National Student Exchange
The National Student Exchange program offers a one-year or one-semester study-away educational opportunity to Kent State students while they earn course credit toward graduation. There are more than 170 colleges and universities in the United States, U.S. Territories and Canada from which to choose. Students pay Kent State University tuition or use their tuition waiver; financial aid applies and scholarships also can apply; there are no out-of-state fees. Students experience personal growth, explore graduate school programs and investigate employment opportunities while being exposed to a new culture.
The Ohio Science and Engineering Alliance
The National Science Foundation and Kent State University fund the Ohio Science and Engineering Alliance. The alliance is a coalition of 15 universities working in collaboration with federal, state and community agencies to increase the number of underrepresented minority students who earn bachelor’s degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields and to encourage more students to pursue graduate study in these fields. Kent State sponsors six undergraduate research interns during the academic year and summer. Kent State also hosts a Summer Transitional Program for incoming science majors to take courses the summer prior to beginning their college career at the university and connect early with key science faculty.
