| Abstract
|
:
|
Undergraduate Muslim international students in American universities continue to grow in large numbers, however, this population of students face several challenges related to their racial/ethnic, religious, and gender identities. These challenges tend to influence their academic and social experiences and, ultimately, their overall integration on campus. Yet, much of the research has not focused specifically on this population of students even though their experiences are unique and worthy of exploration. Therefore, the purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to understand and describe the lived experiences of degree-seeking undergraduate Muslim international students on American campuses. Specifically, the study explored the racial/ethnic, religious, and gender experiences of this population, as well as the influence of those experiences on their academic and social integration. This phenomenological study included semi-structured interviews with eight students who attended four-year public national universities in the Western region of the US.
