The Institute for International Education included a program on study abroad, concluding that U.S.A. students who participate in them need to go deeper. One of the issues addressed that, for convenience and expense, some students choose short one or two week experiences that are completed orchestrated for them rather than diving into a longer semester or year-long experience. Another critique was that U.S.A. students are allowed to take their culture with them and are not asked to adopt to their new environment. Study Abroad is a wonderful introduction to engaging or living abroad but the question is how it can be enhanced for greater impact.
