NSE offers study opportunities at diverse university settings and provides access to a wide array of courses and programs; field experiences, co-op, and internship options; and resident assistant, honors, and study abroad opportunities. The program features a tuition reciprocity system which allows students to attend their host institution by paying either the in-state tuition/fees of their host institution or the normal tuition/fees of their home campus.

Work completed while on exchange at the host campus is brought back to the home institution and credited to the student's degree program. Students may choose a semester or year exchange. The deadline for application is March 1 of every year. There is a $75 application fee.
