ABSTRACT
Despite overlap in intended learning outcomes between education abroad (also known as study abroad) and leadership education, and comparable research agendas, findings about the relationship between education abroad and leadership, or the impact of education abroad on leadership competencies, is limited. However, existing research on education abroad shows how many intentionally designed programmatic outcomes match well with those documented by leadership educators and vice versa, offering fresh insight into the impact on leadership from education abroad. This article addresses how leadership development can be an educational outcome of an education abroad experience, even if the program is not a leadership course.
