For over 50 years, the National Student Exchange (NSE) has connected over 120,000 students to extraordinary academic and cultural experiences at more than 170 colleges and universities across the U.S. and Canada. Whether you’re seeking new courses, fresh perspectives, or the chance to immerse yourself in a different environment, NSE offers the flexibility to tailor your educational journey to your goals.
Exchange programs go beyond academics—they're an opportunity to grow, adapt, and thrive in a new setting. Discover professors who inspire you, programs that challenge you, and communities that welcome you.
Students can choose to participate in the National Student Exchange through the Home Payment Plan. On the 'Home' plan, students remain enrolled at UNK while studying classes at a host university. Tuition and fees are paid at UNK, just as if they were here, but all housing, meals, and other costs will be paid at the host university. Most UNK scholarships and financial aid will apply as usual on Home Pay.

“It shows you that no matter what scary thing you face in life, you can get through it. You’ll walk away with friends, new perspectives, and a whole lot of memories that UNK itself could not provide.”
