Description

This presentation will show significant differences in students' satisfaction between faculty-led study abroad programs and non-faculty-led programs. Principal component analysis (PCA) results for student satisfaction in program contents indicated slightly different characteristics between the two groups. Although this presentation focuses on one aspect of a whole faculty-led program, the findings can be applied to improve study abroad programs in terms of student satisfaction.
