Barriers to studying abroad in college range from cost and family concerns to limited course flexibility. 

While some college students choose to study abroad as a way to expose themselves to varying cultures and

languages, others do so to build workforce skills or prepare for a potential international career after graduation.

​

But barriers such as cost, family concerns, limited course flexibility and lack of knowledge about

available experiences prevent many students from going abroad in college. Students of color,

in particular, are underrepresented in these programs: 70% of U.S. students who study abroad are white,

according to the 2021 Open Doors report, which is annually produced by the Institute of International

Education and the U.S. Department of State.

​

Many colleges and nonprofit organizations are looking to make study abroad programs more accessible by

offering scholarship options, differing curricula and passport assistance.
