National Student Exchange Program

The National Student Exchange (NSE) is a program for undergraduate exchange within the United States with opportunities for exchange in Canada as well. 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 internationally.

National Student Exchange is a great opportunity to learn, earn credit towards your degree at Rhode Island College and "see the country" all at the same time.

Apply to be an exchange student:

• over 170 universities and colleges participate across the country
• you pay the same tuition you are paying at RIC
• you can exchange for a semester or a year

To qualify you must:

• be a full time RIC student
• be in your sophomore or junior year at the time of the exchange
• have a minimum GPA of 2.5 when application is submitted
