The National Student Exchange
(NSE) Program offers University students an opportunity to explore a different
geographical and cultural environment, broadening their academic experience.
Students can apply as early as their freshman year to participate in an
exchange during their sophomore, junior, or senior year. These exchanges
create extensive opportunities for personal and academic growth and give
the satisfaction of achievement available from the combined resources of more than 160 state universities and colleges
throughout the United States. NSE-participating schools are diverse
institutions offering insightful experiences. Students are able to gain access to a variety of courses,
un-usual programs, field studies and internships, and explore graduate
programs, professional schools, and career options.
Students may attend an exchange school for one semester
or an academic year. All credits are transferable as University of Massachusetts
residency credits. The National Student Exchange Program is staffed in
part by former and current exchange students who will answer questions
about academic programs and geographic location. Weekly information sessions
are given throughout the fall semester and during February. Any full-time
University of Massachusetts student with a 2.5 minimum cumulative average
may apply. The application deadline is always during the first week in
March for anytime the following academic year. The National Student Exchange
Program is located in the Domestic Exchange Office associated with Premajor
Advising Services. Office hours are posted. You may access the NSE Program
