Goals & Objectives
The NMSU International Student Teaching Program (ISTP), housed in the College of Education's Department of Curriculum and Instruction, provides interested undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to teach in an international educational setting.
The program's objectives are:

  • to enhance students' cross-cultural skills and knowledge
  • to introduce students to the varied educational systems
    serving different countries
