Unique opportunities: Influence of study abroad on Black students
Jasmine Lee and Qiana Green – Michigan State University

A common problem in study abroad is the underrepresentation of Black students and there is a lack of their experiences in study abroad research. Further, research on the experiences and positive outcomes of study abroad for Black college students is required to draw concrete conclusions. As such, this research examined what Black students learned about themselves and how their career trajectory was influenced by this study abroad trip. Findings suggest positive outcomes, though the participant number was small. For this reason, it is imperative that research is conducted to better understand what hinders Black students from studying abroad. Exploring these topics through research and practical programming could lead to positive outcomes and increased participation for Black students.
