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
"Yes - broadened my perspective, gained in-depth understanding of the EU and basic knowledge of German language, exposed to different cultures through frequent travelling, memorable experiences!"
Christine J Wellesley College
"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. I only wish I had done it sooner in my college career so I could do another study abroad program (preferably a whole semester). It was exhilarating living in a different country with a completely different culture and challenging your own comfort levels. I think we have a lot..."
Lauren V The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, it was definitely worthwhile. I tried to stay in Freiburg as much as possible, since i didn't want to spend money on too much travel, but i did get to go to so many places and understand the culture better. At the end of the trip, I had set up a meeting with an 8th grade class an hour from Freiburg in the Black Forest, and ..."
Ariel D DePauw University
"I would highly recommend this program to anyone-I wish I could have stayed longer!"
Anna L Emory University
"Absolutely worthwhile. I learned things that I never expected about living in other parts of the world. Understanding other cultures and how similar the most different places are to home. I met people from all over the world and some just from Seattle. The people are the best part, the friends are unforgettable and have changed ..."
Kathryn G Pacific Lutheran University
"Yes. "
Claire J DePauw University
"I discovered a lot about my personality and was able to sped my embarrassment when it came to making mistakes. I appreciate Hawaii and the US in a different way now. I feel like the world is so much bigger now."

Betty C DePauw University
"My world-view was positively impacted as well as my appreciation for other world cultures. I have a strong desire to travel and teach abroad."
Bethany M University of Denver
"I learned a lot about myself. I learned about my personal traits through group interaction, what I'm willing to give up and what I'm not. I learned about my weaknesses and conquered some of my fears. I also learned about stuff I still need to work on, personally. Study abroad did change my future plans, slightly. I know I w..."
Jennifer E Trinity University
"Yes, I did not want to leave."
James K The University of Texas at Austin
"I have become a more focused, confident and active student because of it. I gained a better understanding on how to live my life, which is to say, I gained a more Spanish outlook on life, which is to follow what makes you happy, and if it isn't making you happy, leave it behind. I plan to move back to Granada at some point. "
Daniel B Tulane University
"I understand that I know very little about Japan and must go back to learn more."
Timothy H Austin College
"It was very worthwhile. It was life changing! The only reason why my experience is not a five globe rating is my disappointment with the housing and services provided by IES for the cost of the program. Also, I would have liked to meet more Dutchies, but I cannot attribute that entirely to IES. Traveling opened my eyes eve..."
Maggie T Wellesley College
"I wish I was back in Nantes right now. I gained so much confidence with my language skills and proved that I can live and travel around other countries alone. I hope to be able to return to France after college to work and continue to speak French."
Preston M The University of Texas at Austin

Aaron A The University of Texas at Austin
"YES. It was fascinating to find out how classes are taught differently, and what constitutes an 'American' teaching method."
Caitlin T Trinity University
"Being in Nantes influenced me to want to come back after college to teach for a year. I learned about the enormous influence that the States have on Europe. I experienced the unifying nature that all people have regardless of the language they speak."
Preston M The University of Texas at Austin
"SO worthwhile! I'll just say it's easily the best decision I've made in college. "
Jamie M Trinity University
"Yes."
Amanda R The University of Texas at Austin
"It was beyond worthwhile. I love Barnard I love Columbia I love New York City but a semester away in a new country with new friends a different language and new experiences everyday was incredibly refreshing and important for my college experience. The perspective gained from living abroad is unique and cannot be taught or give..."
