National Student Exchange

Immerse yourself in a different culture.

The National Student Exchange (NSE) facilitates the exchange of students between universities in the United States, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Like going on a study abroad program, you're able to study for a semester or academic year at one of the 200 participating universities. With options in every U.S. state and beyond, NSE offers you the opportunity to explore a different academic and social experience as a college student.

NSE Benefits

  • Explore new courses: Take classes you can't take at USD, like marine biology, tourism and hospitality or cultural studies
  • Expand your horizons: Immerse yourself in a new environment and discover what life is like at a different university
  • Experience affordable opportunities: Attend an out-of-state university for a USD price, while receiving all regular federal financial aid and USD scholarships
