Planned route

A working city sequence under final confirmation.

The current Europe route is being planned around Barcelona, Paris, Prague, and Athens. Final order, city-specific visits, and housing details will be published after confirmation.

Planned destination

Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona gives the Europe route a Mediterranean lens for business, design, tourism, trade, urban identity, and regional culture.

  • Use the city to ask how global business, local identity, tourism, and design shape a major European destination.
  • Prepare field notes around brands, neighborhoods, public space, and the everyday context organizations operate inside.
  • Begin comparing how business culture changes from one European city to the next.

Planned destination

Paris, France

Paris adds a major European capital where students can study business, culture, institutions, global brands, public life, and the relationship between prestige and daily urban systems.

  • Connect global brand, cultural, and institutional examples to international business questions.
  • Look at how regulation, public institutions, arts, culture, and commerce interact in a major European city.
  • Compare Paris with Barcelona as students move from one market and cultural context to another.

Planned destination

Prague, Czech Republic

Prague is the planned academic anchor for the Europe route through University of New York in Prague, known as UNYP, and should be treated as the program's academic spine.

  • Study with Prague as the academic base for connecting coursework, credit, and field learning.
  • Explore Central European business, communication, and institutional context inside the European Union.
  • Use faculty-led debriefs and assignments to connect city observations to course concepts.

Planned destination

Athens, Greece

Athens adds a southeastern European and Mediterranean context for institutions, history, tourism, civic life, and business culture.

  • Study how history, public life, tourism, and modern business context overlap in a Mediterranean capital.
  • Compare Athens with other route cities to understand how organizations operate across different European contexts.
  • Use final route reflections to synthesize field notes, coursework, and cross-cultural observations.

Housing

Included Program Housing

Planned Europe route cities

In-program housing is included and should be selected for safety, comfort, location logic, and fit with the academic travel model. Exact housing details will be confirmed by city before students commit.

  • Students should expect shared student, university, or apartment-style housing depending on the city and final logistics.
  • Housing should support reasonable access to class meetings, group programming, and city-based field learning.
  • Final city-by-city housing details, rooming expectations, and commute information should be reviewed before students apply or commit.

Faculty

Faculty context turns travel into field learning.

Faculty-guided academic travel

UNYP And Home University Preapproval

The planned Europe program is academically anchored in Prague through University of New York in Prague, known as UNYP. Students should still confirm how any Summit coursework will transfer with their own home institution before relying on the credit for degree progress.

  1. 1 Review the course title, credit value, syllabus, grading model, and transcript details when final materials are available.
  2. 2 Share course materials with the home university advisor, registrar, study abroad office, or transfer-credit office.
  3. 3 Ask how the course will apply toward major, minor, general education, elective, or graduation requirements.
  4. 4 Keep written confirmation from the home institution before committing to transfer-credit assumptions.

FAQs

How will credit transfer back to my university? +

The planned 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.

Who is this Europe program designed for? +

The program is designed for college students interested in international business, cross-cultural learning, and a guided academic travel experience in Europe. It should be especially relevant for students who want business credit, elective credit, or a practical way to connect coursework with cities, companies, culture, and institutions.

Where will students stay? +

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

What is included in the program cost? +

Final pricing is not ready for hard public copy yet. The planned program-price boundary includes in-program housing, inter-city transportation during the program, and professional or cultural visits. International airfare to and from Europe is separate.

What kind of support will students have abroad? +

Summit designs programs with structured support, clear expectations, faculty context, and guided group logistics. Final safety and emergency process details should be reviewed before students commit, but the program should not feel like independent travel around a course.

Should I request information or apply? +

Request Info is the best first step while final route, course, price, housing, and date details are being confirmed. Students who already know they want to move forward can also start the application through the Summit Edu enrollment center.
