Students benefit directly through cost savings.
MSEP implementation is overseen by the Student Exchange Program Council. The Council consists of one member designated by the appropriate postsecondary agency in each state and four at-large members representing universities, community and technical colleges and independent institutions. Among the first actions taken by the Council was the preparation of a joint participation agreement for submission to MHEC states. In certain high-cost professional fields, as approved by the Commission, admission as an MSEP student may entail an additional amount. Participating private institutions discount at least 10 percent from their general tuition rates.
