Introduction
This report aims to quantify and compare the statistics of the study abroad trends for Grand Valley State University during the 2017-2018 Academic Year. The population in this data includes undergraduate and graduate students that have participated in GVSU Partnership, non- GVSU, Faculty-Led, internships, or independent study programs. Not-for credit GVSU field trips have NOT been included in this data report.
The data in this report were collected from the Padnos International Center’s OASIS application platform, which first included the ability to report information in 2008. We also retrieved data from the United States Census Bureau, National Statistics Source: Open Doors 2003/04-2014/15. The data in this report may not be completely accurate.
During Academic Year 2017-2018, 661 Grand Valley State University students participated in study abroad programs (decreased by 13.02% from the previous year). These programs include 47 countries, spanning over 5 continents (decreased by 4.08% from the previous year). Consistent with national trends, Europe was the most popular continent for students with a 56% of all participants. United Kingdom is the most popular destination, with a 13% participation rate (37.5% increase from the year before). In the order of popularity, following Spain (11%, 15.6% decrease), Ghana (8%, 5% increase), Italy (7%, 20% decrease). In Grand Valley State University, female students have a 76% participation rate in studying abroad, which is 52% more than male students.
With the data we have, we could conclude that the total number of Grand Valley State University students that participated in study abroad decreased compared to the previous year (by 13.02%). Also, the participation rate by country popularity changed significantly. We are seeing increased popularity in African countries and Latin American countries. The trend of studying abroad has started to change; the regions are now more diverse than the previous year.
