Exchange programs

At California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB), we proudly partner with universities across the globe, offering students the opportunity to immerse themselves in a new culture and academic environment. If your university has a bilateral exchange agreement with CSUMB, you may be eligible to join our Exchange program, where tuition is paid to your home institution.

Students can participate in exchanges through our partner universities, such as the National Student Exchange (NSE) program, California State University International Programs (CSUIP), or other sponsored organizations.
