In the present study, the linkages between study abroad participation, participation in other high-impact educational practices, and participation in co-curricular activities were examined. It was the purpose of the study to determine if study abroad participants also chose to participate in multiple other high-impact educational practices and co-curricular activities at significantly higher rates than their peers who did not study abroad. The present study demonstrated that many students who study abroad tend toward multiple-participation (e.g., participation in multiple voluntary activities) when controlling for race/ethnicity, gender, and academic major. While multiple-participation was established among many study abroad subgroups, the current study was not able to substantiate multiple-participation among all student subgroups.
