Abstract	Despite a low rate of student participation in study abroad programs in the Caribbean, there is insufficient research about the individual factors that help determine business students' willingness to study or to participate in internship programs abroad. This study aims to explore business students' attitudes toward study abroad. The positive perceptions of students toward study or internship abroad raises questions about individual factors for business students' outflow to study or participate in an internship abroad. This study also explores business students' preferences for short- and long-term international study or internship abroad, as well as certification programs in international business. Moreover, it provides some insight into the segments of business students that are more likely to support these programs. (As Provided).
