The number of education abroad programs offered at community colleges has not grown appreciable in the last few decades. In their article in the latest edition of
IIENetworker magazine, Rosalind Latiner Raby and Gary M. Rhodes examine current obstacles that need to be addressed in an effort to increase community college education abroad enrollment. "Currently, only 5,000 of the 13 million community college students study abroad," write Raby and Rhodes. "Providing more choices to even 1 percent of these 13 million students would lead to a substantial increase overall."
