dc.description.abstractEnrollment of U.S. students in study abroad programs grew consistently in the past three decades motivated by student interest, campus internationalization efforts, and government incentives. Nevertheless, enrollment disproportionality between White and non-White students has persisted. Researchers have attempted to identify factors that can explain the racial and ethnic disproportionality and help colleges and universities increase participation of non-White students in study abroad. The available literature on the topic has focused on comparisons between students who participate in study abroad and those who do not based on historic data. This study investigated factors that could predict study abroad participation based on information collected from current-cycle study abroad applicants to predict those at risk of not confirming participation. The findings of this study support using social, personal, and institutional factors as predictors of participation. This study also identified variations on how those factors operate based on race and ethnicity. Such findings may help universities design interventions for more equitable participation in study abroad among students of all races and ethnicities.en_US
