Exchange Programs
Exchange Programs are offered by XU’s Center for International Education. Exchange programs allow students to study at a university with which XU has a special agreement. Under an exchange program, students pay the equivalent of full-time XU tuition and fees and then pay housing and other costs to the host university. These programs are competitive, and are generally for a semester or an academic year.
