Study Abroad with IES Abroad

IES Abroad is committed to extending its learning opportunities to students from all walks of life and recognizes that students under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status may wish to take part in our programs. 

Students should seek their own, independent, legal advice relating to international travel and obtaining an Advanced Parole document to participate in an IES Abroad program outside of the United States. Upon request, IES Abroad will provide students under DACA status a letter to confirm their enrollment in an IES Abroad program and an itinerary for the proposed program.

“My virtual internship allowed me to take my communication and critical thinking skills to a new level because I worked with people with very different experiences from my own and was exposed to new cultures.”
