Abstract	Amidst a policy context that is ardently promoting participation in world politics, trade, and cultural exchange, institutions of higher education are increasingly committing their campuses to preparing students for professional and civic lives in a globalized world. Yet among the many approaches taken by institutions to internationalize their campuses, career development and career counseling are underutilized methods of preparing students for international careers. This study examines the effects of an international career exploration module in general education classes on students' interest in and knowledge of international career options, arguing that the use of such a module is an effective component of preparing students for international careers.
