Global Business Programs, with a Focus on Scaling Innovation and Impact

Multi-city study abroad programs that go beyond the classroom—exploring how businesses grow, adapt, and scale their influence in an interconnected world.

Most study abroad programs keep students in one place. We take you further.

Our programs in Europe and Latin America are built on the idea that to truly understand global business, you have to experience its complexity. Each city offers a different perspective—on entrepreneurship, strategy, leadership, and the forces driving innovation. By traveling across multiple locations, students don’t just study global business—they see how companies expand, evolve, and create impact in real time, in real places, among real people.

One Program, Multiple Cities—A Deeper Perspective on Scaling Impact

In each destination, students connect with business leaders, startup founders, and industry experts, gaining firsthand insight into how organizations grow across different markets. Whether exploring emerging startups, corporate innovation, or technology-driven expansion, students learn to think critically, adapt to new environments, and compare different business strategies.

Through a combination of academic study, immersive travel, and local engagement, students develop the knowledge, confidence, and perspective to navigate an interconnected economy—because the best way to understand global business is to experience it.

“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
