Charles University! |

Charles University was founded in 1348 by the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia Charles IV. It is located within the oldest part of Prague and occupies historical buildings all over the city centre or newer buildings on the periphery. The University of New Orleans has maintained a healthy partnership with Charles University, sending over 75 students there since 1996. We have two Faculties at Charles University that primarily accept our students, one of which is the Faculty of Social Sciences. The four original Faculties, (Theology, Law, Medicine and Arts), have multiplied into seventeen, with 42,000 students and 5,700 teaching and research staff. It maintains and develops bilateral links with over 170 universities throughout the world. Since 1990, the University has been actively involved in various EU educational and research programmes, but 1998 marked both the University's 650th anniversary as well as its entry into ERASMUS, with a steadily growing number of student and teacher exchanges. |

UNO's exchange agreement with Charles University is split between two faculties. This web page is dedicated to our exchange with the Faculty of Social Sciences. (Click here to go to our web page on the ECES Program at Charles University). Although the terms of the student exchange are identical, the administrative offices are separate and therefore the student application process and course availabilty are different. All students who wish to go on this exchange must first apply and be accepted to the UNO International Student Exchange Program (see our site for Outgoing students). Once accepted, students then complete the requirements to apply to the program at Charles University. |

Housing & Food: UNO's agreement with Charles University includes a housing/meal exchange. UNO students pay the current fees for housing at Pontchartrain Hall, including the $870 meal credit. This entitles students to a shared room in a dorm at Charles University and meals in the student cafeteria. |
