The Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE)

What is WUE?

• The Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) is a tuition-saving program that makes attending out of state colleges and universities more affordable for students. Through WUE, you receive a reduced tuition rate, giving you more education options for your money. 

How does it work?

• Participating two and four year public college and universities across the Western U.S. agree to charge out of state students no more than 150% of the institutions in state tuition. Tuition savings may vary depending on the college or major.
• The bottom line: You save big with WUE and almost always pay less than out of state tuition.
