The Midwest Student Exchange Program (MSEP) was established by the Midwestern Higher Education Compact to provide qualified students with a more affordable means of attending an out-of-state institution. Students who are residents of a participating state (Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska or North Dakota) may apply to attend UW-Stevens Point at a significantly reduced tuition rate.
Who is eligible to participate?
To participate, students must be a legal resident of Kansas, Michigan,
Missouri, Nebraska or North Dakota. Minnesota residents are charged
tuition fees based on the Minnesota/Wisconsin tuition reciprocity
agreement.
What is the value of the discount?
Tuition for MSEP students attending UWSP is equal to approximately 150
percent of the in-state tuition rate, which is significantly less than
the regular non-resident rate. Please see the charts below for the
current MSEP tuition rates. For the complete Tuition & Fee Tables, visit

What academic programs/majors participate in MSEP?
UWSP invites students to participate in MSEP at both the undergraduate
and graduate level. Click here to view a complete
list of participating programs. MSEP participants must have a declared
major that is approved for MSEP.
What are the qualifications for participating in MSEP?
MSEP applicants are subject to the same admission requirements as other
applicants. Please consult the UWSP Admissions page
for the current admission requirements. MSEP participants must be formally
admitted to UW-Stevens Point at the undergraduate or graduate level.
Please note that the University of Wisconsin System imposes an “excess
Credits Surcharge” to students accumulating more than 165 credits. MSEP
students will be charged at regular non-resident rates for any term of
enrollment after having completed 165 credits as MSEP participants.
Also, UWSP currently permits qualified students who are legal residents
of the participating states and who are pursuing approved majors, to
participate in MSEP. UWSP reserves the right to impose limits and/or
modifications to the program participation in the future.
How do I apply to participate in the program?

enrollment outlined on the
UWSP Admissions website and indicate somewhere
prominently on your application that you intend to participate in MSEP. If
