This study explored international undergraduate female students’ narratives on the importance of religion and spirituality in their international sojourn. Using a narrative case study, I interviewed six students (three Christian and three Hindu students) to discuss the importance of religion/spirituality in their lives in a new country. I also explored the changes in the student’s religious identity, beliefs, and practices after coming to a new country. Finally, I studied the students’ suggestions on how American universities can support their religious and spiritual needs. This study adds to the limited research on this topic. The findings will help universities and university counseling centers better serve international students.Format: OnlineenHigher education administrationNarrative case studiesFaith in a foreign land: acculturation and the religious and spiritual experiences of international studentsText
