169 students participated in a variety of faculty-led, study abroad programs in different locations around the world. The programs varied in length from 2-8 weeks.
The goal was to determine the impact of the study abroad experiences on students’ Cultural Intelligence (CQ). Each student completed the Pre- and Post CQ Assessment.
The study abroad office worked with the CQ Center to develop a strategy for effectively using the assessment and supporting curriculum to improve student CQ. The school held an In-House CQ Certification to get study abroad leaders, faculty, career services, and administrators equipped to use and debrief the CQ Assessments.
