This paper voices the opinions of international students' from China and India, and highlights the intentional process of integrating their perceptions of internationalization into a strategic service delivery plan. Data on those perceptions were analysed using a probabilistic model. We clustered 766 international students' opinions into…

An increasing number of students complete an internship during their higher education studies in a country different from that of their home institution. A main advantage of this type of mobility is that it responds to employers' need for graduates with both hands-on experience and global skills. In this paper, we attempt to review existing…

The term "international educational experience" is in rapid evolution in terms of both structure and definition (Hoffa & De Paul, 2010). The field is currently experiencing the appearance of a new and increasingly popular genre, known as non-credit educational abroad (Mahmoud & Fairugia, 2016). This type is expected to be one of…

Internationalisation is seen as one of the means of enabling engineering students to acquire skills and attitudes and also promote their employability. In this study, we investigate the effects of a six-month internship abroad on self-perceived employability, by (1) observing the global effect of the internship abroad on factors related to…

The purpose of this study was to use existing data from the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) to examine the relationship between student engagement indicators and NCAA Division I student-athletes' participation in high-impact practices, specifically internships and study abroad. Student engagement indicators were the independent…

The number of African students in China has significantly increased in the last two decades. This trend is closely related to China's engagement with Africa in all aspects and insufficient provision of higher education in many African countries. This study examines the degree to which African students are satisfied with their study and life…

This chapter examines a student-led internship project to repurpose a Residence Abroad (RA) reflective survey in order to achieve better meta-cognitive self-analysis and more productive communication between outgoing and returning students and staff. Evidence from the project and from scholarships pointed to the limitations of free-text reflective…

Since the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) introduced high-impact practices (HIPs) in 2007, scholars have argued that students' involvement in these programs is associated with a range of positive outcomes. Namely, participation in HIPs is thought to promote student retention and help close achievement gaps between…

This study explores the identities of Korean American college students through identity journey maps during a faculty-led study abroad program in Korea. Drawing from Asian Critical theory (AsianCrit), this study presents how participants of Korean descent challenged a monolithic and unitary notion of Korean American identity while acknowledging…

Internships are three-way partnerships among an institution of higher education, an employment (internship) site, and a student intern. Internships offer students an opportunity to apply classroom learning to a practical setting, while engaging actively in a professional capacity. At the beginning of an internship, students are likely to be…

As the experience of studying abroad can signal general and transnational human capital, it is considered to be increasingly important for professional careers, particularly in the context of economies' internationalization. However, studies using graduate surveys face problems of self-selection and studies on employers' opinions face problems of…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify students' motivations and perceived benefits of engaging in study abroad programs, as well as challenges and missed opportunities. Design/methodology/approach: An online survey was sent to random samples of students on two university campuses. Descriptive statistics and frequency analyses were…

This study explores connections between design features of faculty-led short-term study abroad programs and resulting changes in students' global perspectives. Over 2,000 students provided data for this study, completing the Global Perspective Inventory (GPI) before and after studying abroad. Results indicated that program features such as…

American college students have an unprecedented range of international opportunities available to broaden their world view and deepen their understanding of global issues, whether through formal study abroad programs, international internships, international volunteer projects or work abroad opportunities.
