Previous research has documented the lack of studies centered around students' sustainability behavior at higher education institutions as well as the gap of studying international students' behavior change once they start their education at US institutions. This study evaluated how the sustainability behavior of international students changed when they did an exchange program at a US university in the southeast. By applying the Social Cognitive Theory, this research studied the change of the self-efficacy, attitude, interest, and motivation of international students while engaged in sustainability actions. Three sustainability behaviors were studied: recycling, reusing, and composting. Leadership, importance of resource to users, and collective-choice rules variables from the Social-Ecological Systems framework were also applied to understand how sustainability on-campus is implemented and how people of leadership impact the self-efficacy, attitude, interest, and motivation of international students to be engaged in sustainability. A mixed methods approach was followed to collect data. For students, methods included: an initial and final survey using Likert scale, interviews, focus group discussions, and observations of participation in recycling activities. Moreover, staff from the Center for Sustainable Development and Center for International Education were interviewed. The goals of this study were to fill in previous research gaps and examine the willingness of international students to transfer and/or improve their sustainability behavior when they study at new campuses. The last section of this project provided applicable recommendations for enhancing the sustainability behavior of Lebanese students at higher education institutions in Lebanon in the form of policy recommendations.
