"When you have it on your CV, employers can see an American education and are impressed. While studying there, I learned how to prioritize. I learned how to present in English with confidence and sell myself to my managers. I was like a partner with my professors, not just a student."
Students enrolled in an American bachelor’s degree program at UNYP who choose to major in Business Administration, Communication & Media, International & Economic Relations, or Psychology have the opportunity to take the Czech state exams upon completing their program. Students who pass these exams receive dual degrees: an American degree from the State University of New York, Empire State University, and a European degree from UNYP.
The average adult now spends over 11 hours per day using various forms of communication media—more time than we spend working, sleeping, or engaging in any other activity. Even when we’re not sleeping, much of our time is devoted to other forms of communication. In recent years, entire industries have emerged to create, distribute, regulate, and enhance this communication.
