What is National Student Exchange (NSE)?


National Student Exchange is a consortium of U.S. and Canadian colleges and universities, including the University of Minnesota. (See the NSE consortium's website here.)
NSE Schools

you can go to.



Students who attend a school within the NSE consortium can go on exchange to any other member school. That means you can go on exchange for a semester, summer or year to schools all over the United States (including Hawaii and Puerto Rico), as well as Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Canada!

NSE provides academic opportunities and adventure.

Application Deadlines (Set and Rolling)
and Info Sessions


If you'd like to go on exchange during the 2012–2013 school year, do your best to apply by February 17, 2012. That's the preferred deadline, though after that date, many schools still have openings and use rolling deadlines. So don't hesitate to contact us anytime about participating in NSE. We'll provide you with a list of schools that have openings.

If you're considering applying for NSE, register to attend an NSE Info Session. These provide details and an application form. NSE Info Sessions are held throughout the school year. If you decide to apply, attendance at an Info Session is required, but you're also welcome to just attend to learn more.
