Mission Statement
Everything we do is about the IES Abroad student. Our profoundly passionate team of study abroad professionals believes in creating once-in-a-lifetime educational adventures that transcend expectations. At IES Abroad, we're proud to be different. We can say that our academic standards are unmatched, our partnerships with more than 500 global universities and colleges speak to the quality of our programs, and our health and safety practices have set the standards for the entire field of study abroad. And all of that would be true. From our headquarters in Chicago to our 400+ study abroad programs in 83+ global locations world wide, we create authentic global education and life-affirming cultural experiences. We work at IES Abroad because we believe that every student should have the opportunity to go abroad – especially in a fun, safe, and superior academic and cultural environment. We believe so strongly in the power of our program, that we actively recruit students from diverse populations and provide more than $6 million in scholarships and aid year after year. We are proud that our students are as diverse and exciting as the host countries of Center locations. We’re not ashamed to admit, we're a little bit obsessed with study abroad!
