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.

Plan Your Study Abroad Program
Studying abroad requires careful planning to ensure that you receive all the credits you need by your anticipated graduation date. For example, you may have to take prerequisite courses or reorder some courses to free up classes to be taken abroad. You may need to consider how to finance your experience abroad. We are here to help you get to your destination and goal. Make an appointment with the College of Science Global Engagement team at the beginning of your planning process, and we’ll assist you with choosing a program, filling out applications and preparing for your time abroad.
