Student Exchange Program

students on stepsThe YWMC Student Exchange Program is specifically designed to expose students from member schools to new academic and personal experiences and environments through summer and/or semester exchanges. Many students attend YWMC schools located close to their home communities and have rarely if ever been able to travel far from these communities. The YWMC Student Exchange Program provides students with the opportunity to expand their horizons by spending time at a school similar to their own in terms of size and student body but located in a variety of environments from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the urban centers of Los Angeles and Chicago.

Their course of study may correspond to areas they have already begun to explore, including general education courses, or may introduce them to new subjects they would like to explore. Many of the exchange opportunities involve hands-on field work and collaboration with other students.
