Abstract
The percentage of community college students who complete a program to earn a degree or certificate is less than 50 % and the time it takes most community college students to complete their program is generally longer than three years (AACC 2015). Research shows that when specific programmatic changes are introduced to the community college environment there is evidence for success (Crosta 2013). The California Community College Student Outcomes Abroad Research Project (CCC SOAR) conducted a multivariate regression analysis on students who studied abroad and those who did not to see if the programmatic change of studying abroad influenced student success (Raby et al. 2014). Bergen Community College and Brookdale Community College in New Jersey used a variation of the CCC SOAR methodology to assess the impact of study abroad on student success (Thomas et al. 2015). The importance of this study is that by using a similar process in three different contexts there is an increased reliability in the findings. The ensuing analysis is significant because it adds to the growing body of literature which supports the positive impact of study abroad on student success:
