Challenge and distinguish yourself by studying as a fully-integrated student at a host institution for a semester or academic year. Exchange students select courses from the university course catalog and participate alongside local and other international students. These programs are a cost-effective option, as you will pay tuition and fees for 15 credit hours at the Nebraska resident tuition rate based on your UNL college.
UNL Partner Universities (Bilateral Exchanges)
Bilateral exchanges are based on agreements between a host university and UNL for a reciprocal exchange of students and scholars. The number of students selected to participate in the exchange varies from year to year and depends on the balance of the exchange. If you are interested in studying at one of UNL’s partner institutions, please schedule an appointment with the Student Exchange Coordinator.
University-Wide Exchanges
UNL has established exchange agreements with specific host universities that allow UNL students from any major to attend these universities for a semester or academic year.
College/Department Exchanges
Several of UNL's colleges have established exchange agreements with institutions abroad specifically for their majors, such as Engineering or Architecture.
MAUI-Utrecht Network Exchange Program
Take advantage of UNL’s membership in the Mid-America Universities International (MAUI) organization by studying as an exchange student at one of the many Utrecht Network universities in European countries. Visit the MAUI-Utrecht website to learn more.

International Student Exchange Program (ISEP)
The ISEP network offers exchange opportunities in 50 countries. Please visit the ISEP website to search programs by country, area of study, and language. Space through ISEP-Exchange is competitive, so you may not get your first choice of host institution or country. You may also consider the less competitive ISEP-Direct option, which allows you to pay a set fee to ISEP to cover the cost of attendance at a host institution.
Via-TRM and ISEP application deadlines are usually much earlier than other programs. Start your application early!
