National Student Exchange
The National Student Exchange (NSE) is a member-based, not-for-profit consortium of accredited colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands that provides study away opportunities among its member institutions.Rather than crossing oceans and continents, thinking globally begins for NSE students by crossing state, regional, provincial, and cultural borders to experience a change of people, place, and opportunity.Studying for a term or academic year at a member campus allows NSE students to take courses not available on their home campuses, expand their academic program options, acquire life skills, reside in a different region, be exposed to diverse cultural settings, seek out graduate and professional schools, and explore career options.NSE is a program that responds to institutional objectives for globalization, cultural diversity, and other off-campus learning initiatives.NSE invites applications for membership from colleges and universities that are: baccalaureate-granting institutions located in the United States, and its territories; institutions regionally accredited (United States); committed to providing the quality of service practiced by NSE members.
