USF has a domestic student exchange agreement with Jackson State University, Mississippi's urban university, in Jackson, Mississippi. Jackson State offers a similar menu of colleges and majors as USF; its student body is about 94% African-American and its faculty about 66%. The program is designed to enhance the cultural, intellectual and racial diversity of both USF and Jackson State University (JSU), as well as to strengthen the learning experiences at both institutions and to more fully prepare participating students for lives and leadership roles in a multicultural world.

The program is open to all USF students with at least sophomore standing and a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA. Student exchanges can be for Fall or Spring semester. Students register for the coursework taken at JSU through USF, so the units and grades completed apply fully to their USF degree requirements. Housing and meal plans are available through JSU.
