ISEP-Exchanges
ISEP-Exchanges allow students from the USA and 36 other countries to
exchange places at member universities for a semester or a year. There
are two types of ISEP-Exchanges:
1) US-International ISEP-Exchanges are between members
in the USA and other countries (for example, Texas-France). All countries
except New Zealand and Australia participate in US-International exchanges.
These sites are marked with an E or E*
in the Membership Directory.
2) International-to-International ISEP-Exchanges are
between the members outside the USA (for example, Mexico-Finland). Not
all ISEP members take part in International-International exchanges;
see the list of participating
institutions. These sites are marked with an I
or I* in the Directory.
- ISEP-Exchanges are open to students from member universities only.
See the Directory for member lists.
- Exchanges are based on the balance of students exchanging places
rather than a monetary exchange, so a university abroad can only accept
as many students as it sends out. This means some sites may have a
limited number of places open for applications and are marked with
an E* or I*.
- Students pay a fee to their home university based on the cost of
tuition, fees, housing, and a full meal plan at the home institution.
An application/placement fee is paid to ISEP. All fees are submitted
directly to your local ISEP Coordinator. See placement fees below.
- Financial aid and scholarships usually applies for US students.
- This program fee creates a "place" and a set of benefits
for an incoming student.
- Abroad, you receive the same set of ISEP benefits covered by the
fees that the outgoing student paid to that university.
