National Student Exchange Programs

You don't have to travel abroad to immerse yourself in a different culture. If international study is not in the cards, we offer domestic study away options, which build the skills you need to succeed in life and career.

Widener University is a member of the National Student Exchange, a consortium of nearly 170 accredited, baccalaureate-granting colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. NSE allows you to take your Widener financial aid and study away for one or two semesters and earn credits toward your major(s) and/or minor(s). Around 2,000 students study away through NSE each year.

Pride Perspectives

Hear from our students about their study abroad opportunities!

I’ve never felt unsure about what the next steps of dental school were. I always had professors guiding me along my way.

Zan's Story

Every study abroad trip, every internship opportunity, every volunteer event, every class is contributing to me not only being a better person, but better in business. The world of business today requires us to be globally active.
