Summer is a time to explore, to create, to make new friends and memories. And if you’re like most students, summer is a valuable time to get ahead in your studies.

Instead of staying on campus next summer, we invite you to step outside of your comfort zone and discover two incredible European cities with our SCOPE programs.

SCOPE (multi-city) programs combine two of our wonderful summer programs into one incredible experience. You’ll delve into two cities, two universities, two cultures, and maybe even two languages!

We are excited to share our SCOPE offerings for Summer 2020:
