CEU is an American graduate university with a focus on the social
sciences and the humanities, accredited both in the United States
and in Hungary, and located in Budapest, in the heart of Europe.
The university is oriented to interdisciplinary research on, and
the study of, social change and the policy implications of transition
to open societies. In addition, emphasis is placed on European Union
affairs, as well as on the special features of non-Western democracies.
 Through
their international experience at CEU, and exposure to a multitude
of different-and sometimes opposing-points of view, students at
this university develop a deep understanding of the intellectual
and practical challenges arising along the shifting boundary between
the local and the universal. They leave CEU with the knowledge and
skills that enable them to pursue careers in academia, government
and the non-governmental sector, international organizations and
research institutes, missions of the United Nations, as well as
business at the national and the international level.
Today CEU graduates reside in more than 80 countries, across all
continents. Among them there are ministers and ambassadors, professors
and scientists, research analysts, lawyers and human rights activists,
CEOs and managers. They share a common interest in critical reflection
and social engagement, and contribute to the university's mission
to be in the service of pressing and challenging social needs.
I welcome you to this innovative and dynamic community.
Your
Yehuda Elkana
