What we know for sure

Nearly 80% of college students want to study abroad...

But fewer than 10% of students actually do it. That's not a student problem. It's an industry problem.

Study abroad changes lives, and the field still struggles to say why in a way students, parents and provosts actually hear. Lead with the brownie, bake in the kale.

We have to sing for our supper: prove our value with data, market like we mean it, and talk honestly about the inside-baseball stuff like pricing, pay and the passion tax.

Inside Study Abroad exists to pull back the curtain. Candid conversations, practical playbooks, and where the field is headed next.
