Over the past years we offered advice to foreign students who want to attend an American college or university. Today we tell about a way to study through the International Students Exchange Program (ISEP) which was started in nineteen seventy-nine in the United States.ISEP is a group of colleges and universities around the world. They cooperate to provide international educational experiences for their students. 260 schools in the United States and 35 in other countries are members of the program.Students can study for up to one year in the United States or any of the other countries involved. They do not have to go through the usual application process to get into a school. And pay only what they would have to pay for a term at their own school at home.To take part in the ISEP program, students must attend a member college or university. Each school has an ISEP coordinator who helps students apply to the ISEP office in Washington, D.C.To be accepted, students must have good grades. They must also provide TOEFL scores. TOEFL is the Test of English as a Foreign Language. Students are asked to list up to ten choices of American schools they would like to attend.ISEP officials say students should begin preparations at least one year before they want to experience the program. Applications must be sent to Washington by February of each year. The students accepted can then begin their year in the United States in September. According to the passage, ISEP ______.

A. provides international educational experiences
