Summit Global Education

Common questions

Questions students and parents ask before applying.

Start with the answers that shape program choice: route, timing, courses, credit review, housing, support, cost, and when to ask for current session details.

Europe

Summer study abroad across Prague, London, Paris, Barcelona, and Athens.

What is included in the program cost?

Ask for current program pricing before making a budget. Summit expects program cost to include in-program housing, inter-city transportation during the program, and professional or cultural visits. International airfare to and from Europe is separate.

How will credit transfer back to my university?

The Europe program is academically anchored in Prague through UNYP, but transfer credit is ultimately reviewed by each student's home university. Students should request course materials early and confirm with an advisor, registrar, or study abroad office before relying on the credit for degree progress.

Where will students stay?

In-program housing is included. Exact housing details will be shared by city, but students should expect safe, comfortable shared student, university, or apartment-style housing selected for location, logistics, and program fit.

When are the Summer 2027 Europe session options?

The planned Summer 2027 student travel windows are A1: May 21-June 20, A2: May 21-June 26, A3: May 21-July 1, and B1: June 5-July 1, 2027. Request Info before using dates for flights, school approval, work schedules, or family plans.

Should I request information or apply?

Request information first if you still need route structure, course options, pricing, housing, dates, or credit-review materials. Students who already know the program fits their plans can start the application.

What kind of support will students have abroad?

Students travel with structured support, clear expectations, faculty guidance, and guided group logistics. Before committing, ask for the safety, communication, housing, and emergency information that applies to the session.

Who is the Europe program for?

The Europe program is for college students who want a credit-bearing summer program with coursework, company and institutional visits, cultural experiences, and guided travel through Europe. It can fit students in business, communication, social science, general education, and related majors.

Brazil

Winter break / J-term study abroad in Sao Paulo, Paraty / Green Coast, and Rio de Janeiro.

What courses does Brazil include?

Brazil pairs business coursework with Intensive Portuguese Language and Brazilian Culture. Request the course materials your home university needs before relying on the credit for degree progress.

How would Brazil credit transfer?

Brazil's academic host is ESPM, and each home university reviews transfer credit. Request course materials, credit values, and transcript wording early so an advisor, registrar, or study abroad office can review the fit.

Where will students stay in Brazil?

Brazil housing is organized city by city across Sao Paulo, Paraty / Green Coast, and Rio de Janeiro. Request Info for lodging, rooming, neighborhood, commute, and support information.

Should I request information about Brazil now?

Yes, especially if winter break timing, credit approval, or budget planning affects your decision. Ask for dates, route structure, ESPM course materials, housing, pricing, and application support.

What is the Brazil route?

The Brazil route begins in Sao Paulo, pauses in Paraty / Green Coast around New Year's, and continues to Rio de Janeiro for most coursework. Request Info for dates, transportation, visits, housing, and ESPM course context.

When does the Brazil program run?

Brazil runs during U.S. winter break / J-term, which is summer in Brazil. It is especially relevant for students whose schools have longer winter breaks. Request Info for program dates before using the program for school, travel, work, or family plans.
