What is WUE?

Western Undergraduate Exchange: A Quick Overview

The Western Undergraduate Exchange is a tuition reduction program administered by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE). It is not a need-based tuition program, which means that many students can take advantage of a more affordable out-of-state education.

Each participating school is allowed to administer the WUE tuition reduction according to their own rules. You’ll need to check the admissions or financial aid site of the school you’re interested in to make sure you know what your school requires.
