Black or African American undergraduates remain marginalized from the benefits of studying abroad. For instance, scholars Jacqueline Murray Brux and Blake Fry offer a list of six barriers minoritized students face when considering education abroad.

Learning Objectives:
Define self-efficacy in college students and describe the instrument used to assess it.
Revisit Brux and Fry’s list of barriers to education abroad and offer an updated list.
Describe various recommendations for practice at attendees’ home institutions.
