States with Tuition Reciprocity

<p>Minnesota has Tuition Reciprocity with public colleges in Wisconsin and North Dakota. Are there other states that have similar agreement?</p>

<p>There’s the WUE (Western Undergraduate Exchange) for the mountain and pacific west, although California dosen’t participate and at last word the Oregon schools restrict the majors that are available to WUE students. There’s a similar compact that includes the public colleges of the New England region. Again, your choice of major may be limited.</p>

<p>There are no University of California campuses that participate in WUE. However, [ten</a> California State University](<a href=“http://wue.wiche.edu/search_results.jsp?searchType=all]ten”>http://wue.wiche.edu/search_results.jsp?searchType=all) campuses (generally less popular ones) are in WUE. These include several campuses in the Central Valley (Chico, Sacramento, Stanislaus, and Bakersfield), some relatively isolated coastal campuses (Humboldt, Monterey Bay), some of the grittier urban campuses (East Bay, Dominguez Hills, and San Bernardino), and the specialized California Maritime Academy.</p>

<p>Most states in the southeastern part of the US participate in a limited exchange through the Academic Common Market. <a href=“http://www.sreb.org/page/1304/academic_common_market.html[/url]”>Academic Common Market - Southern Regional Education Board; Programs that are included vary from one state to another, so you would need to start with your state of residence to find out what your options would be.</p>

<p>There is a similar program for [url=&lt;a href=“http://www.mhec.org/MSEPAccessNavigator]Midwestern[/url”&gt;http://www.mhec.org/MSEPAccessNavigator]Midwestern[/url</a>] states.</p>

<p>Also, sometimes a state will help to fund an out-of-state professional school, so that their residents get preferred treatment there. For example, the State of Montana doesn’t have a veterinary school, but they provide funding to several out-of-state veterinary schools, which then reserve a certain number of spots for applicants from Montana.</p>

<p>Some states have more limited “border county” tuition reciprocity agreements with neighboring states; so, for example, I believe Kentucky residents in the northern Kentucky suburbs of Cincinnati, OH, can attend the University of Cincinnati at the in-state tuition rate, and Indiana residents in the Indiana suburbs of Louisville, KY can attend the University of Louisville at the in-state rate. Or something like that.</p>

<p>Does anyone know which states have tuition reciprocity agreements with IN, besides OH?</p>

<p>Indiana participates in the Midwest Student Exchange Program. Click on the link in the above post (#5) by Corbett.</p>

<p>Not all majors are available at all schools for the MSEP so you need to check carefully.</p>
