NSE Member Campuses
There are about 180 colleges and universities in the US, US territories, and Canada that are members of the National Student Exchange. When a campus joins the NSE family, they are saying to all the other campuses, “Your students are welcome here!” Not every campus can accept all students who apply, but your NSE Coordinator will help you choose up to five campuses to list on your exchange application. Research your options by reviewing the NSE: Find a Campus site. Search by region, campus size, population, designation, or major. Remember, all students must meet the UNH Study Away Eligibility requirements.
NSE has something for everyone.
Since 1988, the University of New Hampshire has been a proud member of the National Student Exchange, a consortium of over 180 colleges and universities in the United States, US territories, and Canada. Through this academic program, UNH students can spend a semester or full year studying away at another member campus, and continue to make progress toward their UNH degree. After a semester or year on exchange, students return to UNH to complete their remaining degree requirements and graduate on time.
National Student Exchange inspires academic enrichment, personal exploration, and student development by facilitating accessible collegiate study away among member colleges and universities throughout the United States, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico, and U.S Virgin Islands.
National Student Exchange strives to be the leading resource and premier provider for intercollegiate study away exchange.
We value diversity, open-mindedness, and cross cultural engagement fostering learning, understanding, respect, and a sense of community among all people. We believe that adding a collegiate study away experience enhances education and enriches student growth.
