Dr. Meg Nolan, assistant professor of Global Business, and Dr. Peggy Hickman, associate professor and chair of the School of Education, published an article in the latest issue of Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad. 

Titled “Developing Intercultural Competence Through Short-Term Study Abroad Programs: A Qualitative Case Study,” their journal article examines the development of intercultural competence in undergraduate students after participating in two separate short-term study abroad (STSA) programs offered at a university in the United States.

Drs. Nolan and Hickman gathered student testimonials, stories, descriptions, and feelings about their STSA experiences to gain a multifaceted understanding of these students’ intercultural competencies. These findings also helped them to identify the students’ views on the use of varied pedagogy in their development of intercultural competence.
