Charles University
The oldest university in central Europe, Charles University was founded in 1348 by Charles IV, the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia. An institution of major academic and cultural importance in the region since its founding, Charles University has endured the repression of both Nazi and Communist occupations. The appointment of new representatives of a free academic community was legalized in 1990, marking a new beginning of a systematic effort to remove the 40-year-old inheritance of deformation in the life of the university as an academic institution. Charles University has been a partner of The Fund for American Studies in sponsoring the American Institute on Political and Economic Systems since 1993.
Georgetown University
Founded in 1789 in Washington, DC, Georgetown University is the oldest Catholic institution of higher learning in the United States. Since its beginning, Georgetown has received international recognition as a school with a student body characterized by its religious pluralism. Today, more than 12,000 students from all 50 states and more than 100 countries come to Washington, DC to enroll in one of Georgetown University's five undergraduate schools, the graduate school, or professional schools of law and medicine. Despite its vibrant growth and development in the 20th century, Georgetown University is still committed to individual attention and learning embraced by the small academy that staked its claim on Washington's hilly riverbank more than 200 years ago.
