Welcome to the beginning of a transformative personal journey
Since 1995, SAI has provided students with exceptional cultural and educational experiences abroad, offering the opportunity to enroll in some of the finest schools available to English speaking students in Europe. By encouraging students to explore the complex intersections between self, community, and creativity, SAI aims to provide an inspiring and transformative experience for all participants. All SAI services, in the U.S. and overseas, are geared toward ensuring student safety and maximizing the student experience; both in terms of providing a framework for academic inquiry, and offering each student opportunities for personal growth and development.
Summer Programs
Summer programs are a great way to study abroad without interrupting your regular semester study and to see the host cities at their most popular time. SAI summer programs range from 2 - 12 weeks in length, and award 3 - 12 credits. Each program is unique, with coursework in our full range of disciplines, and options for elective coursework, intensive language study, or block courses for an immersive experience in a specific area of study. Additionally, you’ll have opportunities to complete internships, service learning, and multi-city study, all with the comfort of SAI’s 360° Services and personalized support.
