In this study, we assessed student engagement during a short-term, faculty-led criminal justice study-abroad course using elements of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). Study abroad education has been identified as a high-impact learning strategy but significant evidence to support its efficacy is limited, particularly when delivered in a short-term format. This study is a partial replication of Rourke & Kanuka's Student Engagement and Study Abroad study (2012). We administered a pre/post survey comprised of selected NSSE and criminal justice content-specific questions to a total of 101 undergraduate students at a major metropolitan university. The surveys were administered over a period of two years from five different courses traveling to three different destinations for study abroad education. A comparison of responses from the pre- and post-tests indicated that student engagement increased after participation in their short-term study abroad program. Student knowledge of international criminal justice systems also improved. The study results are limited by a small sample size which required a non-paired, pre- and post-testing comparison. Future research should focus on engaging a larger sample size which would allow for matched pre- and post-testing.
