EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
Fort Hays State University participates in the National Student
Exchange (NSE) and the International Student Exchange Program
(ISEP). Through NSE, students pay FHSU tuition and attend one
of more than 140 colleges or universities in the U.S., Guam
and Puerto Rico. The NSE program is designed for sophomores
and juniors. Students who participate in ISEP have the opportunity
to pay FHSU tuition, room and board while enrolling in a foreign
university for one semester or year of study. These universities
are located in more than 46 countries on six continents. All
graduate and undergraduate students are eligible to participate
in ISEP. While on exchange, students have the opportunity to
expand their educational horizons by experiencing a different
climate, setting and culture. For more information about NSE
and ISEP, contact the Office of Student Affairs at 628-4276
or visit the exchange Web site at www.fhsu.edu/exchange.
STUDENT PUBLICATIONS
Two student publications, The Tiger’s Tale magazine and
the University Leader campus newspaper, are published at FHSU.
Both publications are distributed to students free of charge.
Paid positions are available on both staffs.
The Tiger’s Tale: The campus magazine is designed and
written by students, and is circulated once in the fall semester
and once in the spring semester.
University Leader: To keep up with what is happening at FHSU,
students read the University Leader. This newspaper is written,
managed and published by students. The Leader comes out twice

and administration buildings, residence halls and several off-campus
locations. The Leaders’ online edition can be accessed
