To assess the impact of business students’ international experience during college on their post-graduation careers, the authors of this study surveyed alumni from The Kelly School of Business at Indiana University who were five to ten years into their careers. The goal of the research was to determine the impact of international experience on alumni’s career paths. In addition, the survey sought to compare the career paths of alumni who studied abroad to those who did not study abroad.
