Abstract

This study investigates perceptions of administrators of a dual diploma high school program on international students’ college transition experiences. Specifically, we focus on a group of higher education administrators who operate a dual diploma program between the study institution and high schools in Brazil. It is important to gather qualitative feedback from administrators to make program decisions. Using Schlossberg’s Theory of Transition (1984) as the theoretical framework, this study follows a set interview protocol to investigate the role the dual diploma program has in aiding transition to college. The findings show multiple perceived student benefits after the completion of the dual diploma high school program as well as student affairs practices that can empower international students to overcome their transitional challenges. This study generates enhanced understanding of international students’ college transition experiences after graduation from the program, and sheds light on how institutions can improve student services for dual diploma programs focusing on international students.
