Central European University

Central European University (CEU; German: Zentraleuropäische Universität, Hungarian: Közép-európai Egyetem) is a private research university accredited in Hungary, Austria, and the United States, with campuses in Vienna and Budapest. The university is known for its highly selective and intensive programs in the social sciences and humanities, low student-faculty ratio, and international student body. A central tenet of the university's mission is the promotion of open societies, a result of its close association with the Open Society Foundations. CEU is one of ten members comprising the CIVICA Alliance, a group of prestigious European higher education institutions in the social sciences, humanities, business management and public policy, such as Sciences Po (France), The London School of Economics and Political Science (UK), Bocconi University (Italy) and the Stockholm School of Economics (Sweden)
