The NSE offers numerous benefits. In addition to travel, students can explore the cultural diversity of various regions of our country. They can take courses unavailable at LSU and visit potential sites for graduate study.
Participants develop self reliance and make valuable career contacts through internship programs.
Recently, LSU students have studied in Alabama, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Students taking courses for transfer to LSU must complete in advance an approval process to ensure receipt of academic credit. The host NSE schools provide a number of services to incoming LSU students, such as assistance with housing, registration, and occasionally, part-time jobs. Each NSE school has a coordinator assigned to facilitate the exchange and help incoming students. To qualify for the NSE, applicants must have at least a 2.50 overall grade-point average and must have completed a minimum of 36 hours of credit.
