Student Exchange Programs

The Professional Student Exchange Program of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) enables students in the 13 western states and North Dakota to enroll in professional programs in other states when those programs are not available in their home states. Students accepted in the program pay resident tuition at public schools (or one-third the standard tuition at private schools) and their home states pay a support fee to the admitting school to help cover educational costs. Exchange areas supported by Idaho include medicine (support limited to four students per class at the University of Utah School of Medicine), optometry, and occupational therapy.
