Visiting Students
What is a Visiting Student?
A visiting student enrolls at Wagner College to take classes as a non-degree student. Visiting students are affiliated with a university in which Wagner College has an established agreement and both universities exchange students with mutual reciprocity.
Wagner College participates in the BridgeUSA Program, which enables current students to enroll at participating institutions for a set duration. See the list of partner institutions and further details below:
The American College of Greece, ACGÂ Deree, Greece
Concordia University Montréal, Canada
Dankook University Dankook, Korea
Kanazawa University Kanazawa, Japan
If you are a current Wagner Student, please schedule an appointment with the Center for Intercultural Advancement to begin the exchange student process.
