Program Model
Application Deadline
Open to juniors and seniors in good academic standing, with a major in engineering or science. For nomination and application deadlines, refer to the CSE Engineering Exchange: Norway website.
Academics
Design a study program in consultation with a faculty adviser in the College of Science and Engineering. A language course is highly recommended. Instruction in English and Norwegian by Norwegian faculty. You receive transfer credit and typical credit load is 30 for academic year; 15 for fall or spring semester. You must take at least 12 credits per semester.
After you've chosen a program and identified the courses you want to take, departmental and college advisers can evaluate whether or not the course work can be used toward your major or to meet other requirements. It is important to be somewhat flexible in planning your courses. Sometimes course information isn't immediately available, so you may need to correspond directly with the host university.
