Exchange

Exchange Programs allow UConn to swap students on a regular basis with a partner university through an official agreement. Through an Exchange students enroll directly in classes, share housing with local students, and may become a regular member of the host university community. The international programs office of the host university will be available for most student support services. Because there are limited spots for each Exchange, a GPA of 3.0 or higher is required for application and selection is competitive.
