When evaluating the effectiveness of study abroad programs, students overwhelmingly report that they continue to develop their self-confidence and world view as a result of their study abroad experience once they return home. This article presents a study that uses the intercultural development inventory (IDI) to address whether or not students' cultural learning continued to improve four months after returning from their study abroad experience.
