Summit Global Education Summer and winter programs in Europe and Brazil
Multi-city, faculty-led programs that combine academic credit with real-world exploration of business, culture and society.
Run in partnership with universities since 2011.
Academic travel since 2011
Travel through multiple cities instead of spending the entire program in one place.
Complete credit-bearing coursework connected to professional visits, cultural experiences, and faculty-led discussion.
Travel with classmates and faculty as part of an organized group experience.
The student experience
Summit students travel each route together, taking part in classes, professional and cultural visits, and time in each city. Those shared experiences give the group common ground for discussion and comparison throughout the program.
Available programs
Study business, culture, and Portuguese language through Brazil: arrive in Sao Paulo, pause in Paraty / Green Coast around New Year's, and continue to Rio de Janeiro for most coursework.

"There is no doubt that I would recommend the Summit Program. I thought the flow of the program was perfect, not too overwhelming but always something to do. It is important to find that balance in a study abroad program, and I think Summit has managed to do so."
Destinations
Summit routes put coursework next to company visits, cultural sites, institutions, neighborhoods, and everyday routines. Professional and cultural visits become examples students can discuss, write about, and explain later.

What each place adds
