Abstract	Asian and Asian American students comprise 7.5% of all participants in U.S. study abroad, compared to 9% Hispanic, 4.7% African American or Black, and 71.2% White students. However, beyond one large-scale study of academic outcomes, only three studies--all with fewer than four participants--have investigated the study abroad experiences and learning outcomes of this population. This brief begins to respond to this knowledge gap by drawing on in-depth accounts of Asian and Asian American students undertaking study abroad, with the goal of highlighting the academic, language, and identity development experiences and learning outcomes of their participation. In this research-to-practice brief, a member of the "Frontiers" team, a practitioner in the field, and a researcher at the RAISE Center at Wake Forest University came together to explore the experiences and learning outcomes of Asian and Asian American students in study abroad.
