best experience. It was so cool to see the different culture of the same profession. Megan and ZB are the best too. Her knowledge of CDI and his knowledge of and connections in Prague made for a very educational experience in an incredible city. Studying CDI in Prague was without a doubt one of the highlights of my educational experience.”
- Bobbie, Prague
“Traveling to Prague opened my eyes culturally. The city is breathtaking and there is so much to learn and explore. I also love that Prague is centrally located and offers convenience for traveling around Europe. I never once felt unsafe the entire time that I studied abroad in Prague."
- Kate, Prague
“Going to Prague has been the best experience of my life, I met amazing people here, Prague claims the best memories I've ever had.”
- Gerik, Prague
"A study abroad trip broadens your view in a way that is increasingly important in the context of our current global and national culture, enabling you to take a step towards becoming a better global citizen and more inspired life-long learner. My trip to Prague, Czech Republic, paired inspiring art and architecture, food, and beautiful scenery, with rich but heavy walks through sites marked by the tragic footprint of Nazi and Communist rule."
