Area of Science:

  • Higher Education
  • International Education
  • Student Success

Background:

  • Debate exists on whether studying abroad aids or hinders academic progress.
  • International education is considered a high-impact practice for student engagement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the impact of studying abroad on student academic outcomes.
  • To determine if international education affects graduation rates and GPA.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized semester-by-semester records from 221,981 students across 35 institutions.
  • Employed nearest-neighbor matching techniques to control for confounding variables.
  • Compared outcomes for 30,549 students who studied abroad versus those who did not.

Main Results:

  • Studying abroad positively impacted 4- and 6-year graduation rates.
  • International education was associated with a higher cumulative GPA at graduation.
  • A slight increase in credit hours was offset by a decrease in time-to-degree.

Conclusions:

  • Studying abroad does not impede timely graduation.
  • Encouraging international education experiences promotes college completion.
  • Positive effects were consistent across varying study abroad durations and multiple experiences.
