Exchange student nominations must be completed by the exchange coordinator or the study abroad / education advisor for students interested in spending one semester to a year at Mississippi State University (MSU). Nominations are only accepted from MSU partner universities. Nominations must be submitted before the students complete their applications. This is not an online application for university admission. Students must submit their applications online with MSU. Your nomination will not guarantee university admissions, but will allow the admission offices and the International Institute to collaborate on how to best meet the needs of our anticipated exchange students at MSU.
