The exchange program is based on an agreement between ITESM and UNL for a reciprocal exchange of students.

Any UNL undergraduate or graduate student in good standing is eligible to apply. A 2.5 GPA is preferred. UNL graduate students may study in either program with approval from Graduate Studies and their graduate committees. Graduate credit must be negotiated before departure.
