National Student Exchange

The National Student Exchange (NSE) is a program for exchange within the United States and Canada. Instead of crossing oceans, NSE students cross state, regional, provincial, and cultural borders. The changes seen in attitudes, understanding of other people in other settings, maturity, risk-taking, and decision making are similar to the experiences of students who study outside of North America.

The NSE program has been at UNLV for more than 20 years. It is for undergraduate students with at least a 2.5 GPA. It allows eligible students the opportunity to attend a member university for up to one academic year. There are approximately 200 member schools in the U.S. (including schools in Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, plus several schools in Canada). Participants either pay in-state tuition to the school they attend or they pay UNLV tuition. Every state is represented except North Dakota.

The priority deadline for applying is March 6, 2009 for the 2009-10 academic year (fall or spring or both). We will accept applications after that on a space-available basis.
