Abstract

This book chapter aims to provide a detailed case study with supporting data on how the University of California, Riverside has engaged underrepresented study abroad student populations and has made progress toward increasing the number and diversity of students going abroad. It opens by reviewing the relevant literature and providing necessary context of the University and its recent history with short-term, faculty-led study abroad programs. Analyzing relevant student data collected through a survey and focus group leads into sharing a few key strategies undergirding the success and growth of participation in study abroad by underrepresented groups. This chapter focuses on low income students, but also includes a discussion of ethnic minorities, first generation students, male students, and those from STEM-related majors.
