Live, Write, and Explore in Prague, Czech Republic
Follow in the footsteps of Franz Kafka and explore the role of dreams and dream imagery on the creative process while spending 24 nights in one of Europe’s most vibrant and historic cities.
"Creating work and forming friendships in such a historically rich city was incredibly satisfying. Living and learning in Prague was one of my most valuable experiences at Columbia.” -Piper Matlock, Poetry
Past Student Experiences
“The Prague program offered a break from routine. New experiences, new sights, and a class of fellow creatives fueled my creativity. Going abroad was one of the best decisions I could make.” -Sam Melby, FTV​
“Prague was one of the most inspirational experiences in my adult life. Kafka’s works and the Czech landscapes lifted my creative spirits and restored my confidence.” –Jacqueline Baker, Audio Arts & Acoustics
“The Creative Writing program in Prague was life-changing. Experiencing the city expanded my mind and me as a person. I’m grateful I went.” -Leon Borak, Illustration​
“Going to Prague opened my eyes to global culture and put many things in perspective. I wouldn’t have traded this trip for any other location.” -Brian Rosner, Game Art​
“Studying in Prague helped me grow as a student and a person. Collaborating with other writers while exploring the city gave me lasting memories and connections.” -Alicia Roque, Creative Writing
“I didn't go to Prague--Prague happened to me. I hiked up slippery cobblestones to the castle wall and looked down; I scrambled down to the bottom of the castle moat and looked up. It was vertigo of the best kind because it took me outside of myself and my perceived place in the world and infused it once again with beauty I thought only existed in fairy tales.” - Julia Plale, Fiction Writing
“I found a new community of voices and people that helped make the experiences we had there incredible. My writing perspective has shifted, and my writing and I are better for it. The city and the amazing course helped me grow in so many ways." -Nox Carmenate, MFA Creative Writing
“Going to Prague was one of the best decisions I've ever made. - David Roncskevitz, MFA Fiction Writing
