The Future Is Bright, and the World Will Be Waiting
Give yourself something to look forward to and start planning your study abroad adventure today!
In our 70-year history, we have become known for our academic excellence, our student-first philosophy, and our unparalleled health and safety policies. A global pandemic only reinforced those pillars of the IES Abroad experience. As we eagerly await the day when it is safe and possible to travel internationally together again, we invite you to keep dreaming, keep planning, and keep chasing your curiosity to explore the globe. We’ll be here.
For now, let your mind wander, so that someday you can too.
Study abroad is more than going from here to there. It’s an exhilarating challenge of academic and cultural immersion, plus a whole lot of fun. With programs in dozens of locations around the world and in a wide variety of disciplines, you're sure to find a program that best fits your study abroad goals.
Add global brilliance to your résumé with an internship abroad. Whether you intern abroad full-time or add a part-time internship to your study abroad experience, you'll have the opportunity to work with local professionals and gain meaningful work experience.
Your experience abroad is all about learning and exploring - so that's what we're all about. As a not-for-profit study abroad and internship provider, you are our bottom line. Your success is our success. And in today’s world, that’s a pretty extraordinary thing. Discover more about what sets us apart.
Join Us for a Virtual Info Session This Fall!
Each week, at 2:00 p.m. CDT, you'll get the chance to meet some of the IES Abroad "village" that is here to help you on your journey as they share a 20-minute presentation on that session's topic, plus 10 minutes of live Q&A. Explore the Zoom Around the World schedule and RSVP.
We are always told that there is a whole world out there to explore, but it’s another thing to see it with your own eyes.

Study abroad is an incredible adventure. But don't just take our word for it! Check out what our students have to say about study abroad on IES Abroad Blogs, in their Film Festival submissions, and in their Global Citizen of the Year profiles.

Diversity Resources
We're proud that our students are as diverse as the countries where they study abroad and intern. Explore our range of diversity resources as they connect to your race/ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation, religion, dietary needs, physical ability, mental health, or other identities.
