7.1.3. National Student Exchange

National Student Exchange (NSE): A consortium of four-year colleges and universities in the United States and its territories that have joined together for the purpose of exchanging students among the member institutions. Special Academic Programs administers the National Student Exchange (NSE) program.

The NSE features a tuition reciprocity system that allows students to attend their host institution by paying the normal tuition/fees of their home campus. Work completed while on the exchange at the host campus (one semester to one year) is brought back to the home institution and credited to the student's degree program. This program, designed to be affordable to students, helps them grow academically and personally, as well as develop a greater appreciation for the diversity of our country and our culture.

Interested students should do the following:

1. Obtain an application for and information about the entire process from the division of Special Academic Programs by calling 7-2262 or e-mail <sap@mtu.edu>.



2. Students will be interviewed by the NSE director, and/or the assistant to the director, once the paperwork has been completed.



3. Exchanges are confirmed in March of each year for the following academic year.



4. Contact the director of NSE (7-2262) for further details.
