IES Abroad Paris – Business & International Affairs

I think the best way to learn is through experience, and I don't think there's a better experience than being fully immersed in a different culture. In business, global awareness and cross-cultural communications are becoming increasingly important, so as a business student I thought an international program would help me develop not only personally, but also professionally.

I wanted to experience something totally new and personally grow from it. Along with that, I wanted to embrace the opportunity to interact with and learn from different cultures, in order to have a better understanding of future career opportunities.

I chose IES because of the ease and support they provided as well as the programs offered. The programs offered by IES provided the right balance of academic rigor, cultural immersion, and independence. Because the program information, including course description, syllabus, and logistics were all online or in pamphlets, I was able to realize my plans much earlier than my actual departure date. They were extremely helpful in answering any questions as well as supportive in the visa process.
