With the nomination of your home university, you may apply to Michigan Tech for up to one year of non-degree-seeking studies as an exchange student.
How to Apply
- Submit the Exchange Student Application. To apply as an exchange student, you must first be nominated by your home university. Once we have received your nomination, we will email you a direct link to our exchange student application. All questions and inquiries regarding exchanges should be emailed to studyabroad@mtu.edu.
- Email your university transcripts or documents to international@mtu.edu. You or your university's exchange coordinator can send the transcripts. English translations must accompany all documents.
- Submit an English proficiency test score. This requirement may be waived depending on your country of origin and/or prior study in the US.
After You Apply
- Set up your Husky Portal. You will receive an email within one week after you apply for admission with instructions for setting up your Husky Portal. This application portal will have a checklist of required items you must submit to complete your application as well as links, next steps, and other helpful information to help guide you through the admissions process.
- Submit all required documents listed on your Husky Portal checklist, such as official transcripts, English proficiency test results, etc. All documents should be emailed to international@mtu.edu. Transcripts must be sent directly to Michigan Tech by your school. We cannot accept transcripts directly from students.
- Receive your admissions decision letter. You will receive an email letting you know that an update has been posted to your Husky Portal. You will login and view your decision at that time.
