Abstract	Global learning experiences, frequently denoted as "study abroad," are attractive mainstays of many conventional undergraduate institutions. These experiences push students out of their comfort zones, afford them an authentic environment in which to practice a foreign language, and lend context to concepts learned in the classroom. Unfortunately, global learning experiences, as they are typically offered, are the most expensive and time consuming of Kuh's (2008) ten high-impact practices. Student participants must finance their travel and accommodations in addition to the cost of the program, and the opportunity cost is often an entire semester. However, some institutions are beginning to offer short-term global engagement experiences, either during an institutional holiday or embedded within a traditional semester-long course on campus. When planned with intention and managed with an open mind, faculty and facilitators can provide students who participate in short-term study abroad experiences with as much depth and significance of experience as their semester-long study abroad counterparts gain. (As Provided).
