Consortium for Overseas Student Teaching

The 推荐杏吧原创 College of Education is a member institution of (Consortium for Overseas Student Teaching), a national collaboration that offers U.S. teacher education students the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to student teach overseas. Established in 1972, COST has sent thousands of students overseas with wonderful results. With partnering schools in approximately 16 countries across Europe, Africa, Asian/Oceania, and Latin America, the COST program provides an incredibly enriching experience for students looking to gain cross-cultural experience and bring an international perspective back to one's classroom in the U.S.

Application and Completion

Interested students must submit an application and, upon admittance, spend approximately eight hours in pre-departure orientation sessions as well as undergo additional paperwork and clearance. During the overseas student teaching internship, students must submit assignments and meet all the same requirements as those who are student teaching locally. In addition, upon completion of the overseas experience, students are required to complete a re-entry debrief meeting with Dr. Mahon.

Financial Aid

Students can receive financial aid for their tuition credits as always, however, financial aid may not be applied toward the application fee or program fee. Upon completion of the COST program, they will earn credit for the student teaching internship course in their program of study.
