| Abstract | This study contributes new evidence on the factors associated with undergraduate study abroad participation and post-college civic engagement, with particular attention on the moderating influence of first-generation college student status. Drawing on Education Longitudinal Study 2002-2012 data, this study analyzes how students' ascribed characteristics, academic achievement, and college environment are associated with the likelihood to study abroad during college, as well as the influence these factors have on students' likelihood to vote, volunteer, and donate after college. The results uncovered important evidence across all of this study's outcomes. Cultural capital in the form of having at least one foreign-born parent and frequently going on family vacations were significant positive predictors of study abroad participation. A more nuanced result found that first-generation student status moderated the relationship of precollege parental involvement and study abroad participation. For civic engagement, study abroad is associated with post-college volunteering when controlling for a host of precollege and college variables, including propensities to study abroad. Moreover, first-generation status moderated the relationship between study abroad and post-college voting. In addition, parental involvement was found to be a significant predictor for post-college civic engagement. These findings inform our understanding of the factors most critical for increasing the likelihood of participating in study abroad and civic life. More importantly, these findings offer support for the idea that a study abroad experience is a civic education tool. Practitioners and researchers can utilize these findings to understand the relationship between study abroad and civic engagement and first-generation college student status moderates this relationship.
