IIE has released a new report, The World is the New Classroom: Non-Credit Education Abroad, to capture the range of Non-Credit Education Abroad (NCEA) activities that U.S. students are pursuing, and to provide tools for the higher education field to better understand how to define and track the non-credit activities their students are undertaking. NCEA activities are largely under-reported, and this study shows that students are pursuing a range of NCEA activities that go beyond non-credit work, internships and volunteer abroad (WIVA) including conducting research or field work, presenting at academic conferences, competing in athletic events, and engaging in the performing arts. It is crucial for higher education institutions to actively seek information on what their students are already pursuing overseas so that they can be prepared to provide international experiences that meet the growing demand.
