Student-Initiated Programs
Students who cannot meet their academic objectives through an existing KU study abroad program may, with academic approval, develop a Student-Initiated Study Abroad program. Students participating in the program maintain residence status at the University and remain eligible for federal and institutional financial aid and scholarships.
"Traveling the world, experiencing other cultures and meeting people from all over the world has been the greatest part of my education. I realize now, that when I leave KU, I can venture out into the real world and meet people with respect and confidence."

ISEP - International Student Exchange Program
The University of Kansas is a charter member of the International Student Exchange Program, a consortium of approximately 225 universities in 36 countries worldwide to exchange students. Students enroll directly in university courses at their host institution. Generally, the language of instruction is the language of the host country, although there are many sites in countries whose primary language is not English which offer university-level courses in English. When applying to ISEP students choose several alternate sites; competition for placements varies from country to country. ISEP is a program for students who show a high level of independence.
Eligibility: Students with a minimum 2.75 GPA and junior status are preferred. Semester placements are available at many sites abroad. Apply by January 15 for the program beginning in the fall or a year-long program in order to have the best chance of the placement you desire. The deadline for spring is Aug. 15. The cost is $4,620 for spring 1997 or $8,190 for the 1996-1997 year. It includes tuition, health insurance and room and board. Generally, accommodations are provided in student housing and students receive a stipend for meals.
ISEP study sites are located in the following countries:
Argentina Japan
Australia Kenya

Belgium Korea
Brazil Malta
Canada Mexico
