These programs usually adopt advanced methods, suchas problem-based/project-based learning, focus on team work and student-facultyinteractions, etc. In addition, the international dimension of summer programs areoften exhibited in the participations of renowned faculty members from differentcountries or in the implementation of curriculum with a global element.

These efforts include first-year seminars, internships, learning communities, and capstone projects.2, 5 Study abroad,however, has not been seriously considered as a high impact retention activity. The researchshows that UUMs struggle in mathematics and science intensive programs such as engineering,not simply because of academic under-preparation per se, but more importantly, due to feelingsof not belonging and lack of confidence in their ability to learn coupled with low self-efficacyand self-direction.6-8 In fact, the common theme among successful high impact retentionstrategies is
