Institute for the International Education of Students (IES)
As a member of the prestigious consortium, the International Education of Students (IES), Wagner College is able to offer undergraduates the opportunity to study abroad in 32 cities in 18 different countries. In addition to having the learning experience of a lifetime living and studying in a different culture, students can also participate in internships, field study, field trips and volunteer activities.
Students pay Wagner tuition and keep all financial aid except their Wagner scholarship. Students pay housing directly to IES and credits are guaranteed to count towards graduation at Wagner. Students must take 5 units on all IES programs with the exception of New Zealand and Australia where 4 units are taken.
As with all study abroad programs at Wagner, students must first apply for permission to study abroad through Wagner College. All students must have a 3.0 cumulative grade point average and be in good disciplinary standing at the time of application.
