Compelling research on the study abroad field is increasingly focused on examining the holistic impact of student satisfaction to study abroad programs in response to global demand for competitive and internationalized experience. However, there is still a lack of analysis to examine and distinguishsatisfaction within the context of student academic levels. Hence, in this paper, I examined how the academic level of students participating in study abroad programs determines the level of satisfaction with study abroad programs. Initial results indicate a significant decrease in study abroad program satisfaction in graduate students. Also, this paper presents theoretical reasons to support the analysis.
