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.
How will study abroad redefine you? We can't wait to find out.

Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"I have greatly developed my language speaking skills, and grown my appreciation and love of Italian culture. I would absolutely chosoe this program over and over again."
Nicole K Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State
"From the independence I gained while studying abroad, I learned so much about myself and the way I fit into the world. I came to learn what empowers me and what I value/lean on in the midst of change. Going abroad was a huge period of consistent adjustment and readjustment. As stressful as this sometimes was at first, I am so mu..."
Stefanie C Villanova University
"I have a great passion for fashion, so talking to the professor hired by IES who is in the field of fashion and luxury management really blew my mind. I was able to gain hands-on learning experiences in the fashion industry and involve in fashion week, which is a life-changing experience!"
Wan Chen H Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State
"It was super worthwhile! Living abroad is always so beneficial as you learn about other cultures, traditions, etc and become more aware as a person. "
Sophie D California Lutheran University
"I learned how to get out of my comfort zone and challenge myself. I had to introduce myself to new people in a new culture with a new language. Doing all of these things simultaneously is an experience that cannot be gained any other way."
Madelyn R Miami University
"My experience in Arles was great because, as a smaller town, it really forced me to speak French with locals rather than English. I got to learn a lot about French culture and my language skills greatly improved."
A student Brandeis University
"It was worthwhile!"
A student Brandeis University
"yes yes yes. Studying abroad is an incredible opportunity that should not be overlooked. I gained so much more confidence and self compassion for myself, I made some wonderful friends, and I got to travel to three different countries. I returned as a much more self assured and genuinely happy individual. "
Jessica U Brandeis University
"I got to learn a lot about Spanish history and culture, specifically Andalucian culture, both through the classes I was taking and from personal experiences. Most of the classes at IES Granada are targeted at immersing the students. I definitely recommend taking the classes with field trips. There is so much to see and do in Gra..."
tamara l Brandeis University
"I was already an international student in the U.S. coming from Europe, so for me living in Amsterdam was actually much closer to my normal lifestyle. I loved the people I met that were also doing their Erasmus there and enjoyed the city to the fullest. I gained friendships and learnt to maximize my experiences by always doing th..."
Anthilia A Brandeis University
"I learned about politics of conservation and human/wildlife conflict. Some classes were boring, and there were times when I felt like I wasn't learning anything, but I've definitely taken lessons with me. "
A student Wellesley College
"This program was most definitely worthwhile. It can be a challenge at first, but you learn quickly that you can overcome it. "
A student Brandeis University
"I gained a lot of cultural insight and was able to explore unique academic topics particular to the region of Granada. There was a lot of outside-of-the-classroom exposure, which was very exciting and I absorbed what I was learning better because of this. My only complaint was it was very hard to manage travel, socialization, an..."
A student Brandeis University
"I gained confidence in myself, and my ability to handle any challenges. I traveled all over Europe and got to experience so many beautiful places. It was absolutely worth it."
Kyla S Brandeis University
"I had the new experience of learning more than I ever did under an environment that was supportive rather than competitive. The professors helped us grow, we helped each other grow. This, to me, is the ideal way to learn."
A student Wellesley College

Nigina O Wellesley College
"I gained independence and more cultural experience. It was definetly worthwhile."
A student Brandeis University

"A feeling of independence and the opportunity to learn and explore a different culture. "
A student Brandeis University
"My experience abroad has been so meaningful that I have decided to pursue graduate school in France. The trajectory of my life really has changed, and I am so excited to return to France."
Isabel D Indiana University - Bloomington
"It sounds obvious, but I definitely learned how to adapt to new situations. The smallest things that you don't expect to be different are, from the way public transport works to how Irish dairy products taste, but you learn to love them in their own way (sometimes more than what you'd been used to). I'm also even more independen..."
Hannah T Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State
"It was definitely worthwhile. I learned from my experience that the world is big, but not as big as we think, so it is important to get to see and travel as much as possible. My experience abroad also allowed me to personally grow and push myself outside of my comfort zone. "
A student Point Park University
"As a student, I learned how to apply my coursework in an international context that allowed me to consider my academics as a whole instead of compartmentalized classes. As a young woman, I learned new skills to enter into the world confident and independent. I can actively see the way my thinking has evolved because I gave mysel..."
Cali C Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State
"I wouldn't trade my experience in Germany for the world! I got to understand who I am outside of my homeland, and understand the U.S. in an unique way. I also developed deep affection for Berlin and its history. All of these things brought me personal development, but also furthered my studies in International Affairs. It was gr..."
Corena P Miami University
"Not only did I learn how to be a better traveler, communicator, and student, but I gained a lot more confidence in everyday things. From the moment I left for Ireland to the day I had to return to the U.S, I feel as though my confidence levels have changed dramatically and I am a much better person because of it."
