Previous research has demonstrated that study abroad programs provide students with a range of benefits, and that these benefits can transform learners into global citizens. Current research is heavily qualitative and anecdotal. While this type of research is important, there is a lack of quantitative analysis of gains through travel study. Even less is known about short-term study abroad programs lasting only a few weeks. Sustainability along the Yangtze is a short-term program offered by University of Colorado's Geography and Environmental Sciences department. As the explicit goal of the course is to support goals of its home department, Geography and Environmental Sciences, the current study aimed to determine what impact the program had on students' understandings in space and place in China through a series of mapping exercises, surveys, and interviews. This work showed that participants' geographic knowledge increased, and they could more accurately map cities traveled through, despite the fact that maps were not used as part of the curriculum. Students' understandings of culture shifted and they gained an overall more positive perception of China and Chinese culture. This research may inform additional study to better understand how knowledge of space and place is influenced through short-term study abroad programs.
