This study both supports and expands the growing body of evidence that there are positive career outcomes associated study abroad and cultural engagement. Consistent with previous studies, study abroad alumni report that their interest in study abroad influenced their choice of college. This intention to study abroad before starting at university is positively related to the career benefit that alumni report deriving from their time abroad. Dependent measures include work ethic, skills development, and career choices. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of our findings for both program development and student engagement in and preparation for study abroad. Abstract in French Cette étude soutient et élargit le corpus croissant de preuves selon lesquelles des résultats de carrière positifs sont associés aux études à l'étranger et à l'engagement culturel. Conformément aux études précédentes, les anciens étudiants qui étudient à l'étranger indiquent que leur intérêt pour les études à l'étranger a influencé leur choix d'université. Cette intention d'étudier à l'étranger avant de commencer à l'université est positivement liée aux avantages de carrière que les diplômés déclarent tirer de leur séjour à l'étranger. Les variables dépendantes comprennent l'éthique de travail, le développement des compétences et les choix de carrière. Le document se termine par une discussion des implications de nos résultats pour le développement de programmes, l'engagement des étudiants et la préparation aux études à l'étranger
