This paper presents the concept of worldview and its relevance to business programs, and offers an assessment rubric for evaluating the extent to which travel/study courses used to internationalize the business curriculum are successful at developing students' worldview. Results from a pilot application of the rubric for program-related assessment using papers from three "international practicum"; experiences are presented, and we note ways in which student essays reflect development of worldview as a learning outcome of the experience.
