Preparing Students to Navigate a Globalized World

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, success requires more than just academic knowledge—it demands adaptability, critical thinking, and the ability to scale ideas across diverse markets. Summit Global Education’s programs immerse students in dynamic international settings, where they explore how businesses, entrepreneurs, and innovators expand their impact worldwide.

Our short-term, multi-city study abroad programs provide students with the opportunity to engage directly with professionals, visit leading organizations, and experience the cultural and economic factors that shape business success. These experiences build essential skills—cross-cultural communication, global strategy, and an innovation mindset—that set students apart in competitive industries.

By blending academic depth with real-world learning, Summit creates transformative programs that broaden perspectives, foster personal growth, and prepare students to thrive in an economy driven by entrepreneurship, digital transformation, and international collaboration.

“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

“I would 100% recommend this program to other Iowa students. I have learned so much about Brazil and will carry that with me for the rest of my life. Brian and Leo, my professors, are nothing but professional in the classroom and make for a great learning atmosphere. Outside of the classroom, they are fun and friendly; The perfect mix!”
