Experience Prague this summer in a unique educational environment with 100 students from more than 25 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the United States. The American Institute on Political and Economic Systems (AIPES) is an academic program designed to explore the political, economic and cultural issues of the world as it grows under democratic principles. AIPES embodies diversity and culture as its cornerstone to educating future leaders. Over 1500 alumni have attended AIPES since its founding in 1993.
Students gather in the historical and cultural capital of the Czech Republic to study the basic foundations of a free society. Students are encouraged to apply these concepts to the transitions already taking place in their home countries. Students from a wide range of nationalities, religions and ethnicities have a chance to interact, learn and share their experiences in ways that can benefit their educational and professional development.
American students are given an opportunity study abroad with their European/Central Asian counterparts comparing and contrasting languages, customs and cultures while forming freindships that can last a lifetime.
Students who complete AIPES graduate into a network of over 11,000 TFAS alumni who live in over 100 countries around the globe. Graduates of our eleven institutes have discovered this vast network opens doors never that have lead to life changing opportunities in various corners of the world.
Come join us for this once in a lifetime opportunity this summer!
