Study in the U.S.A. - Southeast (in English) - ISEP Exchange
As an ISEP student, you can build your own program by choosing your courses from a variety of fields. Use the notes for course searching to help you find which courses are available.
HOUSING
On-Campus Housing
We are excited to announce that we are now able to guarantee on-campus housing. Students will be placed in a contemporary residence hall. These are double occupancy rooms. Residents in our contemporary halls enjoy in-room bathrooms, study rooms on each floor, conference rooms, community kitchens, and lounges with TVs on each floor. Each room includes a microwave/fridge. More information can be found on the Department of Student Housing page.
A linen pack (sheets, pillowcase, pillow, blanket, towel, washcloth) is available for a limited amount of money upon arrival. The cost will be billed to the student's bursar account after arrival. Students should bring or be prepared to purchase linens on-site if they do not take the provided linen pack.
Housing will remain open during all university breaks.
Off-Campus Housing Options
There are many other off-campus housing options available to students.
If you choose any of these housing options, you must arrange accommodations on your own. Please remember that some apartments are not within walking distance of campus or on the city bus routes.
No matter where you choose to live off campus, be sure to request a written lease from your landlord, including:
- a description of the property and the total number of people allowed to live in the property
- specific occupancy dates/length of lease
- subletting allowance
- deposit requirements
- monthly rent amount and due date
- how utilities are handled
- responsibility for maintenance and repairs.
ISEP and the University of Mississippi strongly encourage ISEP students to utilize the on-campus housing option. If you have questions about housing, please reach out to your ISEP Student Services Officer and your designated host coordinator post-acceptance.
MEALS
We have an unlimited meal plan option. Students can eat at the cafeterias as many times a week as they want. We can also give the students a stipend instead of a meal plan. Though our campus dining will accommodate food and diet restrictions, we find that students who need halal food would rather cook for themselves and receive a stipend.
Meal plans work during breaks each semester, but the dining hours are limited, so students need to be aware of the hours (Spring break, Thanksgiving holiday).
*Calendar Year students are not eligible for ISEP housing and meal benefits over the summer break.
Course Description
The university established the nation's first-degree program in Southern studies in 1979. Related resources are the Center for the Study of Southern Culture, B.B. King" s Rhythm and Blues Collection, and the finest North American collection in the field of English-language folklore. The program in William Faulkner's studies is also unique. History and English are other strong areas in the humanities. The Croft Institute for International Studies offers a challenging curriculum on a variety of world areas and pressing international and global issues.
In the sciences and professions, the university is outstanding in graduate-level business administration, law, acoustical and electrical engineering, pharmacy and pharmacology. The School of Pharmacy does the most extensive marijuana research in the country. The university houses the National Center for Physical Acoustics. The newly created Thad Cochran National Center for Natural Products Research performs cutting-edge research.

Students who complete the program in good standing can expect to earn 12-15 credits. Students typically enroll in 4-5 classes per term. A term runs for about 16 weeks. To determine how these credits convert at your home institution, please contact your home university coordinator.
