Abstract

This chapter examines how short-term and semester-based study abroad programs within the Global Degree Learning model foster transformative learning. Students progressed from initial disorientation to reflection, meaning reconstruction, and reintegration, developing intercultural competence, self-awareness, resilience, and critical thinking. Intentional program design enhances these holistic personal and academic transformations. The insights have implications for high education leaders and policy makers.
