Cleveland State has been a proud member of the National Student Exchange program since 2001. In that time, we have sent over 29 undergraduate students on an exchange semester or year-long adventure to various universities within the consortium.

The University of Washington, Texas A&M, University of North Carolina-Wilmington, University of Montana, University of Alabama-Birmingham, Queens College, Stonybrook University, and the University of Northern British Columbia are among the schools CSU students have attended. With exchange options in all 50 states, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and 7 Canadian provinces, there is sure to be a great place for everyone.

In return, Cleveland State has had the privilege of hosting over 34 students from universities as varied as Universidad de Puerto Rico-Bayamon, Université de Sherbrooke, Oklahoma State University, Portland State University, University of Texas-San Antonio, University of New Hampshire, and the University of South Florida. Every year more than 2,000 students nationally participate in this program.

Please note that member campuses vary from year to year. Please check the current available list of participating campuses for the complete list of member campuses available to qualifying undergraduates wishing to participate in the exchange.
