You can read this page with LOTS of details on CSE exchanges. Here are some quick answers to common questions:
- CSE exchanges are open only to CSE majors.
- No foreign language skill is required, though it may be useful. Courses are taught in English. (Don’t worry, you have time to learn a little French/German/Swedish.)
- Exchanges are designed to last a full year, but one semester is possible.
- CSE majors pay regular UW tuition while abroad, plus expenses like airfare and insurance. Financial aid and scholarships apply normally. Some schools pay you a stipend, offseting extra expenses.
- Students are selected based on their academic and personal preparation for an exchange.
- CSE students typically go abroad after completing most/all 300-level CSE courses.
- All/most of your exchange courses can fulfill CSE requirements, assuming you select courses carefully.
