Students can pursue studies in areas such as design, business, humanities, social sciences, and the arts while living in some of Europe’s most dynamic cities.
At the heart of SAI Programs is a commitment to meaningful learning, creativity, and personal growth. Each program encourages participants to explore the connections between self, community, and culture, fostering global awareness, professional development, and social responsibility. SAI’s experienced teams in both the U.S. and Europe provide comprehensive support—from pre-departure advising to on-site orientation, emergency assistance, housing, excursions, and cultural activities—so students have a safe and well-supported experience abroad.
SAI study abroad is intentionally focused on Europe and works closely with local partners to highlight the unique historical, cultural, and contemporary context of each location. Programs are interdisciplinary by design, giving students the flexibility to build an academic path that fits their goals while deepening their understanding of the host country’s role in today’s global landscape. With a personalized approach to advising, student services, and academics, SAI Programs aims to deliver an inspiring, transformative study abroad experience for every participant.
