Stylus Publishing (VA) Student Learning Abroad - Michael Vande Berg

Student Learning Abroad examines what students genuinely acquire through international education programmes and identifies critical gaps in their learning outcomes. Authored by Michael Vande Berg, vice president for Academic Affairs at the Council on International Educational Exchange, this book draws on extensive research and leadership experience across major institutions including Georgetown University, Michigan State University, and Kalamazoo College. The work addresses fundamental questions about the effectiveness of study abroad initiatives, exploring not only what students successfully learn but also where their development falls short. Vande Berg brings decades of expertise in international education and intercultural learning to provide actionable recommendations for improving student outcomes in global learning environments. This comprehensive analysis is essential reading for educators, administrators, and programme designers seeking to strengthen the impact and rigour of international study experiences.
