University Credit Courses and Continuing Education

The best thing I have ever experienced! - 2007 Participant

The Lessing Institute offers a summer study program in Prague, Czech Republic which promotes understanding of, and respect for, humanity's cultural, political and social diversity. We aim to foster in our students a deep appreciation for the breadth and scope of human knowledge, and we encourage our students to develop a comparative approach to their inquiry. On a more pragmatic level, the Lessing Institute sets out to equip its students with the kinds of critical and analytical thinking skills needed in a rapidly globalizing world.

The Lessing Institute's Prague Summer Program is an ideal choice for students who would like to combine a fun and exciting summer trip with a semester of credit  courses designed for experience-driven learning in one of the most culturally-rich cities in the heart of Europe.

We have postponed the 2008 Summer Program and will resume in 2009. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
