Multi-City Traveling Study Abroad Programs
Summit is not your typical study abroad experience. Our summer program blends academic learning with real-world exploration, bringing students face-to-face with the innovators shaping Europe’s future. Over seven weeks, students travel to five cities—Prague, Berlin, Paris, Barcelona, and Athens—earning credit through a fully accredited university while engaging directly with startups, incubators, and changemakers along the way.
Whether you’re studying engineering, design, business, or the humanities, Summit offers a hands-on, interdisciplinary learning experience unlike anything on campus.
Here’s what you will experience:
- Dynamic, Multi-City Learning
Explore multiple cities in one immersive program. Understand how innovation works at the local level—and how scalable ideas grow across regions and cultures. - Cultural & Professional Immersion
Meet startup founders, technologists, and creative leaders. Go inside innovation hubs. Observe how different societies approach design, entrepreneurship, and change-making. - Academic Excellence
Earn up to 6 transferable credits. Courses focus on innovation, systems, entrepreneurship, communication, and European integration—designed for students in engineering, business, design, and beyond.
Join us to broaden your perspective, develop valuable skills, and position yourself for success in a rapidly evolving, innovation-driven world.
In a world shaped by complexity, creativity, and connection, we believe the best education happens where disciplines overlap—and where cultures meet.
That’s why Summit Global Education designs study abroad programs that are interdisciplinary, mobile, and deeply immersive. Since 2011, we’ve led students through multi-city journeys across Europe and Latin America, combining academic credit with field-based learning in real-world environments.
Each program is built around movement: across cities, industries, and ideas. Students don’t just read about innovation—they experience it firsthand by visiting local startups, design labs, and creative communities. Along the way, they build cross-cultural fluency, expand their worldview, and develop the mindset needed to thrive in global, collaborative careers.
Our mission is to prepare students to engage with complexity, contribute meaningfully across cultures, and lead with purpose in an interconnected world.

“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!”
William Croghan, Miami University
“I would recommend this program to other students. I really liked the structure and how well we were able to view and capture all aspects of the country of Brazil. Something that surprised me were how nice Brazilians were. Everyone was really patient and willing to go the extra mile for us. These past three weeks have been amazing!”
Kelly Marin, Seton Hall University
