The purpose of this study was to use existing data from the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) to examine the relationship between student engagement indicators and NCAA Division I student-athletes’ participation in high-impact practices, specifically internships and study abroad. Student engagement indicators were the independent variables in this study and included academic challenge, learning with peers, experiences with faculty, and campus environment. This study examined a sample of senior student-athletes enrolled at an NCAA Division I institution who completed NSSE in 2019 (N = 1,794). This study utilized descriptive, correlation, and logistic regression to answer the research questions. After controlling for student demographic characteristics, student engagement indicators predicted student-athletes’ participation in internships. The variables learning with peers and experiences with faculty were statistically significant, while academic challenge and campus environment were not significant. Student engagement indicators also predicted student-athletes’ participation in study abroad, with academic challenge being significant, while the other engagement indicators were not significant. The findings from this study suggest that to create an environment that fosters student-athletes’ participation in internships and study abroad, institutions need to facilitate ways to increase student-athletes’ engagement. The findings from this study provide insight to practitioners interested in increasing the number of students who participate in high-impact practices.
