This info session will present basic info on CSE exchanges, and allow lots of time for questions. Topics will include info on our exchange partner schools, the benefits and challenges of going on an exchange, cultural differences, rough expenses, and how to prepare for an exchange
You can read this page with LOTS of details on CSE exchanges. Here are some details on CSE exchanges:
- Courses are taught in English. No foreign language skill is required, though it may be useful.
- Exchanges are designed to last a full year, or one semester (two quarters).
- CSE majors pay regular UW tuition while abroad, plus expenses like airfare and insurance. Financial aid and scholarships apply normally. Some exchange schools offer a stipend, offseting your extra expenses.
- Students are selected based on their academic and personal preparation for an exchange.
- CSE students typically go abroad after completing 300-level CSE courses, and take CSE senior electives abroad.
- All/most of your exchange courses can fulfill CSE requirements, assuming you select courses carefully.
