Our work starta in our Chicago headquarters and spreads across more than 130 study abroad programs in more than 30+ locations worldwide. With this network, we develop authentic global education and life-affirming cultural experiences. We believe that studying abroad should be a part of every student's academic life, and we aim to not only provide study abroad opportunities, but to consistently maintain a friendly, fun, and safe academic and cultural environment.
We believe so firmly in the power of our academically superior programs, that we actively recruit students from diverse populations and pledges more than $5 million in scholarships year after year. We are proud that our students are as diverse and exciting as the countries we study.

Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"I've learned that I'm truly more independent and braver than I thought and I can't wait to go back as soon as I can. "
A student Trinity University
"I gained a worldly perspective and now appreciate & am more concerned about many things more now than I did before. For example, I've realized how important caring for our earth is, and how big of a difference a single person can make. I've also become more humble, I think, which I saw from the majority of the people in New Zea..."
A student Indiana University - Bloomington
"I made a lot of new friends and learned a lot about living in a foreign country while abroad. It was so much fun and definitely worthwhile!"
A student Santa Clara University
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I gained new perspectives on different ways of life, and learned a lot about myself from being on my own and being independent. "
Margot K Brown University
"Naturally, I learned so much about Ireland and, surprisingly, found a new appreciation for American culture. I made life-long American friends in the IES program as well as locals and international students at Trinity. Being thrown into a new city where I knew no one was a character-building experience. I have become much more c..."
Louisa B University of Rochester
"I learned about France, both culturally and linguistically. I also learned a lot about myself and more clearly defined my future career and life goals. In addition, I met some great friends (both French and American) that I will be in touch with for the rest of my life. "
A student University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
"I wanted to determine whether or not I want to study in the UK for my postgraduate degree, and I also wanted to generally experience London life, and I was able to perceive that I would probably not enjoy studying under the British education system for postgraduate education, but that I would like to work in the UK at some point..."
A student University of Puget Sound
"I seized as many opportunities as I possibly could while I was in Freiburg and did things I never thought I would be brave enough to do. I was successful at living abroad on my own and integrating myself into German culture and establishing a community of friends and resources around me. I feel very empowered to know I can go to..."
emily.ostrove Whitman College
"I gained a confidence in my French speaking ability, and the drive to make that last step from advanced speaking to fluency. I also gained a group of French friends and family who believe in me and would support me if I choose to return."
A student Southern Methodist University
"It's impossible to write everything I learned and how I changed in one paragraph! My time abraod was such a blessing and I would do it again in a heart beat. I had the wonderful opportunity to see the world in a different light, explore my interests and expand my outlooks. Nothing compares to going abroad!"
Ashlyn K Wofford College
"It was probably the best choice I have made to date. "
Jennifer O Georgetown University
"Not only did I learn all the ins and outs of European political and economic systems, but I also learned all about the culture of different European countries. Understanding and experiencing the diverse cultures of Europe is something you cannot do unless you travel and see each culture in action. This program allowed me to do j..."
Haley G University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
"I learned so much about the language, culture, and the people there. It was definitely worthwhile because I created memories that I will always remember."
Kimi S Santa Clara University
"I had always wanted to study abroad but at the same time I was a little scared to just venture into the world all on my own. IES Barcelona was the perfect fit for me! They provided the support needed while allowing me the freedom to take full advantage of my study abroad experience. The staff was great help in getting settled..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Overall, I felt a lot more independent when I left Ireland. I'd navigated foreign cities, made new friends, gotten to know Dublin and traveled a bit. I felt really refreshed and confident in my own capabilities. In terms of my internship experience, learned a lot about working on my own initiative. Irish work culture is diff..."
Rachel T The University of Texas at Austin
"There are many different ways to explore and get to know a city, may it be food, the arts or meeting people, choose your favorite and it'll be more than worthwhile. "
Alexandra A College of Charleston
"I really learned to appreciate the Spanish culture and the way they live. "
Andrea A University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
"I became more independent and open to new experiences. I met a lot of great people who I wouldn't have met any other way. The English department at Trinity focuses more on modern literature than the English department at my home school, so I read a lot of texts I'd never been exposed to. It was an incredibly worthwhile experienc..."
A student Washington University in Saint Louis
"Based on my experience in Japan, I decided to major in East Asia Studies, and I was able to jump a year in Japanese language classes back at my college. Definitely worthwhile!"
Annelise G Oberlin College
"My experience abroad was 100% worthwhile. There is no better way to learn about yourself and the world around you than to immerse yourself directly into a foreign country out of your comfort zone and without your family and close friends from home to be with you every step of the way. I became almost fluent in the italian langua..."
Cassie Z Pennsylvania State University - University Park
"I discovered I could live and thrive in a big city, be self-sufficient, and become comfortable in new or uncomfortable situations."
arianalisefski Knox College
"I learned independence, the ability to think globally, and a thirst to learn more about the rest of this massive world! It was worth it because IES and Vienna allowed me to explore a city in depth and yet get a chance to travel on my own to other areas of Europe. "
Laurel B University of Minnesota
"My language abilities increased immensely, and it changed my view of the world. I learned so much both inside and outside of the classroom about Ecuador, Latin America, developing countries in general, among many other things."
danny.taylor7 Universidad San Francisco de Quito
"I learned all about Irish culture and history through my classes, traveling, field trips, and interactions with locals. It was thrilling and amazing to learn so much about a place you are living in for a temporary time. It was completely worthwhile."
Dana T Indiana University - Bloomington
"I learned lots of new things about England that I didn't know before. It was a worthwhile experience because I got to travel the world and see new sights and eat new foods and learn new languages!"
A student Bryant University
