Steps to Apply As Incoming International Exchange Students

Once an institution completes the on-line nomination form, students will complete an application for admissions with MSU’s Office of Admissions and Scholarships or the Office of Graduate Studies. For undergraduate students, international exchange students apply to MSU as transfer students. Students must have a minimum of one year of study to be considered for the exchange pro-gram and must have a minimum of 2.5 GPA by MSU’s standards. Graduate international exchange students typically apply as un-classified unless they are degree seeking students. International students must submit an appropriate TOEFL/IELTS score for ad-mission into the graduate school. Additional information found on page two.

IMPORTANT NOTES: Per our agreements, students will pay tuition at their home institutions. However, there will be several fees that apply to incoming exchange students. Undergraduate students must complete a minimum 12 hours of course work and graduate students are required to complete a minimum of nine hours of course work.
