 note = {In the US, a wide range of stakeholders, including the federal government, nongovernmental agencies, and higher education institutions, realize the importance of equipping students with international and intercultural competencies. Study abroad, a form of internationalization of higher education, is widely viewed as a method to achieve these goals. Compared to other institutional types in the US, many liberal arts colleges have a high study abroad participation rate. Liberal arts colleges provide a unique context to explore study abroad due to their focus on undergraduate education and the importance placed upon study abroad as one of the main centerpieces of internationalization efforts. With the growing focus on increasing study abroad participation rates, this exploratory case study examines the rationales of liberal arts college students from the US who studied abroad in Japan for one year. Empirical data from qualitative in-depth interviews identified the following emergent themes in the individual decision-making process: home institution, family, ethnic heritage, future ambitions, host institution, and liberal arts education., 論説, Articles},
