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, and the U.S. Virgin Islands!
NSE provides academic opportunities and adventure. Imagine the academic choices students have when they can access courses from 170+ schools! Think of the adventure, the diversity students can find among classmates and professors in new regions, and the cultural and geographical differences they can explore. NSE offers a unique chance to enhance and expand their personal and academic horizons.
