Abstract
As our world has become increasingly globalized, international and comparative education activities in the form of study abroad programs have become increasingly prevalent, and students in higher education are often motivated to participate in short-term or longer-term study abroad programs (Altbach, Reisberg, & Rumbley, 2009). In addition to providing learning opportunities in students’ respective subjects, such programs are also expected to challenge and expand students’ worldviews by enabling them to become fully immersed in structured cross-cultural learning experiences.
