This mixed methods study examined the impact of three faculty-led short-term summer study abroad courses in a leadership studies curriculum. Through the lens of Seemiller's student leadership competencies, survey data from six student cohorts revealed growth in key competency clusters, particularly personal behavior, self-awareness and development, civic responsibility, and learning and reasoning. Short-term study abroad helped students develop leadership skills such as functioning independently, responding to ambiguity, emotional intelligence, and social responsibility. These leadership competencies help augment students' college experiences, as well as provide them with enhanced career readiness.
