However,aside from anecdotal evidence, little data have been published in support of this assumption.Senior exit survey data were analyzed to determine if there were any differences in educationalexperiences, co-curricular experiences, satisfaction, and preparedness between those who have orhave not studied abroad. Differences between international and domestic students were alsoexamined.Higher levels of perceived preparedness to work in a global context were found for students whohave studied abroad as well as among international students, compared to their counterparts.Differences in specific attributes, including ability to work on a project/product with customersoutside the US, work in a team with members from different countries, and work in a globallydistributed team, were also found. Students who studied abroad and international studentsperceived themselves to be better prepared to work globally.Institutional data were analyzed to identify any areas in which we can make improvements forstudents or that can demonstrate value of international programs to students. For example, weexamined the average deviation from expected number of semesters to graduation for thesepopulations of students. We found no significant difference in the time to graduate for studentswho have or have not studied abroad. This information is shared with students to help eliminaterelated concerns they may prevent them from participating in such an experience.These data are now used to inform current students of the importance and advantages of studyingabroad and to address any reservations that they may have. For example, students who studiedabroad reported having more full-time job interviews than students who did not study abroad.Senior exit survey data analyses results are being used to inform programming decisions fordomestic and international students and the use of limited resources. These data are also used toidentify issues that specifically pertain to international students.
