WHy ISEP?ISEP provides the ideal balance between independent immersion and supportive services. Former participants say that the unique ISEP structure provides the perfect way to maximize your personal growth and create the experience of a lifetime.
CROSS-CULTURAL ENgAgEMENTthrough ISEP, participants gain the cross-cultural skills needed to succeed in an increasingly global society. As you broaden your perspectives in your host culture, you also have the opportunity to represent your home culture abroad.
AffORDAbLE OPTIONSAs a non-profit network, ISEP provides some of the most affordable ways to study abroad. Financial aid and scholarships are typically transferable. For ISEP Exchange programs, you pay your university its normal rates for tuition, housing, and meals. ISEP direct programs have lower fees than most study abroad providers.
DIvERSE PROgRAMSNo matter what your major or language level, you can find a wide range of opportunities through the ISEP Network. Classes are usually taken alongside local students and taught by local professors. Volunteering, internships, and independent study programs are also available at many sites.

Various deadlines
ISEP ExCHANgEISEP Exchange allows you to switch places with another ISEP student and each pay your home university fees for tuition, housing, and meals. therefore, each university only accepts as many incoming students as it sends out, so some host placements may be limited. Students from Exchange members listed on page 50 can participate in ISEP Exchange to the united States. Additionally, International-to-International Exchanges are also available among 43 countries outside the united States if your university is designated on page 50.
ISEP DIRECTISEP direct provides the opportunity to enroll directly in a host institution abroad instead of exchanging places. Chances of placement are usually excellent, so you and a friend can study together. Some sites offer special academic programs and excursions only through ISEP direct. Students from all members listed on page 50 can select from the ISEP direct options.

ISEP PROgRAM OPTIONSIt is important to understand that host universities can only accept a certain number of
incoming ISEP Exchange students based on the number of outbound students sent to ISEP
members abroad. You will need to carefully consider sites with the best chance of placement.
Additional qualifications for placements will depend on your transcript, references, personal
essay, and language test score. chances of placement also depend on the number of other
prospective students applying for that institution.
3 EASy StEPS to gEt thE PLACEMENt yoU WANt
1 Carefully research each institution that interests you on the ISEP website. Pay special attention to the Academic Notes and Language requirement sections. If you need courses at the graduate level, be sure the institution offers them.
2
Select 10 sites that interest you and rank them on your application in order of preference. read the placement guides on the ISEP website to see which sites have the best chances of placement.
If yOU WANT TO STUDy IN THE UNITED STATES: one of your top four choices should be an institution that has an Excellent, Good, or Fair chance of placement in the "Study in the u.S." list on the ISEP homepage. If you are interested in one of our Most Competitive Sites, it must be listed as your FIrSt CHoICE on your application. you may only apply to oNE Most Competitive site.
If yOU WANT TO STUDy OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES: Check the list of "Sites Available Worldwide" for International Students on the ISEP homepage. If you select a limited site, be sure to list alternate choices. ISEP direct programs have excellent chances of placement.

1. Do your research 9-12 months before departure
Meet with your ISEP Coordinator to talk about where you’d like to study abroad. your coordinator can help answer any questions and guide you through our website, www.isep.org. Check the Sites Available lists: “Study in the u.S.”or “Study Worldwide” available on the homepage of our website.
Get the student perspective — feel free to email ISEP Student Ambassadors with questions about their experiences to help inform your decisions! you can access a full list on our blog at http://goo.gl/XONWE.
2. Apply 7-8 months before departure
you’ve selected your schools, considered their program options, and now you’re ready to complete the application (which you can access on the ISEP website). you can ask your home coordinator if you have any questions, or contact ISEP at [email protected]. try to plan ahead for the application priority deadlines: September 1st for programs beginning in January, February, or March and February 15th for programs that start in July, August, or September. Check with your coordinator to see if your university has earlier internal deadlines. Need more time? Many Exchange and direct programs have later deadlines — see all deadlines on www.isep.org.
3. Wait patiently (or at least try!) 4-6 months before departure
Now that you’ve submitted your application to ISEP Central in Arlington, Virginia, program staff will evaluate your materials to find you the perfect fit. It might take a little while, so hang tight. that’s because we carefully consider every single student’s application to find a host university that most closely matches his or her academic and personal needs.
4. Prepare to leave 1-4 months before departure
you’ve been placed — congrats! Now it’s time to get ready to go. remember to take care of everything outlined in your acceptance packet from ISEP and the welcome packet from your host institution. Have you applied for your visa? booked your flight? Make sure your passport is valid during the duration of your program.
5. Arrive at your host institution 2-10 days before classes begin
time to settle in! Meet with your host ISEP coordinator and other international students during orientation. your host coordinator will help you register for classes and can assist with any other questions you may have throughout your program.
6. Live (and learn) like a local duration of your program
Explore! discover! Learn! take ownership of your education abroad experience. Set goals for your time overseas and make a plan for balancing academic success with time exploring your host culture. think about sharing all of your new adventures too! blogging, taking photos, and posting to social media regularly throughout your time abroad can be great ways to look back on your experience.
7. Return home After your studies and travels
your time studying abroad is officially over, but the thrill of international travel and excitement of intercultural discovery doesn’t have to end here! Check out how you can inspire others to study abroad and connect with other ISEP alumni just like you on page 6.

SUPPORT fROM ISEP
PHoTo bY: Javier Cebrian, studied at Marshall University, West Virginia, USA
Throughout its history, people have regarded the united States as a land of opportunity, and this is
still true for visiting students. by studying in the united States, you can acquire a great education
while also having the experience of a lifetime. You will see the country's diversity: its beautiful
landscapes and national parks; lively, multicultural cities; and welcoming, friendly people.
Studying in the united States with ISEP can also help perfect your English skills, strengthen your
résumé, and provide you with a range of academic topics to complete your degree.
HIgHER EDUCATION IN THE UNITED STATESrather than a single national system of higher education, each state is responsible for the regulation of its institutions of higher learning. the two main types of institutions are public (or state) universities and private (or independent) colleges and universities. these types of institutions can vary considerably.
PUbLIC UNIvERSITIES
• Founded by u.S. state governments
• Funded partially by the states in which they are located with the support of tuition, public and private research grants, and gifts
• Enroll tens of thousands of students
• Class sizes may be large, especially for general lecture courses
PRIvATE COLLEgES & UNIvERSITIES
• Founded by an individual or organization and approved by the government
• May have higher tuition costs, which are fully covered by your ISEP Exchange benefits
• usually enroll fewer than 10,000 students
• Classes are usually small and offer many opportunities for interaction with professors

• Students in the united States in their first four years of university are called undergraduates and are pursuing bachelor’s degrees.
• Most undergraduate programs are highly flexible, allowing students to choose a variety of courses and create their own unique program of study.
• In addition to coursework in a major field, students are required to take a number of courses in the arts, humanities, languages, and the social and physical sciences. Most students are also able to take optional elective courses.
• After completing a bachelor of arts (bA) degree or a bachelor of sciences (bS) degree — and often after working for a few years — students who wish to pursue further studies may apply to graduate school.
ACCESS TO gRADUATE PROgRAMS THROUgH ISEP
ISEP participants are usually admitted to u.S. universities as "special" or "non-degree" students and take undergraduate courses. Qualified students may be able to take graduate courses. Please note:
• Admission to graduate study usually requires four years of university but may be possible after three years.
• Additional test scores may be required, such as GMAt for business and GrE for other subjects. toEFL requirements may be higher.
• Some classes are open to final-year undergraduates and first-year graduate students.
• Some sites may allow you to pursue a full graduate degree.
U.S. UNDErgrADUAtE CoUrSESArE USUALLy NUMbErED by LEVELS:
100-199 First year "Freshman"
200-299 Second year "Sophomore"
300-399 third year "Junior"
400-499 Fourth year "Senior"
gRADUATE STUDENTS• Graduate programs, which are much more specialized, lead to a master’s degree (usually after
four semesters) or a doctoral (Phd) degree after further course work and a dissertation.
• Professional programs such as medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, veterinary science, and law are offered at the graduate level only, although undergraduates take “pre-med” or “pre-law” courses to prepare for further study.
• Note: Any field/program that requires direct clinical patient contact by the participant (e.g., physical therapy, psychological counseling, dentistry, medicine, veterinary medicine, or speech therapy) is closed to non-degree ISEP students. Students are advised to take courses in related fields (health and sciences) not involving direct clinical patient contact by the participant.

TOEfLIf the toEFL is required by the sites on your application, ISEP must receive the official copy of your toEFL before placement can be finalized. to be considered in the placement round starting February 15, you should take the toEFL test by January 1. For applications due on September 1, take the test by July 15.
results must be sent directly to ISEP Central from EtS. If you are taking the paper-based or internet-based test, list the ISEP toEFL number 9250. For the computer-based test, choose Virginia and ISEP.
ENgLISH AS A SECOND LANgUAgE ISEP Exchange programs are not designed for students who wish to take full-time English as a Second Language (ESL) courses. ISEP direct programs may offer full-time ESL courses. Additionally, some ISEP Exchanges may offer ESL support courses in addition to regular academic coursework.
For information about the toEFL and ESL consult your ISEP Coordinator, www.isep.org, or see www.ets.org.
All ISEP member institutions in the united States require some type of proof of English
language proficiency from international students who are not native English speakers.
The only exception is Puerto rico, where students must be proficient in Spanish.
Most ISEP institutions in the united States require an official toEFL test score. Many sites may also accept an Institutional toEFL, IELtS, MELAb, Cambridge certificate, or SAt score. Some institutions may accept the ISEP Language Proficiency report in lieu of toEFL scores, especially for students from educational systems that require a high level of English proficiency, including Austria, belgium, botswana, denmark, Fiji, Finland, Germany, Ghana, Malta, Norway, the Netherlands, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, the American university of bulgaria, or the American university of Sharjah. Check the Language Notes sections in the Membership directory on the ISEP website.
requirements for each u.S. member institution are listed in the catalog insert. Check the membership directory on www.isep.org for further details.

J-1 ExCHANgE STUDENT vISITOR vISAAlthough applying for a visa may seem daunting, ISEP can provide guidance in this process. ISEP sponsors all participants going to the united States in obtaining a J-1 Exchange Visitor visa. After you are confirmed by a u.S. host university, ISEP will issue the Certificate of Eligibility for Exchange Visitor (J-1) Status, known as a dS-2019. you can use the dS-2019 form to apply for your J-1 visa from your local u.S. Consulate office. Please check the website of the u.S. Embassy located in your country for information regarding processes and fees for obtaining a visa. If you have questions regarding the information provided, please contact the ISEP SEVIS Coordinator at [email protected].
the u.S. State department’s bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs administers the visa program, which
provides foreign nationals opportunities to participate in exchange programs in the united States.
vISA REqUIREMENTS fOR WORkINg IN THE USAEmployment in the united States can be academically, culturally, and personally enriching and can help build your CV. because ISEP is your visa sponsor, you must complete documents and receive prior authorization from ISEP before working. begin planning early by notifying your ISEP Coordinator of your interest, and searching for a prospective employer.
ON-CAMPUS EMPLOyMENT
It is expected that you will have sufficient financial means to participate in an ISEP Exchange without the need to work. there is, however, an option at most u.S. universities to work on campus for up to 20 hours per week during the semester. the job does not have to relate to your studies. After you find a job, ask your host ISEP Coordinator for an Employment Authorization request Form to submit to ISEP. to comply with visa regulations, you must receive a formal authorization letter from ISEP before beginning work.
ACADEMIC TRAININg
An Academic training position or internship must be directly related to your major field of study at your host institution in the united States. Most ISEP students do Academic training after their semester of study abroad so that they can remain in the united States longer and work 40 hours per week. Semester participants can work for up to four additional months; full-year participants can work for up to nine months. Carefully read the Academic training advice on www.isep.org, then ask your host ISEP Coordinator for the Academic training Authorization request Form to submit to ISEP.

“i absolutely loved my living
experience, i stayed with a
wonderfully kind and understanding,
as well as a nice and funny host
family. they were selected well and
they knew what i generally needed
because they probably have hosted
more than 20 exchange students
before me. the university is very open
and ready to help all students (i.e.
international students). the school
is academically great, i learned a
ton! and the campus is beautiful,
a good size, well kept, and has
animals everywhere! my favorite
characteristic of the culture is the
warmth, openness, and hospitality i
received from everyone there.”
