American expatriate failure rates are costly to organizations and pose career threats for American expatriates (Varner & Palmer, 2003). Previous researchers have conducted studies to understand the reasons behind American expatriate failure (e.g., Black & Gregersen, 1998; Tye & Chen, 2005; Varner & Palmer, 2003), resulting in findings that suggest American expatriates fail at higher rates than other expatriate groups for reasons including (a) failure to adapt, (b) a lack of cultural awareness and sensitivity, (c) repatriate concerns, and (d) domestic problems (Black & Gregersen, 1998; Tye & Chen, 2005; Varner & Palmer, 2003). What has not been studied is the role that formal post secondary global management education has on American expatriate success. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to address the research hypotheses. The Spearman rank order correlation coefficient was used for hypothesis 1. Hypothesis 2 was not answered. A significant relationship between 2 factors but the relationships were not meaningful. Hypothesis 2 could not be answered as it did not seem to matter where or at what level the participant received their international education as long as they had some.
