Exchange Programs Within the U.S.
The University offers many possibilities for exchange study with other
American institutions. Exchange programs provide an educational
experience in a different environment within the United States. It is
hoped that students will develop new ways of viewing the country and
expand their knowledge of our complex society.
Through the National Student Exchange, UNH students
can study at more than 170 colleges and universities throughout the
U.S. and its territories (including, but not limited to, Montana, New
Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Florida, Alaska, and Puerto Rico). Several
historically black colleges and universities are exchange members and
several are members of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and
Universities. In addition, a one-semester or full-year exchange program
is available with the University of California, Santa Cruz.
To qualify for exchange study, students must be
full-time undergraduate degree candidates with at least a 2.50
grade-point average, have declared a major, receive permission from
their college dean and adviser, and receive permission from the
exchange coordinator.
Students in exchange programs are expected to return
to UNH to complete their studies. Participation in an exchange program
does not disrupt the continuity of a student's educational process.
Exchange program participants continue to maintain their status as UNH
students, even while temporarily located at another university.
Students thus do not have to withdraw from UNH and later be readmitted.
Maintaining UNH student status also facilitates reentry into classes,
on-campus housing, and many other dimensions of University life.
Interested students should contact the National Student Exchange Office in Hood House, (603) 862-3485.
