The mixed-methods approach seeks first to identify the common experiences that international students have learning and using intercultural competence and then to highlight the unique stories of the participants gathered from interviews and written responses. The study concludes that challenges associated with learning intercultural competence are quite normal for international students, but also that these challenges move the students to a greater appreciation and understanding of cultural diversity. In many cases, the participants went on to greatly impact their social circles by both modeling and teaching others the skills that they learned during their studies in the U.S. The findings of this study further highlight the value of an international education at fostering cooperation and peace between people of diverse backgrounds.
