The Midwest Student Exchange Program (MSEP) lowers out-of-state tuition by nearly 50% for students in seven nearby states: Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
Instead of paying the out-of-state tuition rate, MSEP students pay 1.5 times the in-state rate—a savings of more than $35,000 over the course of four years.
Here’s How it Works
The Midwest Student Exchange Program (MSEP) is a multi-state tuition reciprocity program. Through the MSEP, participating institutions agree to charge students no more than 150% of the in-state resident tuition rate for specific programs. 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.

MSEP is available for undergraduate and graduate degree programs within the College of Arts & Sciences, School of Education, School of Business, and the College of Health and Human Services.
Yes. Participation in the MSEP is available to both full-time and part-time degree seeking students.
You don’t have to apply for this program. Undergraduate students that have legal residents in the participating states will see the MSEP award on their account after registering for classes.
The MSEP award will expire after four years of undergraduate study or upon earning an undergraduate degree; whichever occurs first. Students must be degree seeking and participating in a program which is not 100% online. MSEP benefits will be applied to tuition only. MSEP and financial aid awards can both be applied. When combined, the award cannot exceed the total cost of attendance. MSEP participants are responsible for all other fees assessed upon enrollment and associated with attendance. MSEP will continue to be awarded as long as the student remains a non-resident and eligible to enroll in their chosen degree program.
