Summit Global Education

Who we are

About Summit Global Education

Founded in 2011, Summit Global Education runs faculty-led, multi-city study abroad programs in Europe and Brazil. Students earn academic credit while studying business, culture, communication, and society in the cities, classrooms, companies, and cultural settings they visit.

Academic travel

Students study, travel, and discuss what they see.

Summit programs are built for students who want study abroad to feel academic and vivid at the same time: course materials for school review, city and visit experiences to learn from, and faculty guidance throughout the route.

Credit students can discuss with their school

Programs are built around course titles, credit values, academic partners, and materials students can bring to advisors.

Faculty guide the program from city to city

Faculty guide class meetings, visits, discussions, assignments, and written work so travel supports the course.

Cities with academic purpose

Each stop gives students something to study: organizations, institutions, public life, cultural settings, or daily city routines.

Experience students can explain later

Students return with examples from class, visits, and travel days that make the academic work easier to describe.

Summit in practice

Students learn through classrooms, visits, and guided travel.

Students move through the city with course themes in mind, then return to class with examples they can discuss.

Class time

Class meetings stay central

Students still have class time, assignments, and faculty guidance while the program moves through new settings.

Guided visits

Visits give students examples to discuss

Institutional and professional settings give students observations they can use in assignments and advisor conversations.

Summit approach

A serious program should still feel alive.

Students get credit-bearing coursework and the energy of being abroad in the same program. They attend class, move through cities with a cohort, visit professional and cultural settings, and talk through what they observed with faculty.

That structure gives students, parents, and advisors something concrete to evaluate: where the route goes, what the course covers, how credit review may work, and what support is in place before a student applies.
