The National Student Exchange (NSE) program allows you to study at one of nearly 200 institutions throughout the United States, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Small liberal arts colleges, universities in urban settings, and Spanish-speaking universities are among the many exchange options available to students.
NSE offers unique and exciting opportunities to challenge yourself, enhance your academic portfolio, and establish new connections. In addition, participation in the NSE program gives you a distinct advantage with potential employers who regard studying away as a demonstration of adaptability and willingness to try new things.
Exchange through NSE can be tailored to fit your academic, social, and financial needs. You will have the option of paying in-state tuition and fees at your host institution (NSE Plan A) or UI tuition and fees (NSE Plan B). While most students elect to participate in the NSE program for an entire academic year, it is possible to attend an institution for a single semester.
