European Bachelor of Business Administration Degree in Prague (3-Year Program)

Earn a Czech-accredited Bc. degree with a focused, practical business education in English

The European-accredited Bachelor of Business Administration offered by University of New York in Prague (UNYP) is a three-year program accredited in the Czech Republic, designed to provide you with a strong business foundation and real-world experience through a required Professional Immersion Experience (PIE).

This program follows the same academic foundation as UNYP’s American-style degree during the first three years, offering a faster, more direct path to a bachelor’s qualification.

If you decide to extend your studies, you can switch into the Dual Degree pathway early in your program. This allows you to continue into a fourth year and earn an American bachelor’s degree from SUNY Empire State University alongside your Czech qualification.
