Have you been thinking about completing your BA or MA degree abroad, but you're not sure how to do it? Would you like to save thousands on student loans and earn an American degree abroad? Our Full-Degree Transition Program might be just what you're looking for.
Along with the process of globalization, education has become more global. Now there are so many opportunities to earn American degrees abroad. That is why we have developed our transition program, where we help students enroll in the right BA/MA program and assist them with settling in the Czech Republic. As part of the program, students study abroad with us for the first year and then continue with the program on their own. The program is designed to help ease the students' transition to a full-degree program.
This program takes place at the University of New York in Prague (UNYP), which offers fully accredited American BA and MA degrees.
