Background

National Student Exchange at WOU

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

NSE offers students the ability to study-away at another university in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Canada.

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.
