Effects of Global Experiences for the Undergraduate Student
Patricia K. Adams
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Southeastern University
The purpose of this non-experimental quantitative study was to determine the effect global experiences have on undergraduate students' self-confidence, cultural awareness, and career choice. The research took place at a single research site, a private, faith-based university in the Southeastern United States. Students who had participated in a global experience, such as a mission trip or a study abroad experience, were invited to complete the researcher-created survey, the Global Experience Exit Survey. The data from 59 undergraduate students was analyzed using SPSS, specifically one sample t-tests. The results indicated statistically significant findings for all three subconstructs. The findings show that GEs positively affect students' perceptions of self-confidence, cultural awareness, and career choice. Further research is required to determine how to structure GEs to ensure the greatest benefits for undergraduate students.
