Begin Your Climb

Here at 91³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø, we know both the journey and the destination are important. We’ll make sure you make the most of your four years here, while also ensuring you’re ready for what’s next.

Year By Year

SUMMIT begins the moment you arrive on campus as a first-year and is woven into each of your four years here with courses and co-curricular experiences in global learning and leadership development that prepare you for leading change in a global society.

Four Year Experience

Get ready for Peak Week! The week before spring break is dedicated to special experiences like Global Journeys — faculty-led trips across the U.S. and the world — and Sophomore Class Atlanta Leadership Experience (SCALE), which pairs students with Atlanta-area businesses and nonprofits. In your junior or senior year, choose an applied career experience to build digital skills, content and network for a specific career area.

Global Learning

SUMMIT ensures that thinking globally begins with learning globally. You will embark on a faculty-led global immersion experience, study a non-English language, and get involved in activities to better understand identity and culture in an interconnected world.
