Contact the National Student Exchange
The National Student Exchange (NSE) is a program for undergraduate exchange within the United States and Canada. Instead of crossing oceans, NSE students cross state, regional, provincial and cultural borders. The program provides an exciting opportunity to attend one of 175 colleges and universities at in-state tuition or at little or no more cost than you now pay!
"It is the experience of a lifetime. Go somewhere that you can truly see yourself. Be open to new people, cultures and a new routine. Travel as much as you can! Do road trips, take hikes, step outside of your comfort zone! You will not regret it."Leah Esper, Fall 2018
Requirements
- Be a full-time student for the term prior to exchange
- Have a 2.8 GPA at the time of application and at completion of the term prior to exchange
- Apply early (We recommend that students go on exchange as sophomores or juniors, which means applying as freshmen or sophomores)
- Good standing (academic, personal, and financial) with the university
- Attend an NSE Information Session
