Focus: Students taking this themed inquiry have the opportunity to study the history, politics, and culture of Central and Eastern Europe both at Chapman and at the Anglo-American University in Prague.* This multi-ethnic region, encompassing Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and the former Soviet Union, was the backdrop for the emergence of Communism and National Socialism, two World Wars and the Cold War, dramatic revolutions in the arts, and the reemergence of nationalist debates in the post-Communist era.
*Chapman University offers free airfare to students who choose to study abroad at AAU. For more information, please contact the Center for Global Education.
