Education abroad and the undergraduate experience : critical perspectives and approaches to integration with student learning and development / edited by Elizabeth Brewer and Anthony C. Ogden ; foreword by Brian Whalen.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"This volume focuses on two questions. First, how can education abroad be embedded into undergraduate education so that students experience it as an integral component of their education and something they help shape, rather than as time away from their education and as a commodity to be consumed? Second, how can colleges and universities maximize the educational value of education abroad by forging stronger connections between it and other undergraduate experiences? The volume argues that learning abroad be positioned within the work of the larger institution and students' overall education. Organized within three sections, this volume makes the case that learning abroad must be positioned within the work of the larger institution and students' overall education. In doing so, it questions many current assumptions and stimulates thinking about the power of an integrative approach to education abroad to lead to lasting educative value. An integrative approach requires that students be afforded multiple opportunities and ongoing support to draw connections with their learning abroad with other dimensions of their undergraduate education"-- Provided by publisher.
