Studying overseas in agricultural biosciences can develop college students’ cultural, tutorial, and communication abilities and improve employability. However, in the United States, discussions of research overseas are restricted to both one-way directionality (U.S. college students to different nations) or to the experiences of worldwide college students who come to the United States for diploma applications.

We analyzed the views and experiences of finding out overseas by Zamorano University (Honduras) college students who accomplished an agricultural bioscience pasantía (four-month internship) throughout the remaining yr of their undergraduate program. We used combined strategies to gather information by way of focus group discussions and a survey with Zamorano college students who had accomplished a pasantía in 2017, in addition to key informant interviews with Zamorano pasantía coordinators.

Study-abroad experiences have been in contrast between college students who accomplished their pasantía in the United States (37%) and those that accomplished their pasantía in any of 17 different nations worldwide. Significant relationships have been recognized (p < 0.05) between: doing a pasantía in the United States (in contrast with going elsewhere) and enhancing science and theoretical information; having a hands-on expertise and science and idea enchancment; enhancing communication and confidence in utilizing scientific strategies. The Zamorano pasantía mannequin lends insights into the worth of research overseas for agricultural bioscience training.
