- Abstract
Today's college graduates must be prepared to think critically about complex global issues. Study abroad programs can be a great learning opportunity for students. The purpose of this study was to explore the impacts a short-term study abroad experience had on students' critical thinking. A reflective journaling process was implemented while on a study abroad program in Belize guided by the conceptual framework proposed by Roberts et al. Results revealed participation in a shortterm study abroad program to Belize focused on agricultural issues resulted in expression of critical thinking, although students did not demonstrate all types of critical thinking. Based on these results, recommendations for future short-term study abroad programs are provided.
