Study Abroad with IES Abroad

There's a reason the Wake Forest University is among the 275 U.S. colleges and universities that partner with IES Abroad.

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.
