ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP

The 3 main categories of Associate Membership are:

Category A: A degree-awarding institution in North America engaged in student mobility programmes with BUTEX member institutions.

Category C: A non-degree awarding 'non-profit' organisation whose activities support student mobility programmes between North America and BUTEX member institutions.
