The Midwest Student Exchange Program (MSEP) is a multi-state tuition reciprocity program.
Through the MSEP, public institutions agree to charge students no more than 150% of the in-state resident tuition rate for specific programs; private institutions offer a 10% reduction on their tuition rates. All enrollment decisions are made at the discretion of the receiving campus, and the campus may exercise its right to limit participation or set specific admission requirements for MSEP.
Currently eight MHEC states participate in MSEP: You must be a legal resident of IN, KS, MN, MO, NE, ND, OH, or WI and enrolling as a non-resident student.
