• Short-term programs of eight weeks or less are an increasingly prevalent option for study abroad. Yet, the effectiveness of these programs in promoting intercultural competence remains unclear. This systematic review examined the methodology and outcomes of quantitative and qualitative empirical research on short-term study abroad published between 2004 and 2021. Characteristics of the 68 studies identified (e.g., n-sizes, home campus locations, research designs) and outcomes for multiple dimensions of intercultural competence are summarized. Methodological and conceptual weaknesses in this research literature and strategies for addressing these weaknesses are discussed.
