The GLOBAL COMPETENCY RESEARCH CONSORTIUM A Ten-Year International Research Consortium of Universities and Study Abroad Programs

The Global Competency Research Consortium (GCRC) brings together universities and study abroad programs to measure, document, and certify the professional, personal, and experiential competencies students develop abroad. The GCRC is a multi-country, ten-year longitudinal research initiative designed to better understand and measure the added value and long-term impact of study abroad programs.

It addresses a key question for parents, students, communities, and study abroad managers: How much will participating in a study abroad program actually improve a student’s career prospects?
