Fall 2021 Programs

Fall Programs & Program Evaluation Dates

Looking ahead to Fall 2021, we continue to cautiously assess how we can deliver the safe, quality programming you're looking for.

Explore this list of the programs we plan to run this fall, as well as the dates in which we will pause to review whether or not that program can run. Our advice is to apply for the program you want to attend and always have a backup plan just in case you need it. This page will be your resource for the most up-to-date programming decisions, and any changes that need to be made will be reflected here.

While study abroad in 2021 will inevitably look different than before, it is still a dream worth chasing. Contact us with any questions at any time.

IES Abroad Program Evaluation Dates

To bring more structure into such a flexible time, we've set an Evaluation Date for each program in which we will pause to review the likelihood of whether or not that program can run.

Program Evaluation Dates are listed next to each program below. If the decision to suspend a program is made, students will be notified by this date along with possible programming alternates. If the decision is made to continue with our plans to run that program, students will also be notified, and we will continue on-going assessment of the feasibility of the program as we prepare for the fall term. Please know that while these dates help you anticipate a more concrete timeline, details for Fall 2021 can change at any time.

As always, our standards for health and safety and our commitment to do right by our students guide us through this decision-making process.

Fall 2021 Programs

We're cautiously optimistic for Fall 2021 study abroad, and won't leave you waiting until the last minute to know if your program is going to run. We know how important it is to plan ahead.
