Numerous studies explore international students’ challenges adapting to the receiving country; however, limited research investigates their experiences with intercultural competence. Thus, a phenomenological study was conducted to investigate the lived experiences of 12 international students with intercultural competence at a Southwest Florida university. The constant comparison method identified three dimensions of the participants’ lived experiences: institutional, curricular, and interpersonal. The findings indicated a lack of intercultural competence in each dimension, significantly impacting students’ academic and social experiences.</p>}, number={1}, journal={International Journal of Multicultural Education}, author={Halpern, Clarisse and Halpern, Bruno and Aydin, Hasan}, year={2022}, month={Apr.}, pages={47–67} }
