Thesis (Ph.D.)--The College of William and Mary, 2015.

Study abroad opportunities in college are important ways for students to see the world during a formative time in their identity development (Jones & Abes, 2013; Moran, 2005). The focus of this study was to examine the impact of a faculty-led, immersive short-term study abroad to Florence, Italy, on college student identity development. I utilized the seminal work of Chickering and Reisser (1993) as my theoretical framework because this theory allowed for a focus on identity development situated in the larger development of the college student.

520 $a Study abroad opportunities in college are important ways for students to see the world during a formative time in their identity development (Jones & Abes, 2013; Moran, 2005). The focus of this study was to examine the impact of a faculty-led, immersive short-term study abroad to Florence, Italy, on college student identity development. I utilized the seminal work of Chickering and Reisser (1993) as my theoretical framework because this theory allowed for a focus on identity development situated in the larger development of the college student.
520 $a A qualitative research approach guided my study. All seven of the female participants were traditionally aged and either of sophomore or junior status. From the findings emerged themes of confidence, new identity, and increased peer support. The dissonance implicit in a short-term, immersive study abroad experience made it ripe for affinity groups to be created. This research found that affinity groups within the larger group developed because of the need by some of the students to find havens of safety within smaller groups of their classmates. Additionally, students developed varying levels of intercultural competency because of the short-term study abroad program.
520 $a The findings justify the importance of a short-term study abroad during a critical developmental phase in a college student's life. Given the importance of the study abroad experience to identity development and learning for students, institutions seeking to internationalize their campuses should promote these opportunities for the broadest array of students.
