Hi,
Exchange program lasts usually for one to two semesters depending on the university policy where you are doing your undergraduate or graduate studies and also on the MOUs signed between that university and other universities abroad. If you want then you can directly apply to colleges and universities in United States cause there are plenty of scholarships available for undergraduate students to complete their studies there.
I hope this helps.
All the best.
