MIDWEST STUDENT
EXCHANGE
PROGRAM (MSEP)
A PROGRAM OF THE MIDWESTERN HIGHER EDUCATION COMPACT
(MHEC)
MIDWEST STUDENT EXCHANGE
PROGRAM (MSEP)
• To improve access to postsecondary education by
providing more affordable opportunities for students to
attend out-of-state institutions.
• Participating public institutions charge students no more
than 150% of the in-state resident tuition rate for specific
programs
• Undergraduate and/or graduate programs can be selected to be
included
• Over 100 institutions in Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and
Wisconsin
• Ball State, Indiana State, and Purdue North Central are the
Indiana public institutions
• http://msep.mhec.org/
Considerations for MSEP
Participation
• One campus in a ‘system’ can participate without
other campuses participating.
• The campus must agree to accept students at the
150% tuition from all states that are part of MSEP.
• Different admission standards, such as a higher GPA,
can be set for students using the MSEP.
• Students can be excluded from other scholarship programs.
• Degree programs included in the program can be limited.
• Degree programs which are currently attractive to
nonresident students can be excluded while programs
that have limited nonresident enrollment can be made
more attractive.
Considerations for MSEP
Participation
• The campus determines the criteria for determining if
a student is a resident of a participating state.
• The campus can determine if it will include already
enrolled students in the 150% tuition programs when
it is implemented. MSEP has had institutions take
both approaches.
• There is no fee for participating in this program.
• The agreement can be terminated by notifying MHEC
and the currently enrolled students.
