Exchange Programs
Exchanges allow Æ»¹ûÒùÔº students to complete a semester or year of study at a partner university. Students explore, learn, and grow abroad, all while earning credit toward their Æ»¹ûÒùÔº degree and paying Æ»¹ûÒùÔº tuition.
Student exchange agreements are tuition exchange agreements that exist between Æ»¹ûÒùÔº and peer institutions which have been reviewed and approved by Æ»¹ûÒùÔº. The number of exchange spaces available at the host institution are limited, and vary from year to year. Æ»¹ûÒùÔº students nominated to participate on an exchange term abroad are billed Æ»¹ûÒùÔº tuition and fees for that term (equivalent to 15 Æ»¹ûÒùÔº credits). Æ»¹ûÒùÔº has agreements with over 150 universities in 39 countries around the world. Exchange programs can be university-wide or faculty-specific. Faculty-specific agreements are only open to students in the specified faculty.
The full listing of partners can be found here.
