Pro-Tip: Apply For Your Passport Today

Getting your passport is a crucial step for studying abroad and the reality is that COVID-19 has delayed processing times. The U.S. State Department has announced that it can up to 18 weeks—aka 4.5 months!—to process a passport. Learn more about getting your passport as soon as you can, and hop to it.

How to Study Abroad

From application to airplane and back again, we're here to take the mystery out of how to study abroad.

Scholarships & Aid

We commit more than $5 million in study abroad scholarships and aid because we firmly believe financial limitations should not prevent qualified students from going on an IES Abroad program.

Study abroad is an incredible adventure. But don't just take our word for it!

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.
