Developing International Exchanges
This site serves as a guide for faculty on the Twin Cities campus to establish or renew international exchange agreements between the University of Minnesota and institutions outside the United States.
Consider this information carefully and inform the Office of International Programs of any new agreements that you develop. These guidelines help ensure that exchange agreements satisfy the objectives of the University community and are consistent with University policies governing international education.
Three basic steps to develop an exchange agreement:
- Review the information on this site before you plan your exchange.
-
Consult with OIP for information on existing agreements and facilitation of the approval process.

(See Informal for more information.)
