International Student Exchange Program (ISEP)'s Mission Statement: ISEP is the world's largest network of post-secondary institutions cooperating to provide international educational experiences. ISEP offers a diverse range of sites and programs that combine opportunities for intellectual and personal growth with immersion in another culture. Through reciprocal exchange and other innovative and cost-effective study abroad approaches, students have access to affordable, high quality study abroad programs as an integral part of their education. ISEP enables students to spend a semester, academic year or summer abroad, earn academic credit towards their degree and participate in the academic and social life of their host institution. ISEP alumni cite the experience of independence, full immersion in another culture, and the friendships with host country and other international students as the most valuable aspects of the program. About half of ISEP institutions abroad offer courses in English. In countries where the language of instruction is not English, students may take intensive language courses, or, if they know the host language well enough, follow regular classes with native students.
