Everything we do is about the IES Abroad student.
Created in 1950, we believe in crafting unforgettable, life-changing educational adventures that go beyond our students' expectations. Every year about 6,500 study abroad students choose IES Abroad for their authentic study and intern abroad experience.
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.
Through IES Internships, we offer a variety of full-time semester and summer internships in 15 locations around the world. For more than 40 years, we've provided opportunities to intern in some of the world's most exciting cities. With IES Internships, you'll have a guaranteed placement, more on-the-job hours, dedicated assistance with résumés and interviewing skills, and the ability to network with other students.

Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"I learned to be accepting of other cultures and really open my eyes to different types of people. Also am a master at reading maps."
A student Trinity University
"I learned that I would like to live in Amsterdam for the rest of my life. Yes, it was extremely worthwhile. If I had to do study abroad again I would go to Amsterdam, 100%, no doubt. But, I would probably choose a different program and company to go through rather than IES Abroad."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned about music and German!"
A student Lawrence University
"I learned a lot about myself. I learned that I'm a very independent person who doesn't mind feeling a bit like a fish out of water. I also learned I'm less shy than I thought I was, and that when put in a situation where I don't know anyone, I can make friends quickly. I also loved my experience in Ireland as a whole and I would..."
A student Webster University
"I learned so much about myself from my time abroad. I am more independent and have been more confident of myself. I've also learned how to make anything happen if I'm determined. "
Valerie M Trinity University
"Studying in Milan through IES was the greatest experience of my life. I learned so much about myself and about a new culture, tried so many new things, made so many memories and gained lifelong friends. It was definitely worthwhile!!!"
Julia C Miami University
"It is hard to sum up what I learned in words. I learned about different cultures and different ways of life. I learned how to go with the flow and really enjoy everything. I learned how to plan and travel places I had never imagined going (try sitting in a boat in the middle of Patagonia with a GIANT whale under you). It was 100..."
A student Trinity University
"I learned so much about myself. So much freedom and it was amazing."
Julie A George Washington University
"I gained confidence and independence as well as friends from all over the world. "
A student Trinity University
"I can speak French a heck of a lot better than I could before. I had incredible experiences exploring Paris and other cities when I traveled, but the program was a total waste because I feel as though I learned nothing and received few benefits. I would have been better off going to Paris on my own for 4 months than doing the ..."
A student Tufts University
"I learned about what it is like to be in a culture that has many differences to the one I am used to. I gained many friends and a different way of looking at things. It was worthwhile."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Friends, cultural experience, travel, language. Yes"
A student Wellesley College
"How to be extremely independent and solve problems efficiently. Yes, this experience was invaluable, in my opinion."
A student Fordham University
"I learned a lot about myself personally and my goals for the future. I learned about living in a foreign country and how to deal with the changes from living at home. I think the experience was worthwhile because I learned lessons that could not have been taught in the United States. "
A student Fordham University
"The most rewarding experience I gained from studying abroad was learning about myself; I learned that I am more capable, independent, sociable and adventurous than I once thought myself to be. Because of this, my study abroad experience was worthwhile. "
frcascardo Fordham University
"Became more opened minded and got a better understanding of how the world works."
Athavan S Fordham University
"It was certainly worthwhile. My German improved, I met some great people, and I learned a good deal about the German culture"
A student Austin College
"Being abroad is a great experience and is definitely worthwhile. It's hard to explain everything I learned, but I think in general a gained more confidence and knowledge about a different culture. "
Leah M Brandeis University
"My Spanish definitely got a lot better and I was forced to learn how to be independent. It was definitely worthwhile."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned my passion for languages (I really miss hearing other languages in stores or on the streets) and I learned to become much more independent. I learned how to navigate public transportation as well as traveling to other countries without assistance. I gained a new perspective on American culture and on European culture..."
A student Trinity University
"It was definitely worthwhile. I had a great time here living in Spain and learning about the culture, the food and the language. I learned so much from life experience and concrete knowledge and it was definitely a growing experience to live outside of your comfort zone."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned so much about the culture and language. It was definitely worth it!"
Rafael F University of the Pacific
"I enjoyed my Latin American Politics class and my Cultural Studies class, but I found the overall program lacking when it came to cultural immersion. I felt like I was on a very long tourist vacation for much of my experience. This is largely due to the fact that all of the students are from the United States and are very young ..."
A student University of the Pacific
"This entire experience was amazing. Although I was very homesick, I am so glad I made the leap and came here and stuck it out. I made some amazing friends, had some VERY awesome memories, and I will never forget this experience. This was totally worthwhile."
A student University of the Pacific
"I gained a fuller understanding of the world around me, great memories of London, adventures, and new friends. It was totally worth it."
A student Boston University
