What is NSE?

National Student Exchange offers study away at colleges and universities throughout the United States, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. You can spend a semester or the academic year at another university. If you are interested in new challenges or just need a change of pace, NSE may be for you. NSE has 170+ campuses available for Fall 2025 and Spring 2026. Apply TODAY!

Why NSE?

NSE is affordable. Most students continue to pay tuition to their home campus while on exchange. Others will pay in-state resident tuition to the their host campus. And most financial aid applies.

NSE is accessible. Beyond being affordable, NSE is also accessible. No passport is required (other than Canada-U.S. exchange) and our eligibility requirements are minimal. F-1 international students are eligible. As are DACA and undocumented students.

NSE enhances your academics. NSE students take classes that apply to degree requirements and/or take classes not available at your home campus. Find campuses with your major.

NSE offers adventure. Exchange to a campus different than your own! Experience a large research university or perhaps a small private college. Exchange to a big city campus, a campus near the beach, in the mountains, or a campus in a college town. Exchange to a Multicultural Serving Institution (MSI) including HBCUs, HSIs, and AANAPISIs. Or perhaps check out Puerto Rico or Canada.
