What is the Academic Common Market?
The Academic Common Market enables students who come from a Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) member state which does not offer an undergraduate or graduate-level degree program to attend Marshall University at the in-state tuition rate.
How do I know if I qualify for the Academic Common Market?
To qualify for the Academic Common Market, you must be a certified resident of a SREB member state. The Academic Common Market is not competitive or merit-based, but applicants must meet state residency and college program requirements. Residents from non-SREB states are not eligible to participate in the Academic Common Market. To find out if you are a resident of a SREB member state, please go the SREB website at http://home.sreb.org/acm/states.aspx to view the participating list of member states.
