The National Student Exchange offers BGSU students the opportunity to take coursework at another college or university in the United States without losing progress toward a BGSU degree. The program encourages students to experience and learn from different regional and cultural perspectives and to broaden their educational backgrounds, frequently through courses of study not available at their home campus. Bowling Green is a participating member of the NSE consortium of 180 colleges and universities in the United States and its territories.

A qualified, full-time student may participate for up to one academic year. BGSU students pay tuition to BGSU. Housing is paid to host school. NSE students take courses that are recorded on their transcripts, with grades, as BGSU equivalent courses and subject to BGSU grading policies. Students must be of at least sophomore status during the exchange period. Students must have at least a 2.5 grade point average, be enrolled full-time at BGSU, and must exchange prior to their last 15 hours before graduation. Interested students should consult with the NSE coordinator about costs, course selection, choice of host university, and planning the best time for exchange. Financial aid is often available for eligible students participating in this program. For financial aid information, call 419-372-2651.
