National Student Exchange
NSE is a consortium of over 250 colleges and universities across the U.S., its territories, and Canada. Through NSE, you can exchange to another college or university for a semester or year away. Similar to study abroad, students get a chance to study at another campus for a specified period of time and return to USD greatly enriched by the experience. The major difference is that Study Abroad takes you outside the United States while most NSE students stay in the U.S.
NSE member universities also allow students to study abroad through their programs. This study abroad option is often more affordable than applying through a study abroad program provider.
