National Student Exchange (NSE)
National Student Exchange (NSE) is a consortium of U.S. and Canadian colleges and universities, including the University of Minnesota. Students who attend a school within the NSE consortium can go on exchange to any other member school. That means students 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.
The National Student Exchange could be an excellent option for off-campus study if traveling abroad is not possible at this time. Reach out to [email protected] to ask questions or schedule an advising appointment.
