We are thrilled that you are considering NMSU for your education abroad experience! An exchange student is a student who intends to come to NMSU on an official exchange program established by a formal agreement between New Mexico State University and one of its partner institutions or via the Consortium for North American Higher Education Collaboration (CONAHEC), or the National Student Exchange (NSE) program. If you are interested in studying at NMSU as an exchange student, your home university must first nominate you. Your Study Abroad or International Office Advisor/Exchange Coordinator can inform you about the procedures at your university and answer specific questions about the application process for exchange students.
