Curriculum
The University
of Houston-Victoria, along with its consortium partners, is
excited to announce our study abroad program in The Czech
Republic. Each year we will arrange for students to study in
the heart of one of the most exciting cities in the world.
- Each student will take one class and
receive three credit hours. Classes will operate on a seminar
style format with all students actively participating in
discussions with their professor. Class will be one week in
Houston and two weeks in The Czech Republic. Students enrolling in
a class will be provided with a syllabus before they leave
the United States. Term project, presentation, and
peer evaluation must
be completed for a student to receive a final grade.
- Although each class schedule will
ultimately rest with the professor of record, classes will
typically run Monday through Thursday.
Attendance at ALL class sessions for the FULL
CLASS PERIOD is expected. Absence in class is not
tolerated, and will result in your grade being lowered.

weeks) students will take
the course listed below.
