Study abroad attempts to prepare students to effectively work in a multi-national environment. This study compares students' experiences in a unit operations laboratory course offered in multiple modalities: at students' home university, and four- and eight-week study abroad. The results examine the impact of support on students' learning and dictate that program leaders should anticipate and prepare students for potential areas of panic. They should also purposefully leave room for growth in prioritized learning outcomes.
