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.

UNLV has been a member of the NSE program 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 one or two semesters. There are nearly 200 member schools in the US (including schools in Puerto Rico, Guam, the US Virgin Islands, and several schools in Canada). Participants either pay in-state tuition to the school they attend or they pay UNLV tuition. The priority deadline for applying tends to be late February each year; confirm with the Office of International Programs. We will accept applications after that on a space-available basis.
