Exchange Programs
Clemson University’s exchange programs are coordinated by a partnership between the University and another institution. As you’re studying elsewhere, Clemson University will accept its own exchange student from your host institution.
Deepen Your Worldview
Exchange programs deepen a student’s worldview while bolstering Clemson’s name on a global scale.
Clemson in-state tuition and fees, as well as room and board costs of the host institution, will fund students during their travels, which can run for a semester up to a full academic year. Credits from an exchange program will transfer to Clemson from the host institution upon completion.
