Exchange Scholar Program

The Exchange Scholar Program enables Princeton Ph.D. students to take courses or conduct dissertation research for up to one academic year at one of the following universities:

  • University of California, Berkeley
  • Brown University
  • University of Chicago
  • Columbia University
  • Cornell University
  • Harvard University
  • Massachussetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.)
  • University of Pennsylvania
  • Stanford University
  • Yale University
Students are normally eligible for this exchange program after completing one year of residence at Princeton; post-generals status is preferable in all but the most exceptional cases. Students are regularly registered at their home institution, and hold special non-degree status at the host institution. Participation in the program requires the approval of the director of graduate studies (or the department chair) and the graduate school dean at both the home and the host institutions.
