Exchange Students

Kennesaw State University has partnered with institutions around the world to offer reciprocal exchange programs. Exchanges are semester or year-long experiences where Kennesaw State students can study at a partner institution abroad and, in exchange, a student from the partner institution can study at KSU.

Below you will find helpful resources for incoming and outgoing exchange students.

International students interested in studying at Kennesaw State as incoming J-1 exchange students can contact International Student and Scholar Services.
