Upcoming Website Maintenance

Early this Wednesday morning U.S. Central Time the IES Abroad website will undergo scheduled maintenance. During this time some or all features of the site - like login and account creation - may be unavailable, but we expect this disruption to be brief. Thank you for your patience.

Study Abroad with IES Abroad

There's a reason Indiana University is among the 275 U.S. colleges and universities that partner with IES Abroad (and it's not just because IU awarded us a Bicentennial Medal for our leadership in the field of study abroad). 

You might hear that it's our 75 years of study abroad expertise. Or that we've been named Top Study Abroad Organization two years in a row based on student reviews. Or even that we offer 140+ programs in 30 locations around the world and $7.9+ million in aid. All of which would be true. But there's one thing that shines through everything we do, and that's our unwavering commitment to you. 

At IES Abroad, everything we do is about our students—from one-on-one predeparture advising to programming that is designed with your academic and personal goals in mind. Plus, as an IU student, you're automatically eligible for our $1,000 Public University Grant and can apply for additional scholarships and aid. 

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.

Our Partnership

Indiana University partners with IES Abroad on several semester, summer, and summer internship programs. These programs have been selected and approved by IU so that students can incorporate a study abroad experience into their degree progress. We encourage you to discuss your interest in education abroad with your academic advisor(s) and an education abroad advisor.

Contact Your IES Abroad Representative

Because every campus is different, your Representative knows the policies and procedures at Indiana University, and will provide assistance based on your individual, unique needs.  

Curious about a specific program? Have questions about the application? Don't hesitate to reach out! 

Once you apply to a program, your Representative will connect you with your personal Advisor who can assist with all things predeparture: understanding your visa process, preregistering for classes, learning about your housing options, and more. 

Starting now until you return home, we're here to support you every step of the way.

“IES Abroad is a program that will completely change your life for the better if you let it. I was terrified to go abroad, but the support and help that I got from the IES Abroad staff and my host family helped me take advantage of the experience and helped me grow so much as an individual.”
