ISEP Introduction
The International Student Exchange Program (ISEP) is a network of 275 colleges and universities in 39 countries cooperating to provide affordable access to international education for a diverse student population. ISEP students gain intercultural competence through integration into their host institution and host culture while exploring the international dimensions of their academic field.
SLU students may study at any ISEP international member institution. In the recent past, St. Lawrence have studied at the following institutions through ISEP:
Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso - CHILE
Students live with host families on this program, and may take courses from across the curriculum at Valparaiso. Completion of 5 semesters of Spanish (or equivalent) is required prior to participation.
