Background

National Student Exchange at WOU

Imagine, if you can the opportunities available from the combined resources of 200 campuses with all of their courses and programs. Think of the adventure, of the untold diversity of people, culture, and geography. That is the National Student Exchange (NSE) program.

Since it's founding in 1968, more than 90,000 students have been successfully placed in the United States, U.S. territories, and Canada, each taking advantage of the enormous savings in cost while still having access to personalized assistance from experienced NSE campus coordinators.

Through the NSE program, academically qualified students are given the opportunity to spend up to one year at another school, while paying in-state tuition rates, and maintaining academic progress toward degree requirements, Credits earned during the exchange become part of each students' home school transcript.
