About the United States

Where to Begin

For general information about the United States, it might be a good idea to start with USA.gov or Information USA, where you will find an authoritative resource for foreign audiences seeking information about American society, political processes, official U.S. policies and culture.

To learn about opportunities for Czech citizens to study abroad in the United States, please visit the Fulbright Commission in the Czech Republic. In addition to providing information about Fulbright grants, the Commission's office in Prague offers an Educational Advisory Service for students wishing to pursue their education in the United States.

A gateway site for resources on American Studies is provided by the U.S. Department of State's Study of the U.S. Branch.

To find information about doing business in the United States, please visit the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. For information about working with American businesses in the Czech Republic, visit the American Chamber of Commerce in the Czech Republic.

You can also find a lot about America at USINFO - Student Corner pages.

You can also go for "America in Your Pocket", a brochure created by the American Center (in Czech, pdf file, 1.5 MB)
