Psychosocial Adjustment of International Students: Cross-Group Analysis of Exchange and Degree-Seeking Students

• In Event: Poster Session 4
  In Poster Session: Globalization in Postsecondary/Higher Education

Abstract

Over the past decade, many internationalization initiatives in higher education have helped study abroad programs prosper not only in the United States, but also elsewhere, by creating partnerships between institutions. However, despite growing interest in expanding higher education to embrace globalization, little attention has been paid to understanding the psychosocial adjustment experiences of international undergraduate students in American higher education. Therefore, the present study attempts to investigate these experiences by looking at two subgroups among international students: exchange students and degree-seeking students.
