Abstract:
The need for international experiences has never been greater, but what is the acceptance and
participation on a regional level? This purpose of this paper is to consider the interest level of students at
a Midwest university compared to national trends and the factors that contributes to or subtracts from the
students’ level of participation. This project is attempting to determine the level of openness and support
of international education programs on a regional level compared to national trends. Also under
consideration will be regional perceptions for the need of international experiences.
