Abstract	Studying abroad is arguably one of higher education's most effective ways of developing students' global competency and preparing them to enter a global workforce. This study explores the relationship between demographic characteristics, college experiences (personal, social, and academic), and study abroad participation among college students. This study first summarizes previous findings on how college students view and make decisions about study abroad opportunities. Next, data from the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) is used to examine how campus engagement impacts a student's propensity to study abroad. Findings reveal that gender, race, major, and SES are important predictors of participation in study abroad. More important, the results of the study also reveal that academic experiences specific to diversity and societal awareness increased propensity to study abroad. (As Provided).
