No, you would not. That would be a mistake just as big.

Unlike the English word "and", which can be used to connect adjectives, verbs and even sentences as well as nouns, 「と」 and 「や」can only connect nouns and pronouns. In your essay, you connected two sentences by using 「や」.

One more item and I am off to bed. You used the word 「外国為替」 without knowing what it means. It means "foreign currency exchange". It has nothing to do with "exchange programs" by colleges.
