WELCOME TO THE NATIONAL STUDENT EXCHANGE!
The National Student Exchange, a domestic parallel to study abroad, is the only comprehensive, university-level, tuition-reciprocal, student exchange program in the United States. Now with university partners in Canada, NSE's exchange sites reflect a diverse group of 200 universities in 48 states, the District of Columbia, 3 U.S. territories, and 6 Canadian provinces. These universities have joined NSE in order to share their resources and to expand student experiences and academic programs in exciting and cost-effective ways.
NSE provides to its member institutions:
- Expansion of course offerings
- Assistance with multicultural objectives
- Enhancement of recruitment and retention initiatives
- Potential for inter-campus joint programming
- Access to numerous international programs of member campuses
- Exchange among university honors programs
- Resident assistant exchanges
- Access to internships and research options
- Tuition reciprocity
- Portability of federally-funded financial aid
Founded in 1968, NSE is a not-for-profit, membership consortium which has placed more than 90,000 students. The National Student Exchange provides inter-institutional exchange/study opportunities whereby students may grow academically and personally as well as develop a greater appreciation for the diversity of our country and our culture. The program is a model for sharing of academic resources among a nationwide network of colleges and universities. A major benefit of NSE is expanded academic opportunities for students.
Since 1968, NSE membership has grown as has NSE's scope, mission, and service to member universities and exchange students. Throughout these years, NSE continues to be recognized for its unique contribution to the higher education community and for its vision, caring, professionalism, and quality service.
"Our students return to Stony Brook with a wider perspective, a greater appreciation of what our campus has to offer, and what the United States has to offer. Their world no longer begins and ends within a 60-mile radius."
