College-Bound Students' Interests in Study Abroad and Other
International Learning Activities
This study, developed in collaboration with Art & Science Group
and the College Board, demonstrates that college-bound high school
students have strong interest in study abroad and international
learning. A high proportion want the college they attend to offer a wide
range of international experiences and opportunities, including language
study, internships and study abroad, and courses on international
topics. The findings suggest that U.S. colleges and universities need to
encourage student participation as well as provide opportunities for
students to gain knowledge about and experiences in the wider world.
