Summer Programs & Program Evaluation Dates

As we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to cautiously assess how we can deliver safe, quality programming for this summer. Here, you'll find a list of the programs we plan to run for Summer 2021 alongside 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.

We have also noted if the program will be modified in any way for health- and safety-related purposes, such as limited travel or no homestays. Learn more about our health and safety protocols and how we’re preparing for students to be on-site.

While study abroad in Summer 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 summer term. Please know that while these dates help you anticipate a more concrete timeline, details for Summer 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.

      Flexibility Is the Name of the Game

      Please know that the details for Summer 2021 can change at any time, whether that be in response to travel regulations, a change in your university's decisions, or another one of the moving pieces. We advise you to have a backup plan to study abroad and familiarize yourself with your home college/university policies and procedures in this unique time.

      While we know that uncertainty can be uncomfortable, we hope you choose to give yourself the chance of going abroad and rest assured we'll be in communication throughout this process and will always keep your best interest at heart.
