Overview

The National Student Exchange program offers students the chance to study at one of over 180 member universities within the United States, its territories, and Canada.

Students participate in an exchange for a variety of reasons. One typical motivator is the desire to live in another locale. In our increasingly mobile society, exposure to different historical and cultural perspectives is often an eye opening experience for students who have resided in one geographic area. From an academic viewpoint, the host school may offer access to specific coursework that is not available at the home institution.

Additionally, a student considering a post baccalaureate degree may use the opportunity to investigate a potential graduate or professional school. Regardless of the rationale, it is typical for returning NSE students to cite the experience as a time of strong personal and academic growth.

Eligibility

• Full-time enrollment at the home campus prior to exchange

• Cumulative 2.5 GPA or better

• Good standing (academic, personal, and financial)

Length of Exchange
You may participate in NSE for a single term or a full academic year.

Cost
Washington State University students pay $200 application fee in addition to regular WSU tuition.
