Study Abroad with Summit Global Education
|
Multi-city, faculty-led study abroad programs that combine academic credit with real-world exploration of innovation, business, culture and society.
Summit Global Education offers multi-city study abroad programs for students who want to understand how innovation, business, and culture intersect in different global settings. Over several weeks, you and your professors will move through cities chosen for their cultural depth, economic vitality, and role as regional hubs. In each location, you’ll visit companies and institutions, meet with professionals shaping their fields, and explore the neighborhoods that give each city its character. Every stop offers a new perspective. One week you might tour a global company adapting to shifting markets, the next you could meet with entrepreneurs testing new technologies, and later you might see how cultural heritage fuels creative industries. Along the way, there’s time to experience each city’s food, music, and street life — not as a tourist rushing through, but as someone paying attention to how people live, work, and connect. These moments outside the classroom often spark the questions and insights that shape your learning. |

Engaging Courses:
At Summit Global Education, learning extends far beyond the classroom. Our courses are designed to blend rigorous academic content with direct engagement in the cities we visit. Classroom discussions are paired with field experiences that challenge students to think critically about leadership, communication, innovation, and cross-cultural teamwork.
Taught by a multinational faculty, classes encourage deep analysis of how culture shapes professional practice and decision-making. Delivered both on-campus and throughout the travel phase, each course integrates the institutions, companies, and communities students encounter — making every city a living case study in how ideas are developed, adapted, and shared across cultures. |
Academic Credits:Summit Global Education ensures your study abroad experience fits your academic and career goals. Students can earn up to 6 transferable credits through partnerships with respected universities such as ESPM (Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing) in Brazil and UNYP (University of New York in Prague) in Europe. By enrolling officially with our partner institutions, students gain access to rigorous, internationally recognized coursework. Upon completion, grades and transcripts are issued directly by the host university, ensuring a smooth credit transfer to your home institution. These credits keep you on track academically while adding internationally relevant skills and perspectives to your academic record.

Professional & Cultural Visits
At Summit Global Education, the world becomes your classroom. Our programs include structured visits to startups, small-tech firms, and established companies, offering firsthand insight into how organizations operate in different cultural and economic contexts. These experiences are paired with curated cultural explorations — from historic sites and museums to local festivals and neighborhood markets.
Professional and cultural visits are built into the syllabus, with preparatory briefings and follow-up discussions that link each visit to course themes. Whether you’re hearing from a product team in Berlin, walking through a creative district in Barcelona, or learning from social entrepreneurs in São Paulo, you’re connecting academic theory to the realities of innovation and collaboration in diverse environments. These visits broaden your perspective and strengthen the skills you’ll need in an interconnected, innovation-driven world. |
Photos & Testimonials:
"There is no doubt that I would recommend the Summit Program. I thought the flow of the program as perfect, not too overwhelming but always something to do. It’s important to find that balance in a study abroad program and I think Summit has managed to do so. I truly believe this is one of the best programs out there. Thanks again!”
