National Student Exchange

National Student Exchange (NSE) lets you explore by studying away for a summer, semester, or an academic year at one of NSE’s 200 member institutions throughout the United States, Canada, and U.S. territories, including Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Oftentimes, students can study via NSE for the same, or less, than the tuition they pay at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities.

NSE is also a great opportunity to experience a different part of the country and a different type of university.That could be an HBCU, a smaller school, a school closer to family, somewhere warmer, and more
