PLANNING TO GO TO A COLLEGE OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA? WANT TO SAVE MONEY ON NONRESIDENT TUITION FEES? Founded in 1987, the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE, pronounced “woo-ee”) is a regional tuition-discount agreement administered by the WESTERN INTERSTATE COMMISSION FOR HIGHER EDUCATION (WICHE). WUE enables students from one of 16 WICHE STATES AND TERRITORIES IN THE WESTERN U.S. to enroll as nonresidents in 160+ participating public colleges and universities and pay 150 percent (or less) of the enrolling school’s resident tuition—which annually saves students an average of $9,000 each on the cost of nonresident tuition. |
