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.

探索影响商科学生出国留学意愿的个体因素：以加勒比海为例

摘要尽管加勒比海地区学生出国学习计划的参与率较低，但有关有助于确定商科学生是否愿意出国学习或参加国外实习计划的个人因素的研究不足。本研究旨在探讨商科学生对出国留学的态度。学生对出国留学或实习的积极看法提出了一些有关商科学生流出国外学习或参加国外实习的个别因素的疑问。本研究还探讨了商科学生对短期和长期国际学习或出国实习以及在国际商务中的认证课程的偏爱。此外，它还提供了一些对更可能支持这些计划的商科学生的了解。
