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.

Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"It definitely broadened my worldview and opened my eyes to the richness of cities--just how much one building or site can signify, etc. I am interested in going back to Berlin because it has so much to offer for wannabe artists and writers."
Sarah M Fordham University
"I want to go back. I want to learn more Japanese. Japan is amazing. I was significantly lacking in motivation to manufacture my return to the states because I wanted to stay so badly. "
Thomas D Trinity University
"Most of what I learned abroad had nothing to do with academics at all. I learned more about myself and other people. I became a little more spontaneous and outgoing, and I learned how to balance working hard and having a good time. This experience didn't really change any of my plans (because I didn't really have any yet), b..."

Andreas J Trinity University
"Absolutely! I learned how to relate to people outside of a university setting since I wasn't taking any classes at the university. Some of my best friends were made outside of IES, but through other organizations that I got involved in throughout the city. It impacted my cultural awareness and my understanding of the European Un..."
Hannah M Trinity University
"My experience was incredible and worth every penny. I feel so much connected to the world now and to other cultures, I don't feel so wrapped up in my Texas suburb bubble. I was able to study Psychology in an amazing, interactive way, in the city where so many famous psychologists worked and researched. I loved all of my classes ..."
Lisa H Trinity University

"Vienna really impacted me, I learned so much about culture, history and music. It was nice to be studying about europe and actually being there. I also really enjoyed my internship, and the small business environment in Austria. "
Maria Andrea R Trinity University
"ABSOLUTELY."
Addie D Ithaca College
"The experience was worthwhile, but what was surprising to me at the beginning of the program was that I learned more about myself and about personal things unrelated to French and academics than I did about other things. I learned about the type of people I should associate with, and I learned very much about my personal strateg..."
Sean C Saint Anselm College
"It was most definitely worthwhile. Through my internship provided by my program I was able to first-hand experience teaching English in a foreign country which directly impacted my future plans for teaching abroad. "
Soha N Austin College
"Yes, it was. I learned more about myself than I thought I would, and it's made me realize that my goals to pursue French language and literature in college and for my career aspirations are plausible and doable. I had a fair amount of friend drama and host family problems that I went through, but that had just as much to do with..."
Sean C Saint Anselm College

jeremy b Ithaca College
"If I could repeat those four months and more, I absolutely would, as my time abroad proved to be one of the best- if not the best- time of my life, especially personally and culturally. It has certainly instilled in me a desire to return and live abroad again for a longer period of time, which I am already planning to do. It was..."
