ISEP Exchange

ISEP Exchanges are based on the concept of reciprocal exchange and are open to students at member institutions only. Each outbound participant pays the cost of an academic term (tuition, housing, and meals) at home while, for every student sent abroad, the institution receives one in return. ISEP facilitates exchanges between U.S. and international members as well as exchanges among international institutions. ISEP Exchanges allow students from the USA and 53 other countries to exchange places at member universities for a semester or a year.
