Multi-City, Faculty-Led Study Abroad

Academic travel programs designed to study business, culture, and society through comparison across places.
  • Comparative by Design: Programs move through multiple cities, allowing students to examine how institutions, organizations, and social norms differ across contexts, rather than studying a single location in isolation.
  • Faculty-Led Throughout: Professors travel with students, teach across locations, and lead regular debrief sessions that connect site visits and lived experience directly to course frameworks and learning outcomes.
  • Travel as Curriculum: Cities are selected for their academic relevance. Professional visits, cultural engagement, and local context are integrated into coursework as assessed components, not optional add-ons.
  • Flexible Academic Pathways: Students enroll in credit-bearing courses aligned with business, social science, communication, and general education requirements. Not all students take business courses, but all engage with place-based analysis.
  • Structured, Not Touristic: This is not a single-campus program with excursions on the side. The program itself is an academic journey, with mobility intentionally built into the learning model.
  • University-Aligned and Credit-Bearing: Courses are delivered in partnership with accredited universities and designed for straightforward credit transfer approval.

Hear from our students:

“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!”
