Journal of International Education and Leadership, v4 n1 Spr 2014
International education is an increasingly important part of business programs throughout the world. This paper investigates the willingness of Kuwaiti business students to study abroad. It tests the hypotheses that student willingness to study abroad is related to a number of variables, including self-efficacy, perceived benefit of study abroad, language ability, previous international experience and having friends and family with international experience. Implications for designing and marketing business study abroad programs are addressed.
